“ . . . and now, steroid-taking rap artist . . . . . David Letterman!”
ACT 1:
Dave had an accident around the house this weekend. With the weather finally turning cold in the northeast, Dave figured this was a fine time to teach his boy the fine art of ice skating. The salesman suggested Dave should allow his 4-year-old to walk around the house in the ice skates to let him grow accustomed to the feel of blades beneath his feet. I’m not sure but I wouldn’t be surprised the salesman has a floor-refinishing business on the side. Dave took the advice and had Harry walk around the house in ice skates. Unfortunately, this was likely done in the morning since Dave was still in his bare feet. Well, Harry ended up doing an axle across Dave’s toe, nearly slicing it in half. Not what he had in mind.
And now it’s time for the “Unfortunate Phrasing of the Night.”
From Sunday’s “Fox News Sunday,” we see United States Senator from New York Chuck Schumer proclaim, “I think that, you know, the president’s package is about the right size.”
Republican presidential candidate Duncan Hunter announced on Saturday that he is dropping out of the race, prompting his campaign to release this statement of gratitude. Announce: “Now that Congressman Duncan Hunter has dropped his bid for the presidency, his loyal staff would like to thank him for all of his efforts over the past 14 months. Unfortunately, even we don’t know who the hell he is or what he looks like, so instead of using photos of the congressman for this announcement, we’re using old pictures of beloved character actor Ben Gazzara. So long, Congressman Hunter. A grateful nation salutes you.”
BRUCE WILLIS SECRET WORD OF THE NIGHT:
We find Bruce in the green room. Bruce: “Muffin.”
The new film Cloverfield is already a big hit and everyone is trying to jump on the bandwagon. Dave saw a disturbing commercial this morning that illustrated this. Announcer: “A huge monster on the rampage, destroying everything in its path. Are you covered? State Farm offers comprehensive commercial and residential monster insurance, with premiums to fit your budget.
State Farm. The Giant Monster Insurance People.”
GREAT MOMENTS IN PRESIDENTIAL SPEECHES
We see the President hop aboard a standing-riding mower. He becomes bit alarmed when it is turned on. He rides off and waves. Wheeeeeeee!
ACT 2: TOP TEN: Things Overheard During the Giants/Packers Game --- it was the 3rd coldest game played in NFL history. Dave says the temperatures dropped as low as minus 3 degrees and with the wind chill, it felt like 176 below zero . . . or some crazy number below zero. On the blue card, I had typed that with the wind chill it felt like 24 below zero. I did this even though I know Dave hates “wind chill” and “heat index” numbers, but I thought that information was necessary. It did not surprise me at all when he created a crazy “wind chill” temperature. #9. “It’s minus 3 degrees, but it’s a dry cold.” #2. “It’s still warmer than the Ed Sullivan Theater.” It wasn’t funny, but it guarantees a huge response from the audience. “Hey, Dave’s talking about us! Wheeeeeee!”
Here’s something new: WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE CANDIDATES? Biff is in the audience. Audience members express their opinion on the candidates.
Man says, “I’m a big supporter of Hillary Clinton. I believe she’ll be the next President of the Unites States. DAVE: “That’s great. What do you like about her?” Man: “I like her healthcare plan, her environmental record is great, and she and I wear the same pantsuits.” The man stands and we see he is wearing the same pantsuit as Hillary in the split-screen photo.
Man says, “I’m proud to say that I support Senator Chris Dodd all the way.” DAVE: “I’m sorry, you know he dropped out of the race, right?” Man: “What do you mean? DAVE: “Yeah, he announced it a few weeks ago.” Man: “No . . . no . . . that can’t be true! Noooooo! Why, dear God, why?!!!” The man pushes Biff out of the way as he makes his way out the back of the theater. His anguish is obvious as he continues to cry out “No no no no!” As he nears a CBS Page at the back of the theater, the crushed man delivers a right hook to the pretending unsuspecting Page. The Page falls like a ton of bricks, or like Green Bay Packer Charles Woodson trying to tackle Giants running back Brandon Jacobs in the first play of the game. The man then exits through the rear theater door.
