Original subtitles

Arthur: Let's go now. We don't want to keep

our friends from the network waiting.

Larry: We don't? No, we don't.

Well, I do. I want to keep 'em waiting.

No, you're going to be a good boy

and listen to all the suggestions about

who they'd like to see host

this new 12:30 talk show that follows us.

Fine. How long do I have to pretend to listen.

Oh, please, Larry.

Don't piss all over their suggestions.

I am, I'm gonna piss all over 'em.

Try to show a little restraint.

And then when they feel, as network executives,

that they've done their jobs,

you will tell them who the host is really going to be.

Let me ask you something.

Do you think when Johnny Carson... Yeah?

picked David Letterman to go after him at 12:30,

he went through this shit?

Hell, no. Nobody fucked with Johnny.

Exactly.

Before we get started here, I just want to tell you

that we're all really looking forward to seeing you

at the American Television Awards tomorrow night.

Yeah. (chuckling) That's just what America needs,

another fucking award show.

Political bullshit.

You kiss somebody's ass

and they send your name to the engravers.

Yeah, I prefer just to do the work

and let the work speak for itself,

not get caught up in stuff.

Yeah, that's right, but Larry, listen,

I-I understand you have a very good,

uh, very good shot at it this year.

Really? Yeah.

Will they send a limo?

Town car.

Oh, good.

Much less gaudy.

Could we get down to the business at hand here?

Yeah, uh, Larry, Arthur,

the 12:30 slot is wide open.

Larry: Mm-hmm. Now, our only competition

so far is, uh, Conan O'Brien.

Does anyone know who

they're putting on after Letterman?

No, they're keeping that under real tight wraps.

The important thing is who's going on

after Mr. Larry Sanders?

We have put together a list

of possible host candidates

that we're sure you're gonna be very, very excited about.

Larry: Well, good, good. I'm all ears.

Well, now, the affiliates

have already approved all of these.

Okay, first up, uh, Bob Saget.

Bob Saget, good name. Hey!

Excellent name, gee.

But, he's already doing a couple of shows.

Wouldn't this be too much for him?

Bob is a mule.

Well, how about Dave Coulier?

Who? (clears throat)

Dave Coulier.

You're just raiding the cast

of "Full House," huh?

You should check into the Olsen twins.

I hear once their parents

go to sleep, they're wild.

Ha! Really? Well, I'll check,

see if they're interested. Okay.

Melanie, if I may... Oh, please. Please do.

Okay, as executive producer of this show,

and a talk show host himself,

I think I know what it takes

to have a successful talk show.

I have a couple of ideas, uh...

You-- you have somebody in mind?

Yeah, mm-hmm.

Who? (Larry sighing)

Bobcat Goldthwait.

Larry: What's wrong? Uh...

The affiliates have already rejected that name, Larry.

Is he the guy that makes the animal noises?

Well, I knew you were gonna say that right off the bat,

but that's just one of his colors.

He actually doesn't do that voice all the time.

He's a very funny guy.

Yeah, yeah, Larry, you know, uh...

there's a lot of funny out there,

and we're just-- we're looking

for the right kind of funny.

You know, Dennis, I think the kind of funny that...

(clears throat) Uh, Artie?

Larry feels very strongly about this,

and I agree with him. Now, let's all

get together and close ranks behind Larry.

Let's take a good look at "Tomcat."

Bobcat. Whatever.

The affiliates are never gonna go for this.

Well, look, I have a great relationship

with the affiliates.

Let me sell it to 'em.

You think Mr. Goldthwait would be willing

to do some sort of presentation?

I don't see why not.

I mean, if they don't approve it, Larry,

it can't fly. It's that simple.

Sure, no, I understand that.

But Bob is very gung-ho about this.

I'm sure he would be happy to.

He's a hungry performer. Yeah.

That's what you want. That's what we want.

Okay, then, let's keep a tight lid on this.

Hey, Kevin.

