Times are changing, Betty..

Wasn't his son the other Alpha Beta dude? Not Ted McGinley or Ogre but that other guy?

'I like the way (you) think…'

That one works in thirds to me although that's the way I ended up consuming it as I'd bought the first volume as a standalone CD in the autumn of 1999 & then the other two shortly thereafter as I was quite impressed (had bought the first after hearing 'I Think I Need A New Heart' on college radio). All three volumes…

David Letterman was the most like JC in that respect in & around his prime, methinks. It was tinged with a little more weirdness than Carson obviously though.

'How did you know I was an American?'

The breaking character thing has to a running gag of sorts at this point, right? A nearly 20 year, tedious as fuck gag…

Good tune & right from the end of Callahan's 'golden era' imo. That whole EP was great.

WIld Love (LP) is fantastic. That was my introduction to Callahan as a teen & it is filled with so many spare, memorable tracks. The opener you mentioned & Goldfish Bowl as the closer are standout bookends imo.

Same. I sort of feel as though that final verse is independent of anything that came before it.

I'm near certain that he went straight from SWC to The Daily Show but I've been wrong before. I had a similar excited reaction to the commenter down thread when I saw Jon Stewart first introduce him.

I'll bet he could sum up his thoughts in a 75 plus word sentence or three as well.

Oof, should've scrolled further. Nicely done.

'Oh boy…'

I believe that she & Bill Callahan used to bjork, as it were.

You're missing a pretty big entry on Stephen Colbert's resume though after the cancellation of this & before he joined the Daily Show. I'd say his work on SWC was almost the foundation of his subsequent success in a lot of ways. Very funny dude.

Same. It almost became a punch line of sorts but it always struck the right notes for me (being a huge Get a Life fan a couple years prior didn't hurt probably).

Man oh man, I hate those fancy lads…

Yes, most definitely.

That's pretty much all I recall about that movie.
