Really? I knew them all aside from the dog in the manger. These seem like references that should be familiar to anyone with a liberal arts education.

The best part was when David Morse put pills in Howie Mandel's jelly beans to make him mop the hallway.

Yeah, mediocre actress
Not terrible, not anything special.

Get out of my mind, Hyden, we have the exact same taste in music.

Interesting take on The Cape and No Ordinary Family
Over at the Paley Center:

"The Bird lives in a ROUND STICK!"

God bless SCTV

Brian Johns
Maybe Mr. Johns could reprise his "Money Talks" series for the channel?

Yeah, he was wasted and belligerent, jabbing his finger into people's chests, screaming, making ridiculous demands…it was so awful it became funny.

He's like 50 or something, though.

Absolute dickhead: Evan fucking Dando. We were doing a broadcast with him and ultimately had him escorted out of the building by security.

I ran into Robyn Hitchcock in a diner in Lawrence, Kansas before a show he was playing later that night. He was extremely friendly and warm, asking for song suggestions for his set ("can't do that one mate, need two guitars") and very funny.

I'm friends with Julie Klausner

The thing to do is pour two grams of cocaine on the LSD Bible. Udo Kier turned me on to it.

Holey moley, wotta dish. That first shot is very inspirational.

Joe Flaherty as the beleagured banker beset by rapacious farmers, unable to adjust to that damn new chair…comedy gold.

Our Borough, awesome. I used to live just a few blocks up from Groton (on Ingram) in Forest Hills.

Huebel just had a bit of a cold affect, all business. Not unpleasant or rude at all, just not very friendly.
