Bill Cosby; and Angela Kinsey. PLUS:The FOX News Democratic Debate; Sue Hum with Cupcakes; TV Watching Away From Home; Great Moments in Presidential Speeches; a Top Ten List; and Late Show Fun Facts.
“. . . . and now, the man they call ‘Governor Steamroller’ . . . . David Letterman!” ACT 1:
During the monologue, Dave mentions, “the murder rate in down in NYC --- only 84 murders so far this year.” That’s less than 1 a day. Back when I patrolled the streets in the 80s, we would hit 2,000 a year, nearly 6 a day.
Dave is thinking of returning to the standup circuit and wants to try some of his material out tonight.
“Do you know those Styrofoam peanuts . . .. don’t you hate them?”
That’s all he has so far. It’s still a work in progress.
First is was John Edwards and now it’s Senators Obama and Clinton who have pulled out of a debate which was to be hosted by FOX News. Since they’ve already booked the venue, FOX is moving ahead with the event, but Dave is not sure how exciting it’s going to be. We see this announcement. Announcer: “The 2008 presidential election is in full swing, so don’t miss the Democratic presidential debate host by FOX News. The sparks are going to fly when the only willing participant, Dennis Kucinich (see shot of Kucinich giving a animated speech), debates himself (split screen of Kucinich giving the same speech). It’s gonna be sick! FOX News. We report. You decide.”
Just then, Sue Hum, our costume designer enters with a platter of lovely cupcakes.
Dave: “Oh, hi, Sue.” Sue: “I baked cupcakes.” Dave: “That’s lovely, Sue.” Dave goes back to doing the show. Sue remains. Dave: “Sue, what is it?” Sue: “Go ahead, have a cupcake!” Dave: “Sue, those do look tasty, but I don’t think I want a cupcake right now.” Sue: turning angry – “Go to hell, you dried-up old freak.” Sue storms off.
Dave is flummoxed. “What did I do, Paul? You saw the whole thing!”
Paul doesn’t have an answer.
Sue was supposed to throw the cupcakes to the floor and storm off. Sue forgot to throw the cupcakes. Some were disappointed. I wasn’t. They tasted great.
A new study has found that an increasing number of people now watch television away from home. And that’s not the only trend they found. We take a look at this announcement. Announcer: “According to a recent study by the Arbitron ratings service, more and more Americans are watching television away from home than ever before. Among the most common alternative venues, bars are popular places to watch sports, many workplaces let people watch the news, and prisons punish inmates with the most grueling unpleasant programming available.
(Shot of inmates watching Dave on the Late Show) The Late Show: Still #1 at the gray bar hotel.”
GREAT MOMENTS IN PRESIDENTIAL SPEECHES: We see FDR. We see JFK. We see George W. Bush saying something about plucking onions.
ACT 2
“ . . . and then just when you think you have them all swept up, you find one behind your ear.” Huh? Oh, year, he’s back on the Styrofoam peanuts.

ACT 3 TOP TEN SIGNS YOU HAVE BAD LUCK – It’s Friday the 13th. 8. Instead of “the luck of the Irish,” you have ‘the luck of the Kurdish” 3. Highlight of your trip to New York City was attending a taping of the Late Show
ACT 3-4: BILL COSBY: Dr. Cosby sits on a stool, center stage, and chats with the audience. And it’s all about the cold weather . . . in the Ed Sullivan Theater. Is it any wonder Dave has been out sick recently?
Bill congratulates Dave on his turning 60. Bill will soon be hitting 70. There is no truth to the rumor that nothing good happens after 60.
Some drawbacks to the 60s: Physicals take a lot longer.
Bill admits to not being very good with new technology. All he needs is a number 2 pencil and a piece of paper.
How old am I --- Years ago, a friend was totaling a list of numbers from a recent church collection using a new invention: the calculator. I said I could do it faster with a pencil and paper. The race was on. I won. I felt like Paul Bunyon against a guy with a chainsaw.
Bill, nearly 70, has a website now, www.billcosby.com, but admits he doesn’t know anything about it. His wife runs it. He’s convinced she runs it just so she knows where he is.
Uhhh, I missed a lot of Bill. I was called away and didn’t get to watch. From someone else’s bullet points from the segment:
- Wake up for no reason
- Wife finishing sentences
- Wife laughs after watching the Discovery channel
- What are you doing with cars?
- After 60, the wife wants to drive.
- Wives just want you around.
- Bill saw his wife and child eating at the dinner table. They paid him no mind. He
realized, “If I wasn’t working, they’d have me killed.”
Bill Cosby:
April 22nd at the Mystic Lake Casino Celebrity Palace in Prior Lake, Minnesota.
April 27-28 at Casino Rama Entertainment Center in Rama, Ontario.
My brother went to see Bill Cosby back in the mid 70s. He remembers Dr. Cosby coming out and sitting on a stool and telling stories. My brother and his friends laughed non-stop for the next two hours. Bill never raised his voice; rarely got off his stool. All he did was tell stories.
ACT 5: “Tonight’s Late Show has been brought to you by Styrofoam peanuts. Who was the sadistic ‘[tovl’ who came up with these ‘noyvj’es? Know what I mean?
We’ll be right back.”
ACT 6-7: ANGELA KINSEY:
- At 2-years-old, Angela and her family moved from Louisiana to Indonesia. Her dad was a drilling engineer. They lived there for 12 years.
