“ . . . and now, bottom feeder . . . . David Letterman!
ACT 1
It’s October, and that means it’s Baseball Playoff Time!
And now it’s time for the “New York Mets Playoff Preview.”
Music; graphic. Announce: “Tomorrow, Tommy Glavine will be at Pottery Barn, with his wife shopping for new cushions. This has been the ‘New York Mets Playoff Preview.’”
South American madman Hugo Chavez has released his first CD, a collection of traditional Venezuelan folk songs. Does don’t know much about Venezuelan folk music, but gave it a listen and admits he has a lovely voice. We listen to a cut.
We hear a raspy Spanish version of Wang Chung’s “Everybody Have Fun Tonight.”
“Todos Wang Chung esta noche, todos Wang Chung esta noche/ todos tiene diversion esta noche, todos Want Chung esta noche. . .”
The name of the CD: “Canciones de Siempre” – translates to “Songs For All Time.”
Regis Philbin celebrated his 20th year in syndication. He has been a great friend to us, so we thought it’d be a good idea to get our staffers together and ask them to share their favorite “Memories of Regis.”
Tonight: Talent Coordinator, Sarah Billington: “Regis is the most fun, energetic guest we have on the show. I think it’s because he’s always hopped up on painkillers.”
The latest beef recall has everyone concerned about e.coli. Dave estimates over 20 million pounds of chop meat had to be recalled. The fast-food industry was quick to reassure customers that they are doing everything they can to ensure their safety. We take a look at an announcement from Roy Rogers. Announce: “In light of the latest beef recall, consumers are more concerned than ever about food safety. That’s why Roy Rogers is inviting you, our loyal customers, to come to our ranches and personally inspect our cattle, check them for e.coli, pick a strong, healthy animal you like, stun it, slaughter it, skin it, gut it, grind it up, fry it and top it off with your choice of delicious items from our fixin's bar. And why not bring the family? Roy Rogers: Making meat fun again.”
GREAT MOMENTS IN PRESIDENTIAL SPEECHES.
We see Truman.
We see Eisenhower.
We see George W. Bush: “ . . . lemme lemme lemme sp . . . lemme sp . . . lemme lemme”
ACT 2
Back from commercial, we see a businessman on his cellphone enter behind Dave. The guy suddenly realizes he’s on TV. He says into his cellphone, “Whoa! Turn on Letterman! I’m on TV! Yeah, right now! I’m right behind him! See! Yeah, that’s me!” The guy walks off, all excited he was on the TV.
It’s time to say hello to Johnny Twain. The scrim rises. We see Johnny Twain sitting in a rocking chair in a quaint, antique living room setting. Johnny Twain: “Oh, hello. I didn’t hear you come in. Twain’s the name, Johnny Twain. I’ve lived a very long, rich rewarding life, but things are different now that I’m old. Last week, a girl asked me if I wanted to have super sex . . . . I took the soup.
But you know, I’ve got the worst luck. This morning I put on my jacket and a button fell off. I picked up my briefcase and the handle fell off. Now I’m afraid to go to the bathroom.
I tell you, it’s not easy being me. I told my doctor, ‘I think my wife has V.D.’ He gave himself a shot of penicillin.
I don’t get any respect at all. My wife always likes to talk during sex. Last night, she called me from a motel.
It’s tough, I tell you. I remember the last time my wife wanted to have sex with me. I asked her why. She said she needed to time an egg.
Good night, America.”
Scrim lowers as Johnny Twain waves.
TOP TEN: Ways George W. Bush Can Boost His Approval Rating - Dave says we seem to do this about 3 times a year. In the recent Washington Post/ABC News poll, the President’s approval rating is at an all-time low of 33%.
Dave says that is doesn’t seem that bad, 33%. “If you were a hitter in baseball that would get you into the Hall of Fame.”
ACT 3 JUDE LAW: in the new film, Sleuth, which opens in selected cities on October 12th. It is a new version of the 1972 film of the same name. Michael Caine appeared in the 1972 film, and returns in the current version. Jude plays the character Michael played in ’72. The film is about two guys living in a house fighting over a woman we never see.
With so many of our big stars in legal trouble, has Jude ever been in trouble with the law? Jude laughs and admits he has. It happened last month outside his home in London. Jude walked outside and found a guy swinging something over his head. Jude soon realized that the guy, a photographer, was trying to get a reaction out of Jude. A photo of Jude walking will earn a photographer something, but a photo of an upset Jude reacting in anger is much more valuable. Nothing happened, but later in the day the police said Jude had to come to the police station to fill out a report. The photographer had pressed charges. When Jude arrived at the police station, the photographer was there ready to take his picture. A photo of Jude leaving a police station gets some good money too, I guess. The police officer realized what was going on and sneaked Jude in and out of the police station. No photo for the photographer.
