Richard Gere; Gene Rurka; and Aqualung.
PLUS: A Message from Laura Bush; Late Show Fun Facts; a Top Ten list; and I’VE BEEN CUT!
ACT 1 A MESSAGE FROM LAURA BUSH: We see Ms. Bush on the “Larry King Live” show. Laura: “The President / is a real / pain in / the neck.”
Before Dave can get to the next thing, he is interrupted by a staffer. STAFFER: “Excuse me, Dave? Did you fill out your bracket for the March Madness office pool?” DAVE: “No, I haven’t gotten around to it yet.” STAFFER: “They’re due by the end of the show. Can you have it done by then?” DAVE: “I’m afraid I’m kind of busy during the show.” STAFFER: (a bit miffed) “You can spare a few minutes. It’s not like anybody’s watching.” (staffer tosses March Madness sheet on Dave’s desk and exits)
AND NOW THE PEEK BEHIND THE SCENES: The above may have been edited out of Wednesday’s show. As I was writing this, I was informed it was on the chopping block, not because it didn’t go over well, but because we were very heavy on time. If it was edited out, I must admit the bit was a laugh riot which people are still raving about. If it wasn’t edited out, ignore what I just said.
After exiting, I remained just inside the guest entrance for the first 2 ACTS. I missed a lot of the show.

After the show, I found one Fun Fact in the batch that wasn’t with the rest. I’m not sure if Dave skipped it, if it never made the list, or simply was misplaced after the show. Bonus Fun Fact:
- At the Last Supper, Jesus was automatically billed eighteen percent gratuity because his party included six or more people.
GREAT MOMENTS IN PRESIDENTIAL SPEECHES: We see FDR. We see JFK. We see our President say, “Is this like a distillery?”
ACT 2 TOP TEN; Signs Your Wife Is Having an Affair with Newt Gingrich
– Newt Gingrich recently admitted that he cheated on his wife when he was Speaker of the House, while at the same time he was denouncing President Clinton for his affair with Monica Lewinsky.
This explanation was questioned by Dave. Uh oh. I type up the explanation. Was something wrong? I couldn’t really hear what was going on but I hate it when anything I do is discussed on the air. I’m like a baseball umpire. If what I’ve done comes to the attention of the show, it’s usually not good. I think my explanation was correct. I hope this is edited out and not my performance, a performance many on the staff are still talking about.
GENE RURKA: He’s the Exotic Foods Chairman for the Explorers Club. Each year he hosts dinners for the Club and he presents some rather odd dishes. He is here tonight to offer some of the delicacies up to Dave. Mr. Rurka explains that the food is not weird, but a food alternative.
On tonight’s menu:
Hard boiled ostrich egg
expensive coffee
rattlesnake pancakes
alligator bites with honey glazed dip
goat, calf, and pig eyeballs with onions and olives
Teriyaki cockroach skewers – we never got to this.
Dang it. I kept notes on the segment on the back of my phony March Madness Office Pool sheets. And now I realize I threw them out. I’ll try my best to recreate the moment.
Dave and Gene share a huge hard-boiled ostrich egg. It looks big enough to feed a family. Dave samples a slice of the white and doesn’t think much of it.
expensive coffee – the coffee bean comes from the droppings of the civet cat. The civet eats the beans, and civet ‘juices’ are absorbed during the digestion, and when it is eliminated, the waste is gathered and made into coffee. OK. Dave tries some coffee but complains that it is too weak. He is unsatisfied. You know, if I were to drink coffee made from the droppings of a civet cat, it could never be too weak for me.
rattlesnake pancakes – ehh. Dave samples the pancakes and rates it, “This stuff tastes like ‘djoy.’” (to decipher ‘djoy’, simply look to the left on your keyboard of each letter in ‘djoy.’)
orchids – Dave eats flowers. “Do you mind if I eat your corsage?”
alligator --- ewwwww. The alligator is still in form but with its skin stripped off. Dave tries a piece. I “Played the Dave” and said, “It tastes like crocodile.” Dave didn’t say it. By this time I don’t think he was much of a playful mood. Dave thinks the rattlesnake and gator would taste better if it were heated. Right now everything is room temperature . . . . Ed Sullivan Theater-room temperature.