- Living in Indonesia, you could get any animal you wanted on the black market as a pet. A lot of her friends had monkeys. She doesn’t know why but monkeys hate her. Her friend Becky Dimster had a monkey. Becky and Angela got into a little fight one day. Becky’s monkey didn’t like that and attacked Angela. And every time Angela visited, the monkey would lock eyes with her and pee in front of her.
- At 14, her family moved to Texas to a really small town of 1,600. Her graduating class was 34. She made a friend with a girl whose family was big into the rodeo scene. They even turned their backyard into a mini-rodeo. Her friend’s dad lost his thumb when he roped it off by accident. Anyway, one night during a sleepover she was given a mule to ride. She sensed something wasn’t right. Poor Angela was set up and was bucked off the mule. It got a big hoot at the mini-rodeo. And the next day at the Dairy Queen, everyone had already heard of the new kid getting thrown from the mule.
- Angela is in the NBC hit show, The Office. It airs Thursdays at 8:30.
And that was our show for Friday April 13, 2007.
I’ve always wondered how a Friday could be considered bad luck.
The Fear of the #13: triskaidekaphobia – I say it this way: triska-deka-phobia. The Fear of Friday the 13th: paraskavedekatriaphobia: Para-skava-deka-tria-phobia
I was thinking of giving Dave this information, but then I would have to tell him how to pronounce it. I decided to keep it standing by in case it came up during the show.
I was flipping the channels the other night and stopped on Anderson Cooper 360 on CNN. As he spoke in hushed tones, on the screen was a big house. Obviously something very important was happening. I hear him say that the show will stay with the story at it unfolds. My first thought was there was a hostage situation. And then I thought there was a death of a very powerful political figure. I wasn’t sure what it was but I knew the situation to be grave and ominous. Everything looked and sounded life threatening. And then I realized it was a shot of the governor’s mansion in New Jersey. Inside was Imus visiting with the Rutgers women’s basketball team.
A witches coven consists of 13 members.
There are 13 steps leading to the gallows.
I finally watched the Academy Award winning film, The Departed. It won Best Picture and Martin Scorcese won Best Director. I liked the film but there was one glaring inconsistency that should have canceled out both Awards I mentioned above.
If you haven’t seen the film, maybe you should skip the following . . . . but come to think of it, I don’t think I’m giving anything away. Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio just graduated from the Academy and became members of the Massachusetts State Police. Later we see them being interviewed for a special undercover post. Doing the interviewing is Martin Sheen and Mark Wahlberg. They are very tough on the Damon and DiCaprio; asking tough, accusing and intimidating questions and letting them know they know everything about them, citing Damon’s and DiCaprio’s history of neighborhood friends, family, high school, and early jobs. Sheen and Wahlberg were very thorough and it was obvious you couldn’t slip anything passed them. But earlier in the movie, seconds after graduating from the Academy, we see Matt Damon walk over to a waiting car to talk to the biggest crime figure in Boston, Jack Nicholson. Nicholson had known Damon and his family for years. So why didn’t Sheen and Wahlberg know this? Ten seconds after graduation, Matt Damon, still in his graduating uniform, is talking to Jack Nicholson 50 feet away from where he just picked up his diploma at the outdoor ceremony. Somehow, Sheen and Wahlberg were unaware of this. Heck, Nicholson had been a part of Damon’s life for years! How could they know so much and not know this?
But then, maybe I missed an obvious point in the film. Maybe Sheen and Wahlberg knew the connection and they too were somehow involved with Nicholson? Or maybe there was another reason . . . and if there was a reason then Scorcese made it too hard to figure out. And I don’t like to think too hard at the movies. I just paid money . . . I don’t want to have to work. All I want to do is sit back and be entertained.
13 knots in a hangman's noose.
Ooh, I almost forgot . . . this Monday night on your late night 11:00 News . . . it’s the annual visit to the post office to talk to last-second tax-filers. Oh, what fun! And if you miss it, don’t worry, you can watch the same exact thing next year and the year after and the year after that.
And now I think Imus needs to apologize to New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine.
According to Smithsonian Magazine "fear of the #13 costs American a billion dollars per year in absenteeism, train and plane cancellations, and reduced commerce on the 13th of the month."
I watched The Wonder Years on the ION Television channel last night. In this episode, Kevin was unsure on how to act upon his crush with Winnie.
13 feet which the guillotine blade falls.
After the local hockey teams are out of the playoffs, I always root for the Canadian teams. The Stanley Cup means more their fans.
And now more useless information from “The Book of Useless Information.”
- “101 Dalmations” and “Peter Pan” are the only two classic Disney cartoon features in which both parents are present and don’t die throughout the movie.
- There are 225 spaces on a Scrabble board
- Dr. Seuss coined the word “nerd” in his 1950 book, “If I Ran The Zoo”
- Ernest Vincent Wright wrote the fifty-thousand word novel “Gatsby” without any word containing the letter “e.”
- The Bible is the number-one shoplifted book in America
A "quatrorzieme" is a professional 14th guest hired by the French who had only 13 guests in attendance for dinner, who felt that was unlucky.
And so ends another issue of the Wahoo Gazette, the world’s longest continuous-running blog on the internet . . . . I think.