Where does Jude go on holiday? He likes to slink away quietly to a place called the Isles of Scilly (Silly). It’s off the south coast of England which few people know about. Jude admits he probably should not say too much about it because the isolation of the Isles of Scilly is what makes it so attractive. What can you do there? Jude flies kites with his kids, go sailing, and go crabbing.
I first went crabbing 30 years ago. My brothers and I would tie a chicken neck to the end of a string. We would throw the chicken into the bay and slowly bring in the line. When the chicken neck nears, there would usually be a crab gnawing on it. My brother would then swoop down with a net on a long stick and nab the crab. These days, crabbing is no longer a challenge. You tie a chicken neck to the bottom of a cage. You drop the cage into the bay. When the cage hits the bottom, it opens up. After a minute or so, you yank on the rope which closes the cage. If there was a crab chomping on the chicken neck, it’s now trapped in cage. No talent needed; just drop the cage and yank on it a few minutes later. It’s more fun with a net.
Sleuth – opens in selected cities on October 12th.
ACT 4
In the wake of the New York Mets season, we asked our announcer Alan Kalter to provide some insights and analysis into what went wrong. Alan: “Hi, and welcome to ‘Alan Kalter’s New York Mets Season Wrap-Up.’ After being in first place since May 16th, the New York Mets completed their historic collapse yesterday by losing to the last place Florida Marlins. As sickened as I am by this egregious development, let’s be honest --- the Mets deserved it. Not running out ground balls, horrible situational hitting, terrible relief pitching. I mean, is this what the 3rd highest payroll in baseball get us? Well, I am done with this team! And anyone who’s still a Mets fan after this season is a moron! Yeah, you heard me! A complete moron . . . .”
Suddenly, a huge guy in a Mets shirt and cap enters. He grabs Alan by the neck and pummels him about the head and face. He puts Alan into a headlock and continues to box Alan’s ears in. Alan falls to the ground and the Mets fan exits, still angry. A moment later we realize the guy’s anger hasn’t subsided. He re-enters and provides a couple more kicks to the fallen announcer. He then exits.
I don’t know how this guy got past our security. He must have told them he came to beat up Alan.
ACT 5 Announce: “Coming up next, Dave wrestles a gator! It will be fantastic! We’ll be right back Sugar.”
ACT 6 SARAH SILVERMAN Sarah: “I don’t want to talk about my time in prison. I’d rather just talk about my new perfume.” Dave laughs at the reference from last Friday’s program and explains that there are times he thinks everyone is having fun and a good time, and the next thing he knows, someone is crying their eyes out.
Sarah is Jimmy Kimmel’s “main squeeze” as the kids say. How’d they meet? Sarah says she first met Jimmy at a Hugh Hefner Roast. Kimmel was hosting the Roast and as a roaster, Sarah had to make jokes not only about Hugh, but others on the panel. She said of Jimmy, “He’s fat and has no charisma . . . . look out, Danny Aiello. . .” Jimmy returned the dig with a very long list of people Sarah had sex with. And things went on from there.
Sarah grew up in New Hampshire and now lives in Los Angeles. Her dad calls her once a week and he still can’t get over the cell phone. He’ll call her up and say things like, “There you are in California and here I am in New Hampshire talking to you on a cell phone!” Last week he left a message on her answering machine while he was going through a car wash. Half way through the message, he starts saying “Oy . . . oy . . .oy oy oy . . .” He left the window down. He was going through the car wash and forgot to roll up the window. He got soaked. Oy.
And not only is he her dad, he’s also her business manager, though maybe not the best. Sarah recently had to explain to him that in finance, “K” means thousand. He didn’t know that.
Dave asks about her show on Comedy Central, “The Sarah Silverman Program,” describing her character as “a very confident dumb woman.” I sort of remember Dave once saying his favorite people are loud, confident, dumb people.
(I just looked it up in my files. I’m surprised I had it. On December 27, 1999, Dave described John Rocker as “my favorite combination”; an “energetic dumb guy.”)
Comedy Central wasn’t all that supportive at first, which was fine with Sarah because she is very comfortable with being the underdog, but now things have changed. “The Sarah Silverman Program” has turned into a big success. She’s not sure how to handle it. The 2nd season premieres Wednesday night at 10:30 PM.
ACT 7 JOHN FOGERTY: From his new CD, “Revival,” John Fogerty performed “Long Dark Night.” Great Rock and Roll, the way it oughta be.
And that was our show for Tuesday October, 2, 2007.