Eyeballs – Pig, goat, or calf. Dave allows Gene to make the first pick. Dave goes next. I’m not sure which he ate. Looking over the buffet, Dave says of his sampled delicacies, “This stuff is really gross.”
Reminds me of the NBC commissary. Oops, sorry. That’s a Johnny Carson joke.
ACT 3-4 RICHARD GERE: Richard and Dave both have a cold they are fighting. Dave says he caught something from his son Harry back around Christmas. Dave was just about over it last week when he got hit with something again.
Mr. Gere has a new restaurant in the works in a small town in upstate New York. He refurbished an 18th century home that was in danger of being destroyed and made it into a restaurant. Dave warns to be careful because the help will steal him blind. Richard thanks Dave for the advice. Richard will be spending a lot of time at the restaurant. He estimates he’ll probably be there every day, every hour, until he’s 75 years old.
And after watching Rurka the Explorer guy, Gere remembers traveling once to Borneo and staying for 10 days. For part of the trip he stayed with the natives and ending up eating dog. Yum. Perhaps not the best story to tell after mentioning you’re opening a restaurant.
Richard’s newest film, The Hoax, opens April 6th and is based on the Clifford Irving/Howard Hughes biography hoax. Clifford Irving claimed he had a very close relationship with Howard Hughes and had written a biography of the famed eccentric. But it turned out to be all a hoax. Clifford Irving didn’t know Howard Hughes but he was able to fool everybody; the publishers; 60 Minutes; Life Magazine. The bio was all made up.
ACT 5: Announce: “Tonight’s Late Show is brought to you by Empire State Ostrich Eggs. Whether you’re a professional chef or a hobbyist, Empire State Ostrich Eggs is the place for you.
You’ve tried the rest; not try the best.
We’ll be right back.”
ACT 6 AQUALUNG: From their new CD, “Memory Man,” Aqualung performed “Pressure Suit.”
And that was our show for Wednesday, March 14, 2007.
I still don’t know if I was cut out of the show or not. (DOOOHHHHH! I just found out it was cut. Somebody on the show told a story that went on too long. He owes me big time.)
Anyway, it was LIVE with me at Dave’s desk. I had 5 lines. I interrupt Dave --- line 1. Dave responds. I deliver 2 more lines. Dave responds. I deliver 2 more lines, leave the betting sheet, and then exit. Sounds simple, but I made the mistake of listening to my amplified voice while giving my first line. I almost got lost halfway through. As I was listening to myself speak, I was also yelling at myself to not listen and concentrate on what I was doing. I soon got back on track. And then after delivering my line, I was concentrating so hard on my next line that I didn’t even hear what Dave was saying. He could have recited the alphabet for all I knew. And when I saw his mouth stop moving, I gave my next two lines. He again responded and then I waited for his mouth to stop moving. And then I gave my last two lines and got out of there. I had no idea how it went but was satisfied it wasn’t a disaster. I remained just outside the guest entrance in case I was called back. And it was suggested I stay during the ACT 2 during the Explorers Club guy in case Dave wanted to call me out to eat an eyeball or something. I didn’t think he would but I did as I was told. After the eating demo, I went back to the shack for the rest of the show.
It’s been a beautiful few days here in the northeast, but then the calendar noticed that it was St. Patrick’s Day on Saturday and decided to bring in the customary rain mixed with snow. Never fails. It’ll get nice again by Monday and then turn bad for Yankees Opening Day. For the Mets opener, it’ll be sunny and 70. At least that’s the way I always remember it.
