      From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu              Local Professional Athletes Who Do Low Budget Commercials:        - To tell us who's on tomorrow night.                - What's not up are prices at Tubman's Chevrolet in       Bloomfield, New Jersey. Puns on halfback and Earned Run Averages. He       was an all-American at Duke ...                - Coast to a stop behind an abandoned Taco Bell, which I think       they used in the fine-print crawl last time.                            Lester Holt:        - He's helped with sketches; Late Night ruins news careers.       They put Tom Brokaw in diapers and they got rid of him.                - He started trying to be a rock DJ; started as a country and       western DJ at KRAK radio around 1978. Midnight-to-six, all-night       trucking show. They got a great big convoy trucking through the       night, which isn't quite how it went. They dispute the lyrics.                - One night they did a broadcast from a nightclub, and       introduced all the members of the radio station, getting up to Lester       Holt and, did you see Blazing Saddles when the sheriff comes to town?                       - There must be verbal gaffes. He worked at MSNBC, then went       to filling in at the Today Show. There's lots of good-mornings there.        ``Good morning Matt, good morning Katie, good morning America'' ...       luckily it was before YouTube and you could screw up and not have it       be watched forever. Conan acts like a krunk constantly so there's       nothing to stick out and trusts this will keep him off YouTube.                + "Conan O'Brien" comes up with 1,720 hits on YouTube. Don't       tell NBC Master Command.                - While talking to Senator Gore he accidentally said ``Senator       Quayle'', and couldn't figure out why Holt was getting corrected.       Conan goes into android Gore impersonation.                - He's got a bass guitar. He likes jazz; sometimes plays       elsewhere. He cut a CD with a band of TV celebrities.                - What if he were the newsman who plays cool bass doing the       news? He gives an example with Mike Merritt doing a cool bass.                      Loudon Wainwright III:        - Yup, the guy from M*A*S*H. With ``Strange Weirdos'' as the       new album, songs written for or inspired by Knocked Up. ``Daughter'',       I expect. I shouldn't have to sell you on Loudon Wainwright.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
