Hey, how's it goin'? Here we go ...

*DESK CHAT HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT*
I'm going to say that the 'Desk Chat Highlight of the Night' was ...
cameraman Dave Dorsett walking off the set. (He's putting on his jacket.
He's getting ready to leave. What's the problem? Oh, he's probably going
home because he forgot to change his clock. Is that it? Dave D.: "No,
I'm just tired of listening to this bullshit." He's outta here.)

There was a bunch of other stuff as well, including: a phone call from
New York Governor Eliot Spitzer (in which he said he looks forward to
continuing to 'whore it up' in Albany); Dave letting us know that over
the weekend he sent in his $10 and he is now a 'super delegate'; a
'Channel 11 Weather Update' (in which the weatherman-reporter says "the
flakes have begun to stick, a little bit, on the asshole, uh,
*asphalt*"); a couple of clips; and an installment of 'Great Moments in
Presidential Speeches.'

After the break, we had a TTL: 'Eliot Spitzer Excuses.' A little later,
we had a '*Late Show* Prize Giveaway.' And something new last night: a
bumper promo going into the first commercial break. (It promoted the
upcoming *segment*.)

*JIM CARREY*
He had a lot of 'stuff' going on last night. He's almost exhausting
sometimes. Not as exhausting as Robin Williams, but kind of exhausting
nonetheless. At least he puts forth an energetic effort to entertain.
The film is "Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who."

*PAULA ABDUL*
I got nothin'.

*MISCELLANEOUS MEANDERING*
Good morning. Over the course of the past 19 minutes, I tried to write a
synopsis that would recount last night's 'Late Show' in such a way as to
create an opportunity for interesting discussion. As always, I sought to
bring a real *perspective* to things, and that will continue. However,
right now I want to take a moment to briefly address the obvious: I have
failed. Yes, I fully recognize that the half-assed quality of this
synopsis violates the commitment I made both to you and to myself. For
that, I apologize to you, whom I promised better.

Here's the thing. I don't believe this is about *me* so much as it is
about *ideas*. Clearly, this synopsis has been a disappointment.
Furthermore, I've failed to live up to the standard I expect of myself.
I must now dedicate some time to regain your trust.

Anyway, it's just a synopsis. It's not like I've done something
irresponsibly careless. It's not like I've engaged in inexplicably
reckless behavior -- *selfish* behavior that I knew, or should have
known, would publicly humiliate my family were it to ever come to light.
I mean, I'm not an idiot.

That is all. I will not be taking questions. I will report back to you
in short order.

Thank you very much.

Later ...

Brady, these comments are obviously symptoms of diet mountain dew
withdrawl. Good luck you can do it!

I may need help, Kath. Will you help me? Or at least hold me?

Thanks in advance!

I'm just gonna see how many more times I can say 'thanks in advance' in
this thread.

Of course I'll hold you like a little trembly, semi-irrational, sugar-
confused bi-glycemic, bunny!

Kath - and give you a soft tickle on your furry ear.

Helen, if you're up this late, why aren't you watching the show? Too
personal? And yes, the haircut looks better than it has in a long
time. From the back, however, he looks a bit like a monk.

Thank you. I appreciate that.

That's all I need: to be held, and to be tickled behind the ear.

(I'd probably fall asleep!)

Now that's funny.

I wonder if he immediately stepped down, or whether the station was in
limbo for a few days while he decided his future.

God, that made me laugh. Is it wrong to laugh at that? I laughed.

Also, I wish my name were *Chip Maxham*.

Whatever happened to Buck and Maurice, Chip? (Do you have what they
now call "DID?"--Dissociative Identity Disorder?) It used to be called
MPD. IE: "The Three Faces of Eve," "Sybil," etc. Were you ever
abused....do you ever wish you were someone else....do you have times
you can't account for? If so, you may need VITA-MEATA-VEGAMIN. It's so
tasty, too. Tastes just like Old Turkey, drunk straight from the
bottle at 12:06 on March 14. ;) Or is it WILD Turkey? I'm not a
drinker. Forgive me. I must be thinking of Old Turkey Buzzard. Or was
it really POM, the latest fad in juice drinks?

Isn't Dave a marvelous actor? I almost believed that he took real
drinks from the bottle. He oughtta get an Emmy for that. He does great
work, that Einstein. Maybe he can explain Brownian motion or the
photoelectric effect. Btw, I'd like to be named Dale. Then we could be
called Chip 'n' Dale, Brady. And that YouTube video was so funny that
I think it was deliberate...who would run that visual line, CHILD
MOLESTER for so long over Chip Maxham's weather report instead of his
name? Somebody in the control room was having some fun. And the
initials are the same...CM. I think it was deliberate.

Dave is so smart, he knew which 12 a.m. to pick for the toast to
Einstein. I was drinking PromiseActiv at the time and that was my
toast. Cheers. Happy Birthday, Albertl. (His mother's nickname for
him.)

Do I ever wish I were someone else? You mean besides Donz? No.

Do I have times that I can't account for? No.

Do I have Dissociative Identity Disorder? No.

I may have a bit of a non-religious scrupulosity complex.

Am I gonna keep interviewing myself? Um, yes!

That made me chuckle out loud -- COL.

(By the way, I'm trying to popularize 'COL.' As opposed to *LOL*.)
