Somewhere, comedian John Pinette is laughing.  I can almost hear the manager of the buffet yelling to the customer, “You go now!”

That’s a bone of contention on a couple of Facebook SCTV fan pages I subscribe to. One rumor is that Jimmy Kimmel of all people, didn’t care for how his part in it turned out, as moderator. If true, it’s just another reason to hate Jimmy Kimmel.

From what I”ve read, the Scorsese/Sinatra biopic is off, due to the fact that Scorsese and the Sinatra family couldn’t agree on the subject matter. And the Dean Martin biopic that Scorsese was supposed to do that was based on Nick Tosches’ book, “Dino,” fell through for similar reasons. At least I have his Ramones…

I remember reading an interview with PTA in which Warren Beatty took him to dinner, after the success of “Boogie Nights,” and as a partial apology for turning down the role of Jack Horner. The restaurant was in Beverly Hills, and was a “see and be seen” kind of place. One of their fellow diners was Francis Ford…

This is an old Dennis Miller joke come to life. All that’s missing is the Craftmatic adjustable bed.

Like Al Bundy, the movie I’d pay to see is “Mertz’s World,” with William Frawley.  

The only other person that I’d accept in the role of William Frawley is Richard Jenkins. After all, it’s not a feature film unless either Simmons or Jenkins is in it.

Actually, I can imagine Charlie getting all the vaccines, because in the quarantine episode, he mentioned that his mother had him vaccinated for everything, and he was going to be just fine.

They look a lot like the penis shaped gummies that Daniel Tosh used in a bit about a British woman who was a championship eater. According to Tosh, a lot of companies would send stuff to the show, unsolicited. Among the things they recieved were a pallet of penis gummies.

And speaking of Jerry Lewis, I read an old interview with Don Rickles recently, in which he said the nicest, kindest, and most supportive person in show business he ever met was Jack Benny, who pretty much liked every person he ever met, except for one.  Jerry Lewis.  As Rickles put it, “If Jack Benny didn’t like you,…

A friend and I were watching this last night, and I commented that after 43 years, it was time for the Rolling Stones to make a return appearance.

Like Al Bundy, I would be more interested to see a biopic of William Frawley’s character, or as Al put it, “They need to get rid of that loud mouthed redhead, the illegal bandleader, and the frumpy neighbor and make a show all about Fred Mertz, and call it “Mertz’s World!”

As Vance’s comment was made after Frawley’s death in 1966, I don’t think that will make the cut in this film.

I remember seeing a bonehead allowing himself to be shot with a Colt .45 while wearing a bulletproof vest in a clip on Tosh.O. While the bullet didn’t pierce the vest, it knocked the wind out of said bonehead, and managed to cause a bullet shaped knick in his chest, and caused him to bleed.

As that allegedly happened in 1966, when Frawley died, I don’t think that will come up in this movie.

And the title of Madonna’s biopic? “Box Office Poison.”

I wished they had used this joke in the tribute to Norm Macdonald, as it is one of my favorites. “The state of Michigan has now made it legal for the blind to go deer hunting. The main backers of the law? The deer.”

Norm had a double header that day, as he’d been on Howard Stern’s show before his appearance later in the day with Letterman, and like Dave, Stern took apart Ohlmeyer, Lorne Michaels, and NBC’s top executives like you would disassemble a cheap Ikea desk, with Norm just saying, “But he’s a good man, Howard!” (And…

One of my favorite appearances Norm made with Letterman was when Dave told Norm one of the reasons that he liked him so much, is that he was a fan of George Miller, Dave’s long time friend and fellow comedian.  Of course, the segement wound up turning into Norm and Dave swapping their favorite George Miller jokes.  It…

Progresso also makes a Manhattan Style Clam Chowder, and it’s easy to find, compared to the Campbell’s version. In my area, Kroger usually has a 99 cents a can on either Campbell’s Chunky or Progresso soups sale in the Fall and Winter, if you buy 10 cans. That when I fill my cart, half with both types of Clam Chowder,…
