Tue 4/2 Show Peak

gauntlet. I defy the other 2/3's of the "Bad Comic Trifecta" to suck to
that extent.
Easy choice for tonight's show peak......
"Oklahoma!"
Dave & Rupert's version, that is, brilliantly done!
A couple of bonus freeze frames tonight....

When it peaks, it's all downhill from there... I don't know what that
means.
Anyway, that girl from Hawaii was absolutely horrible. I wanted to throw
something at my TV, but I was too busy composing letters to Tony Kornheiser.
She whined, she moaned... I was her first husband...
Totally unbearable. Rupert has to to a better job at finding interesting
people to deal with, because his choices lately have been severely lacking.
Get someone who WANTS to participate, not someone who bickers and complains
DURING THE BIT!

Anyone else get the state sponsored commercial for
Oklahoma in the break after the song? Nice Marketing.

Jimmie J.J. Walker walked out tonight and promptly threw down the
gauntlet. I defy the other 2/3's of the "Bad Comic Trifecta" to suck to
that extent.
I agree, and I thought the guy Friday night was bad. George Miller
continues to be the only one of Dave's old pals that I think is amusing.
Nice pics by the way. How lucky is Rupert to get close to the hi-ho
babes every week?

And yet another relatively cute girl-off-the-street (granted she didn't have
much of a personality) suffers instantly from the Late Show Babe Phenomenon.
Immediately she looks short & *plain* when they come in next to her. :(

So loose, they call him "Ex-Lax Man." I was thinking more along the lines of
"Syrup of Ipecac Man," because he made me want to vomit.
Like rancid Spam sandwiched between two fresh slices of homemade bread, I
thought that Walker's appearance was salvaged by Tim Robbins and the "Oklahoma"
cast.
Did anyone catch the very end of the Robbins segment, where he mentioned
something like, "April 12th, happy birthday" to Dave?
And, of course, show tunes. I love the show tunes.

Maybe the contestants are nervous about being on TV. 99pct of the
time it seems that Rupert picks someone who has no idea of what is
going on. They certainly dont seem to be fans of the show. I like the
term Late Show Babe Phenomenon.

If they weren't fans of the show, they wouldn't be hanging outside the Hello
Deli, hoping to be selected by Rupert.

And gawkers at a murder scene are hoping to be picked up as a suspect?

The Hello Deli isn't exactly the epicenter of NYC. By 5:30 PM, Rupert has
closed his shop and 53rd St. is practically deserted.
Except for fans of the show who hang out.

I think there are far fewer "fans of the show" than we may think. I've
spent enough time loitering on 53rd street to know that a many of those
folks just saw the pretty lights and commotion and decided to be looky-
loos.

That is pretty much my point. I have been down to the show enough times
to know that many people tried to get tickets who could not answer the
simple trivia questions, they just want to see a TV taping.
The girl Rupert picked last night wasnt exactly jumping for joy.

There are people all over NYC, not just at the epicenter, wherever that is.

In other words, it's not deserted. And twenty or thirty feet away from Rupert's
is a quaint little street called Broadway. Plenty of foot traffic to be
attracted by a TV camera and a gathering crowd.
>Except for fans of the show who hang out.
I was outside of Rupert's on a Tuesday one time and here's my experience. My
companion (for the purposes of this story, I'll call her "Marilyn") and I were
on the way back to our hotel at around 5:30 when we saw cables going into
Rupert's, so we decided to hang out to see what game they'd be playing. We were
the first ones to begin loitering. A couple others may have joined us in the
next few minutes, but when the camera and crew showed up, other passersby
stopped to see what was happening. Most of them asking, "What's going on?" When
told, some stayed, some didn't. So not all onlookers are there for the purpose
of being selected by Rupert. They're just curious.

No; let's go with what I wrote: it's practically deserted.

Not necessarily. People are usually on the move, and not all _that_ distracted
by a TV camera on a side street here in NYC. There are TV and movie production
sites popping all over the city, and folks here tend to get somewhat blase with
it after the first 70 years. A month or so ago "The Sopranos" was shooting six
short blocks from me -- and all of the pedestrians just kept on walking past,
not blinking an eye at the activity. A couple of years ago Shirley MacLaine and
Valerie Harper were shooting a scene across the street from my apartment; a
little distraction due to limited walking, but there was no crowd. And I
remember Bill Cosby standing on the corner of Broadway and 110th, waiting for
film to roll; I went up to him and said hello, then went on my way, as did
everyone else who recognized him.
The point is -- a tv camera doesn't provide the sort of instant attraction here
that is suggested.

You're fans of the show, right?

I'll backtrack for the sake of politneness and honesty - not every creature who
wanders nearby are fans of the show. But my experience suggests to me that the
vast majority of folks who linger, who hang out, who wait, who want to get on
the tv, are indeed, fans of the LS.

Since I'm too stupid to stay out of this, I just want to add my 2 cents.
Speaking as a fellow ("somewhat blase") New Yorker, I think, Donz, there is a
difference between the general reaction of folks in a neighborhood such as
yours (and mine) and in the tourist-infested midtown area where the Ed is
located. Lots of out-of-towners going to Broadway shows, the Museum of Modern
Art, etc., etc. I'd say there is a higher likelihood for lookyloos just
excited to see cameras, lights, crowds, etc. than in the residential areas.

And if you look closely at the scene he shot just after that encounter, you
can see floss hanging out of his pocket.

Just because Jerry Seinfeld is your next-door neighbor and the two of you
get drunk together on Wednesday nights, don't assume that other New Yorkers
are as nonchalant.