Larry. Hey, man.

Good to see ya, good to see ya. How are you?

What are you doing here?

Oh, just passing through town. Yeah?

Doing my film. Yeah. Oh.

What film? You doing "Coneheads"?

Hans-- No, "Hans and Franz."

Oh, well, that'll be good too.

Yeah. "Hans and Franz."

Are you Hans or Franz?

Franz... Hans.

Franz, no, Franz. Carvey's-- Carvey's Hans.

Franz is the funny one. Yeah.

(laughter)

So, anyway, uh... Hey, listen, I heard

that you're looking at Saget and Coulier

to do the 12:30 slot.

Where'd you hear that? Carvey.

Carvey should get a fuckin' hobby.

Let me just tell you, that "Hans and Franz" thing,

that's just a character idea.

Normally what I do best is talking to people,

interacting, you know. I mean, that's a big part

of my act, talking to people.

You listening to me? I mean, it's what I do.

Yeah, no, you're talking about interacting with people, right?

Right, it's like what we're doing right now.

I'm talking, you're-- you know. Look, I'm a big fan.

You know I love you, but, uh... Right.

the network wants Bobcat Goldthwait

(laughing) for the 12:30 slot.

Bobcat? Uh-huh.

That's funny. Was Gallagher tied up or something?

(laughter)

I think Bobcat will be good.

(elevator dings)

Bobcat Gold-- you are serious. Mm-hmm, yeah.

But, listen, let's, uh...

let's get together and talk soon.

Really? Yeah.

About the late night slot?

Hey, Artie...

Hey, hey, hey, what the fuck is going on?

I thought we were-- What is this?

"Sanders Tabs Saget For 12:30 Gab Comedy Fest"?

I thought we were keeping a tight lid on this?

Well, we did. They didn't.

It's the front page.

I don't need this kind of pressure, Artie.

All right, I'm sure this is the end of it, Larry.

Gilbert Gottfried called, Bob Saget called,

Allan Havey called-- several times.

Louie Anderson, Steven Wright,

Robert Klein, and Sinbad.

Goddamn hyenas. I'll take care of these.

What, was David Brenner out of the country?

Oh... David Brenner sent brownies.

What does the American Television Award look like?

Do you know? Well, it's probably

a statue of a guy with his head

halfway up another guy's ass.

I already have a fountain like that.

Yeah.

You know, I would like-- also like the--

This is it, gentlemen. This is fucking it!

The seeds of disrespect for Hank Kingsley

that have been sown so liberally around this office

have finally come to bloom.

Does the left one look longer than the right one? Absolutely, Vito.

Artie: Got it? Can we, uh...

Can we, uh...

Oh. Bring it up about a quarter--

Please? I'll ask you--

Excuse us for a second. Come back... in a second.

Thanks, Vito. Don't forget...

Hank: Thank you, Vito. to take care of him after.

Yeah, well sure, when he gets back.

Look at this. What the hell is that?

Is that that horse shit

fan club newsletter of yours? Yes.

How many times I have to tell you

about using office supplies and equipment

to put out this goddamn thing?

Please, Arthur, I'm trying to find

a local printer who can handle the volume.

Well, that's what you told me six months ago.

For the love of God,

I cannot talk about this now, Arthur.

I just-- I just can't!

What? "Hank's Thoughts"?

Yes-- no.

"Hank's Memories"? Yes.

"I remember those winter days

"when I'd return home from my paper route,

"my toes and fingers dead from the cold.

"How I wanted to quit that job,

"but whenever I mentioned it to Mom,

"she always said the same thing...

"'Hank, you must always remember,

penis, vagina.'" Ooh.

"Penis, vagina. Penis, vagina."

What the hell is this, Hank?

God, it is unbelievable, isn't it?

Yeah, I mean...

This is the same thing my mom used to say to me.

(laughter)

What are the odds of that?

