But "When Things Were Rotten" was funny as hell, at least to 14 year old me, it was. I'm surprised that it never found a second life, especially on one of the "retro" cable channels. "Cop Rock" stank on ice.

Right after "Hooperman", "The "Slap" Maxwell Story" ,and the complete "Buffalo Bill." With the Ray Charles "Hit The Road" sequence totally restored.

Bing could be ahead of the curve at times. I remember reading where he encouraged his son Gary to smoke marijuana, rather than drink, as he believed that weed wasn't as hard on the body as booze. And in another interview I read, Bing was very complimentary towards such songwriters as Harry Nilsson, John Lennon, and…

I always thought that Johnny Carson and David Letterman were only as good as the person they were interviewing. If that person was interesting and engaging, Johnny and Dave lit up like Christmas trees. If the guest sucked, as time went on, both guys would phone it in.

I remember reading a review of the Richard Zoglin biography of Bob Hope last year, in which the reviewer stated that in his opinion that Hope had the longest career decline in the history of show business, from around 1963 until his death, almost 40 years later.

In the Richard Zoglin biography of Bob Hope, one of his writers in the final years admitted that they had trouble writing material for Bob, until they came up with the idea of writing the material as if Dave Thomas was doing the material, doing his Bob Hope impression. Amazingly, it worked.

The funny thing is that Hope respected his co-star, Willie Best in that movie, and said more than once that Best was the funniest co-star he'd ever worked with.

I was reading a bit about the Road To The Fountain Of Youth the other day on a FB group. Crosby had read the first draft of the screenplay for it and he said it needed "More Monty Python stuff" in it. Who knew that Bing was a fan of the Knights That Say Ni?

I always wished that they had done more books in the series, or that someone had continued them. I still remember their quest to see the Shirley Temple/Ronald Reagan opus, "That Hagen Girl." They wound up having to fly to Wisconsin to screen a print of it, which was held by the University Of Wisconsin's Film…

As much as I love Bob, the man simply cannot act. I've always held the opinion that he is so articulate that it renders him inarticulate.

This was before he became a right wing hack, I believe it was the "Golden Turkey Awards" book that Dylan was mentioned in. I'm pretty sure that Sonny Bono won the category, for playing an Italian soldier in a World War II themed film, in which he used what was described as the world's worst Italian accent.

I remember Bob's performance being panned in one of the Medved's books under "Worst Acting By A Singer In A Feature Film." One reviewer described Dylan's facial expressions as "Painful facial tics." To which the Medveds replied, "What did they expect, obscene hand gestures?"

All of Bob Dylan's non documentary or non concert films are bad, and he should feel bad!

To paraphrase Chris Griffin, "How does Todd Solondz keep getting work?"

Why is this is a big deal? Most comedians hosting a gig like this write and rewrite their monologues right up to the minute before the show begins. I'm pretty sure Rock had planned to deal with the "#OscarsSoWhite" controversy.

I kind of wish Coppola had shot the scene as it was depicted in the book. Two guys walked into the pizza shop Fabrizio was running, somewhere in upstate New York. After ordering a slice of pizza, one of the guys said, "I hear you have a bird tattoo on your chest." Fabrizio said, "No, I don't." The guy grabbed…

I saw them open for Ian Hunter a few years ago, and they were one of the best opening acts I've ever seen.

3 hours? Is Tarantino directing this?

And they had Michael McKean and Chris Elliott, and they had no idea what to do with them either.

I could also see either Daniel Tosh or Anthony Jeselnik playing a riff on a character based on Letterman, as both of their stand up acts remind me a lot of Dave's back in the day, except their theirs are more blue and darker.
