Hey, how's it goin'? At least it's Friday. Here we go ...
*DESK CHAT HIGHLIGHTS*
Because they're such a wonderful, delightful group, Dave wanders into
the audience to play America's fastest-growing quiz sensation -- 'Know
Your Current Events.' Dave: "You can touch me. All right? <<cheers>> Now
wait a minute. <<continuing applause>> No licking."
Participant # 1: Ashley from Chicago. She's here with her boyfriend,
Bob. She plays: 'Know Your Athletes Accused of Taking Steroids.'
Participant # 2: Mark, a banker from Charlotte, NC. How are things in
the banking business? It depends on the bank. His bank is good. Mark is
here with his wife. They're in town for a friend's wedding. He plays:
'Know Your Tainted Meat.'
Participant # 3: Kristin, a restaurant manager from Charlotte, NC.
(Dave: "I mean, it's like the twilight zone.") What kind of a restaurant
does she manage? A Mexican restaurant. Tex-Mex, actually. She's here
with her boyfriend, Nick. What does he do? He's also a restaurant
manager. She plays: 'Know Your Current Events.'
After the break, Dave tries his hand, so to speak, at a little 'hand
shadow' art. He also took a call from Raul Castro. CBS News set it up.
Apparently, the regime in Havana is becoming more PR savvy. (Raul: "Hi,
everybody. It's me, Raul -- the brother of America's favorite commie.
Remember, this Sunday, in Hollywood, Oscar is king." That's it? He's
gone. It may have been a robo-call.)
Ugh! Almost as bad as the police phone calls.
Also, we were paid a visit by Chris
Elliott and Gerard Mulligan. Chris says he was thinking about the fact
that in the last couple of months, he & Gerry have premiered a number of
projects right there on the Show. Unfortunately, each of their previous
projects has been canceled after about one episode. There was "Bionic
Guy." It was canceled after the first *promo*. Then there was "Skink the
Bounty Hunter." And who could forget, from just last week, "American
Conquistadors?" Well, tonight Chris & Gerry are promoting a *brand-new*
reality show, "Chris & Gerry's Kitchen Nightmares." Dave says it sounds
a little like that Gordon Ramsay's 'Kitchen Nightmares' show. Is it
similar to that show? Chris: "I have absolutely no idea what you're
talking about." Anyway, Chris & Gerry's 'Kitchen Nightmares' airs on
CBS. They brought a clip. Actually, they brought the entire first
episode. We take a look. Excellent. I think this one's a winner. So what
are Chris & Gerry doing after tonight's Show? They're going over to
Rachael Ray's to 'egg the standby line.'
I thought this was one of the weaker bits by Gerry and Chris.
*STEVE MARTIN*
The book is "Born Standing Up." I may just have to read it.
Good job by Steve as always.
*RAYMOND CROWE*
His thing: he does 'hand shadow' performance art. I guess this was about
what I expected.
Eh! I really thought he was going to do this on the buildings outside.
As it was ther performance was OK I guess.
*MISCELLANEOUS MEANDERING*
What's happenin', people? Do you already have a touch of the Oscar Fever?
Do people still read periodicals? I think, pound for pound, one of the
best periodicals being published today is "New York" magazine.
I used to get Time, Sports Illustrated and Sporting News but no I dont
read the periodicals that much nowadays.
Hope ya all have a fun weekend.
Bill