Dave exclaims that had to be some punch that guy threw. The Page went down even though the punch missed him by at least a foot!
Man says, “I feel like this country is long overdue for a woman president.” DAVE: “Fair enough, but is that reason enough to vote for Hillary?”
Man says, “Hillary? I meant that chick John Edwards. Look at her . . . she’s gorgeous!
Fanfare; Alan announce: “This piece of sophisticated political satire is brought to you by Little Debbie Snack Cakes! Little Debbie: Providing your family with wholesome goodness and razor-sharp social commentary since 1960! Back to you, Dave!”
ACT 3: SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR
Sarah lives here in New York City and just this weekend had a problem with her plumbing. Did you know it’s nearly impossible to find a plumber during a holiday weekend? I think she couldn’t find a plumber because they were all watching the Giants game. There was no hot water in her apartment . . . and no cable. Most of us could live with hot water but living without cable is another story. Can you imagine having to think and perhaps experience a bit of introspection? That’s what would happen if we all lost our cable for a day or two. Sarah likes to fix things on her own if she can. She sees herself as a great husband. She’s always afraid that if she calls an expert in to fix something, all that will be needed is a simple turn of a knob or something. She doesn’t want to be put into that stereotypical dumb gal category. She once called a cable guy in because her TV wasn’t working. The cable guy came and informed her that the TV wasn’t plugged in. She doesn’t want to go through that humiliation again. This time she got the cable working on her own but still had a problem with the plumbing. After much work, she fixed the plumbing on her own. She was very excited. What was wrong? She says with an air of confidence, “I had to turn the pipe.”
And she recently returned from a vacation in Hawaii with husband Freddie Prinze Jr. They dabbled in the sport of surfing and Sarah has the photos to prove it. I wonder if she took the $100 bike ride?
Sarah Michelle Gellar – now starring in The Air I Breathe. It opens Friday in selected cities.
ACT 5: Announce:“Hey, is your name ‘Mitt’? Then the Late Show wants you to be a part of our ‘Night of a Thousand Mitts.’
Just send a 3X5 card to:
‘Hey, I’m Mitt’
c/o The Late Show
1697 Broadway
New York, New York 10019
Good luck, and get Mitting!”
ACT 6: DAN PATRICK: new senior writer for “Sports Illustrated” magazine and the host of his very own radio program, “The Dan Patrick Show.” Well, that’s good. Imagine if someone not named “Dan Patrick” was the host of “The Dan Patrick Show.” The show is either named after Dan Patrick himself or it is an incredible coincidence.
Before we get started, Dan wants it known that he made an error when getting dressed for our show. He thought he put on dress shoes, but instead he put on golf shoes. Dan Dan Dan . . . . men don’t care. Are the shoes comfortable? End of story.
Dan is now writing for Sports Illustrated and his first column should appear in early February. Now I’m no S.I. expert . . . and I’m not sure of this . . . but could Dan’s first column appear in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue? If so, Dan, I have bad news for you. No one will be reading your column. Like most men, I’ll be checking out the magazine to see what the housewives will be wearing to the town pool this year.
What’s Dan think about the Mitchell Report concerning steroids use in baseball. Dan sizes up the report this way: $20 million was spent on the investigation and it was based on two interviews with a trainer and a clubhouse boy.
Giants/Patriots Super Bowl? Dave feels that no matter by how much the Patriots may be losing at halftime, they will find a way to win it in the end. They are very workman-like. Dan takes Dave’s heady evaluation into consideration and goes with the Giants, 28-24.
ACT 7: RINGO STARR: From his CD, “Liverpool 8,” Ringo Starr performed “Liverpool 8.” I went out and watch Mr. Starr. He’s used to play drums for The Beatles, you know. With Ringo tonight, Dave Stewart.
And that’s the show for Monday January 21, 2008.
My condolences to the FOX network. I know they are weeping now that they can’t use the hours and hours of Favre-hype they prepared for the Super Bowl.
