I don't know which of those facts is the more depressing.

De La Soul has been doing a lot of ancillary stuff in the last year or two… you have to figure it's going to lead to something.

Oh, gosh, Howard Waldrop. I probably wasn't going to think of that, but Howard Waldrop.

He strikes me as a guy who may not have a huge following, but has a loyal one… I mean, if you could get just 5,000 people to pay $10 a year on average, there you go. You could get by on less if you had to, a lot less in some parts of the country.

I think there's a difference between people who still do work, just at a frustratingly slow pace, and people who just stopped.

I think there was an expectation that he'd at least get through 8-10 of them, though. At least enough to cover all the major regions, or all the Midwest, or something.

They had nothing on Isaac Asimov.

The impressive thing to me about Costello and Dylan? One songwriter. At least with the Beatles and (to varying extents) the Beach Boys, you had multiple sources for the music to come from.

Ah… I figured someone was going to say it before me, but this is totally what I was going to say.

And he was on CBS for the better part of a decade…

I'd rather live like Clay Davis, thanks.

Comcast is so bad, a merger with Time Warner would qualify as an improvement.

Arsenio's ratings have been a disaster, though. I don't think any network would double down on that.

Do they need a big name? It seems like they need a name that is big for people who watch late-night talk shows.

I stuttered a lot in the audition. Bit of a mess.

It was… very slight. I didn't regret having watched it, but it wasn't a highlight by any means.

You do realize that the line you quote is about how the film focuses more on aesthetics than on providing complete and accurate information, right?

This is the first pilot I auditioned for but didn't get to actually make it to the air. I… wish it luck? It feels weird.

Oh — well, they added a cast member (as in this instance, a recurring guy from previous seasons) and just spliced another measure into the theme song to accommodate him. It's… jarring.

Probably low? I'd love to, of course!
