When inferior comedians get one-upped by superior ones
Justin Pate
Bittman as the guest, Hope asked Bittman: Have you ever been to China?
Bittman: No, but I love their food! Heh Heh Heh
Hope: Yeah, well they order in over there. *audience claps loudly*
A similar thing happened on Jay Leno last night. Bill Maher was the guest
and he mentioned he owned a gun. He then preceded to say that he wanted all
gun owners to admit they're selfish and have small penises. Then Leno
reminded him: "Did you just say you owned a gun?" The audience howled and
Maher was clearly shaken and embarrassed. Inferior comedians getting owned
by better ones.....gotta love it.

Hi Justin,
That is pretty funny. Bill Maher is pretty bright, so I'm surprised
he walk unintentionally into that one.
However, I have to take issue with your opinion that Jay Leno is a
better comedian. Jay Leno is a tired old hack who will hopefully hang-
up his gloves soon. Maybe he'll take up comedy in his retirement.
To say his humor is prosaic is an gross understatement. He sold out
a long time ago . . . About the time he started trying to get the
Tonight Show gig. Strictly lowest common denominator stuff now. Even
Letterman is funnier.
But I do remember a time in the early to mid-80s when Leno was
actually a comedian with a bit of b@lls. Yes, kids there was a funny
Leno - and oddly enough I usually watched him on Late Night with David
Letterman. You can find some of those gems on YouTube - I think you
know about YouTube . . .
Disagreeably,
Trev
;)

How's the weather up there? Down here it's pretty cool in the lowly common.

Just ribbing you a bit.
Although that is pretty much my opinion of JL.
Well, hope yr weather is nice if that is what we are talking about
(unless I missed something - it's late now.)
Watch out for those twisters.
Sincerely,

I was joking. But don't eat the yellow snow.

I was joking, considering you accused Leno of pandering to the lowest common
denominator. I was joking that I am a member of the LCD. Though you might
think that assertion is true anyway.

There's not a bad one here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdAjw9lHe8Y
Includes "What's my beef?". Catches him at the real sell out bit, as it's
when he first started plugging Doritos. Though to give him credit: he did
work pretty hard back then. One year in the '80s he had the 2nd most
frequent flyer points in the US. (First went to his luggage - haha).

Ah, but is the first part of that on there? I used to have it on tape -
that Kimba bit was the funniest.
Jay explaining why the rest of the world hates us [Rich West Nations].
. . . Can you imagine showing Mr. Potato Head to some Child from Biafra?
-Here Kimba, here is Mr. Potato Head.
-Ohhh Kimba Eat potato!
-No, No, Kimba you don't want to eat the potato . . . see you put this
little hat on it.
-Ohhh Kimba Eat hat!
-No, No Kimba you don't want to eat the hat . . .
Classic.
Dave kept bugging Leno to do (with the accent) the 'Ohhh Kimba' bit.

Nobody who has dreams about Joe Flaherty being the new keyboard player
for Deep Purple, and then reports that dream to the work vis the
intenet, could be classified as a member of the LCD. I not sure what
group you could be assinged to.
I don't know what they call it down at Elgin AFB but you may be
'unclassifialbe.'
quizzically,

Felicity
better comedian than Bill Maher, and for exactly the same reason
Kitschy said: Leno is a mediocre hack. :-)