Oh, I almost forgot: From Friday’s Wahoo Gazette, September 28th:
“Prediction: New York Post headline if the Mets don’t make the playoffs:
- ‘YOU GOTTA BEREAVE!’”
The New York Daily News and the New York Post both ran that very headline on Saturday, the day after the Mets fell out of first place for the first time since May. DING! “You Gotta Bereave!”
But the fact that BOTH newspapers ran the same headline tells me it wasn’t so original or clever.
(Note: In 1973, Mets relief pitcher Tug McGraw created the rally cry “You Gotta Believe!” The rally cry has continued to live on with the Mets ever since.)
Hopefully, Isiah Thomas can teach the Knicks to harass opposing point guards as much as he harassed Anucha Browne Sanders.
Laugh-out-loud moment of Saturday’s Mets/Marlins game which the Mets won 13-0. Mets Jose Reyes was on 3rd base and began jawing at the Marlins catcher who was on the pitcher’s mound with his pitcher. Whatever Reyes said irked the catcher and the catcher charged at Reyes. The elderly Mets 3rd base coach Sandy Alomar got in between the charging catcher and his all-star shortstop standing on 3rd. Jose Reyes was only too glad to let the senior citizen Alomar take on the brunt of the attack.
I tend to be pessimistic when it comes to my favorite teams in the playoffs. Do any Cleveland Indian fans feel the same way? If so, let me know why your Indians will lose to the Yankees and I’ll tell you why the Yankees will lose to your Indians.
What a day! John Fogerty on the Late Show and Springsteen’s new CD is released. I haven’t been this excited since Rock Wilk released his CD “Broke Wide Open.” You can find it here: www.myspace.com/wilkmusic www.samahmusic.com www.wilkmusic.com
Fogerty is near the top of my list of favorite musicians, and possibly could be #1. I only go out into the audience for a music performance here at the Late Show maybe three times a year. Darlene Love is one. Fogerty tonight was another.
And this may be my last chance to get my girls to listen to Fogerty and Springsteen. I’ll make it a point to play their CDs more than I normally would. My 11-year-old girls need to find good music. This is the time. They need to hear it now.
My Baseball Playoff Preference:
American League
Yankees
Boston Red Sox
Cleveland Indians
California Angels of Anaheim and Los Angeles
Yes, I know Yankee fans are screaming at me for putting the Red Sox as my #2 hope for the American League . . . but I like the Red Sox. I like their tradition, their history, their ball park. But I may flip flop the Indians and Red Sox preference after I watch some Indian games. The Indians haven’ won it in years, and you know, the Indian mascot is Chief Wahoo.
National League
Chicago Cubs
Philadelphia Phillies
Colorado Rockies
Arizona Diamondbacks
And my preference to win it all:
Yankees
Cubs
Phillies
Red Sox
Indians
Angels
Rockies
Diamondbacks
To put a dagger in the Mets back, a Yankee/Phillies World Series would be pretty good. I would really like a Yankee/Cubs World Series, but a Red Sox/Cub World Series would be pretty good, too.
WAHOO GAZETTE’S MEET THE CANIDATES
Tonight: CHARLES T. MAXHAM
My name is Charles T. Maxham. Welcome to my web site. http://home.earthlink.net/~maxhamforpresident/
The American voter has not had a valid candidate for president since Kennedy and Roosevelt. It is about time that someone comes forward and shows the other candidates just what real Americans expect from their president.
On this web site you will find out what the President of the United States should be like - what the American citizens expect from him or her, what he or she believes is best for America and not what is best for neither the rich nor the corporations owned by the rich.
Therefore, I am running as an independent candidate for President of the United States of America in 2008.
I love to golf.
For the past 8 years, I have been on the Board of Directors and the Secretary of the High Bridge Hill's Golf Association. We are located at the High Bridge Hills Golf Club in historic High Bridge, New Jersey. I have just been relected to the Board for another three year term.
I am a writer. I recently completed my latest book, Look No More, which is a romantic adventure about an ex-ace jet fighter pilot and a concert pianist who end up fighting terrorists in war-torn Iraq.
I love Country music. I play the guitar and I like to think of myself as a singer. But my darling wife, Unni, the angel that God sent to watch over me, often reminds me to keep my day job and not try to make it on my vocal chords alone. And my wife is usually right about these things.
This has been the Wahoo Gazette Meet the Candidates.
Has Matt Holliday touched home plate yet?

I love Country music. I play the guitar and I like to think of myself as a singer. But my darling wife, Unni, the angel that God sent to watch over me, often reminds me to keep my day job and not try to make it on my vocal chords alone. And my wife is usually right about these things.