My March Madness Picks – be advised, I know 3 college players, none by their full name. There’s the Noah guy on Florida; Oden on Ohio State; a tall young center on Texas whose name begins with a D; and . . . and . . . Ewing on Georgetown.
Final Four: Ohio State; Florida; Marquette; Pittsburgh.
And the big upset in the first round . . . . let’s try #12 Arkansas over #5 Southern Cal in the East. Many people are snarling that Arkansas shouldn’t have been invited to the tourney. That usually guarantees a first round win. Oh, and that also means that Syracuse will be out of the N.I.T. early, probably the 2nd round.
(N.I.T. is short for the Not Invited Tournament.)
I like Pittsburgh because their assistant coach is Orlando Antigua. Orlando once appeared on the LATE SHOW as a KYCE contestant on February 11, 1999.
As a Social Studies project, my daughters had to pick a team in the basketball tournament out of a hat and do some research on the team. They need to find where the school is located; the school’s history, something about the team; the team’s history; and information about the state. For the assignment, they’ll also have to write a business letter to the school. And then the 3 classes, consisting of about 65 students, will follow their team throughout the tournament. Dominique got the #13th ranked Albany in the South bracket. They play #4 Virginia in the first round. Danielle got North Carolina, the #1 team in the East, who play #16 Eastern Kentucky in the first round. I then told Danielle (North Carolina) to tell her teacher that she will follow North Carolina, but she will only follow the North Carolina women’s team. The women also have a 64-team tournament going on and the Tarheels are also ranked #1 in the bracket. I ripped out the women’s 64-team brackets from Tuesday’s USA Today and sent it in with her to school. North Carolina women’s play Prairie View in the first round.
I’m curious to hear the teacher’s reaction.
And hey! I just noticed that the NYU Violets women’s basketball team is in the Division 3 tournament and advanced to the next round. They play Washington U. on Friday. NYU’s leading scorer? Jessica McEntee --- no relation, but close enough.
ST. PATRICK
“St. Patrick was born in 385 AD somewhere along the west coast of Britain, possibly in the Welsh town of Banwen. At age 16, he was captured and sold into slavery to a sheep farmer. He escaped when he was 22 and spent the next 12 years in a monastery. In his 30s he returned to Ireland as a Christian missionary. He died at Saul in 461 AD and is buried at Downpatrick.
Maligned Yankee 3rd baseman Alex Rodriguez has the option of remaining with the team after this year. He is leaning towards staying with the team but it all depends on how he is treated by the fans this year. If he feels the fans don’t like him, he’ll leave. Oh, Alex Alex Alex. You so don’t get what it takes to be a New Yorker. I’ve been defending you since you’ve got here but you may be too fragile to save. Stop worrying what we think! Just do well when it counts. When New York fans sense a weakness and the player denies the weakness, it’s a tough ride for the player.
Due to the March Madness on CBS, the Late Show will be in repeats this Thursday and Friday, and next Thursday and Friday. Our previously-viewed programs for tomorrow and Friday. THURSDAY: From February 13, 2007; #2704: Peyton Manning; ventriloquist Dan Horn and Orson; and The Cat Empire. FRIDAY: From February 22, 2007; #2711: Billy Bob Thornton; Rashida Jones; and Barenaked Ladies.
Read the Wahoo Archives and make your plans accordingly.
OH DAMN! I forgot today was Pi Day. I always celebrate March 14th, Pi Day, with a special script cover. And I forgot. Instead I put this on the cover: from the USA Today
“Idaho: Boise – Homeowner Glen Wersch is trying to track down the person who plowed a car through his fence, so he can give the culprit $200. After Wersch woke one morning to find his fence damaged in an apparent hit-and-run, he posted a sign in his yard asking the driver to pay for repairs. The driver anonymously sent him $600 and a letter of explanation. But Wersch says the repairs cost $400, and he wants to return the extra money.”
And so ends another issue of the Wahoo Gazette, the world’s longest continuous-running blog on the internet . . . . I think.