Yesterday’s Giants game. After the first play, we see sideline reporter Pam Oliver giving a report that could have been given a half hour earlier. She said nothing of importance. My wife Denise asked, “What are you screaming at?” I growled back, “Pam ‘givl’ing Oliver! One play in and they’re showing Pam ‘givl’ing Oliver!” Fans have been waiting a week for this game and FOX can’t wait to take us away from the action.
And then in the 2nd quarter, we get another report from Pam Oliver. She says the Giants’ heated benches weren’t working. They were ice cold. Sounds like sabotage. Oooh, finally something from a sideline reporter that catches my interest. Are the Packers behind this? Are the heated benches on the Packers sideline working? I waited the whole game for a follow up. Never got a report.
The Green Bay Packers did absolutely nothing in the 2nd half, and other than the 90-yard TD pass in the 2nd quarter, they hardly did anything the whole game. It killed me that it was 20-20 at the end of the fourth quarter.
Oh, an overtime game in the playoffs. Anybody pay for a box in one of those gambling box pools? There’s usually a 1st quarter winner, a half-time winner, a third quarter winner, and depending on how it is written on the box pool, either a 4th quarter winner of a final score winner. I imagine there were a lot of pools that had Final Score as the big winner and a lot of pools that had 4th Quarter as the big winner. That’s two different winners in the box pools. I’m sure there were lots of arguments in bar rooms across the country as to who gets the dough, in this case the 4th quarter 0-0 or the Final 3 Giants/0 Packers. That’s why in my Late Show Super Bowl Pool, I have a winner for the 4th Quarter and a Final Score winner. 95% of the time it’s one and the same. For an overtime game, in my Pool there are two winners and they are each compensated. By the way, in my Pool we play for “units,” not money.
I’m laughing at the Packers who are saying they had a lot of opportunities to win. Opportunities? They did NOTHING. They had no offense the whole game. They didn’t have any opportunities. It was the Giants who had the opportunities and did little with it. 20-20? It never should have been.
With 2:05 left in the game, Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw ran for a 48-yard touchdown but the run was called back on a holding call . . . a very questionable holding call. And what made it more questionable was where the ref was standing when he called it. He couldn’t have seen it from where he was standing. At least that’s the way I remember it. I’ve been looking for a replay all day but never came across it. I would like to know what the ref saw that made him throw the flag.
Boy oh boy, do I like these Shockey-less Giants!
I walked into a bar Saturday night and sat on the first barstool I saw. The conversation at the bar was the cold frigid conditions the Giants would have to play in on Sunday. More than one guy said that feeling cold is mostly mental. They declared that the Giants would be so pumped up for the game that they wouldn’t feel the cold. Hogwash. “Battling the cold is easy when you are inside,” I told them. Being exposed to the cold can change your thinking and make you weak real quick. The boys at the bar stuck to their “It’s all mental!” dogma. A little while later, two diners get up to leave. The man holds the door open for his wife. Before exiting, the wife sees an acquaintance and they make the small talk. The husband continues to hold the door open. Meanwhile, two guys at the bar who claimed that feeling cold is all mental looked up over their shoulder and bellowed, “Hey! Shut the door! It’s freezing!” I laughed, pointing out that they aren’t really cold; they’re only mentally cold.
I’m listening on the internet to Wisconsin sports talk radio show WDUZ 107.5 The Fan Monday morning. The Green Bay Packer fans are morose, but they are giving the Giants a lot of credit for outplaying their team. They blame their own team, but they are really praising the Giants. Very classy . . . and knowledgeable.
These Giants going to the Super Bowl is similar to when they went in 2000. The fans’ reaction is: “WE’RE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL! WE’RE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL. . . . . we’re going to the Super Bowl??? How’d that happen?”
And how was it waking up Monday morning without having to go to work following the big Giant/Packer playoff game? Not bad, right? Keep that in mind when I present my annual pitch to play the Super Bowl on a Saturday.