That's not-- that's not funny, Larry,

because at this very moment our nation's postal service

is carrying over 4,000 of these

to homes all over America.

4,000 on our Xerox?

Paper doesn't grow on trees you know, Mister.

Why didn't you proof this, Hank?

Well, that is, uh, Darlene's job.

Isn't that right, Darlene?

I'm sorry, Hank.

I want the person who did this.

I want a head on my plate by the end of this business day,

because some scumbag,

some useless piece of humanity

is responsible for this. It's awful.

So, it wasn't you, Lar?

You... No, I didn't.

Hank, we've got bigger fish to fry.

Oh, well... excuse me.

(laughing) Oh, God.

Enjoying your handiwork? That's kind of a crude way

to expand your readership, isn't it Hank?

Shut your mouth, you little shit. Hey!

Well, I guess we know which side of the family

you get that mouth from.

You listen to me--

Just control yourself, Hank.

Okay, Phil, I appreciate a good "penis, vagina" joke

as much as the next man, but, uh... (clicks tongue)

You think I did this?

It screams you.

It screams "penis, vagina" more than anything.

Come on, Phil.

I didn't do this.

I swear to you, Hank.

I admire the idea, but the execution is sophomoric.

I mean, if I were gonna do something like that,

I would have said like, uh...

you come home from a hard day at the paper route

and your mom's standing there,

and she has a very thin dressing gown on,

and it slips open and all-- Phil!

Easy. He didn't do it. Let it go.

Where's Jerry? Listen, you just simmer down.

Now, you go handle this with Jerry yourself.

I'm talking to affiliates, goddammit.

Steven Wright: Larry, I know

I don't have to tell you this,

but I'm a people person. Right.

I like people.

I like to ask people questions,

and I like to have other people watch

when I'm doing that.

(clears throat) Look, Steven,

the network is leaning towards Bobcat Goldthwait.

It's-- I think you'd be great,

but there's nothing I can do.

My hands are over a barrel on this one.

Goldthwait? Yes.

Bobcat Goldthwait.

He-- that guy has such a weird energy.

Jerry.

Hey, Hank, how's it going?

How's it going? Yeah.

How's it going? Yeah.

Well, I read my fan club newsletter this morning,

so how do you think it's going?

I don't know.

Hey, can you hang out for a second?

Oh, sure. I can hang out.

Long enough to say, "penis, vagina."

(chuckles) Penis, vagina!

Penis, vagina!

Uh, Hank? Penis, vagina!

Penis, vagina! Penis, vagina!

Doesn't sound so clever when it gets thrown

right back in your face, does it, Mr. Penis Vagina?

Uh, Hank, this is my mom, Miss Shirley Capen.

Uh, this is Hank Kingsley.

How do you do? How do you do?

Wow, what a pleasure it is to meet the mother of a...

very talented young man.

Uh, you in town to, uh...

uh, visit Jerry?

No, I'm here with my church group

for a Bible study conference.

(softly) Okay, okay.

I gotta run, uh...

'cause I have some toast in the toasterette.

Not the toasterette, the kit-- the kitchenette.

And, um... a pleasure.

Hey, so listen, things have been going great for you.

You've got the TV series coming up with Rickles.

With Rickles, yeah, yeah. That is great.

Yeah. And you're also in the movie

"Robin Hood: Men in Tights."

Yeah, Mel Brooks is filming.

So you must be happy?

Yeah, well, you know, I want to--

you know, 'cause that's not my whole life.

I want-- I'd like to have a wife,

you know, eventually, you know? Yeah. Yeah, sure.

I'll be like 111 when I have a kid in little league,

you know, and, uh... (audience laughter)

Plus, like, I can't relax with, uh...

I don't know about you, but, uh...

well, forget him.

But, you know, I can't-- I go on a date,

I mean, I even-- on a blind date,

I insist we go to like, you know,

counseling on the way. (audience laughter)

You know what I mean?

So, I don't know if it's ever gonna happen for me.

Yeah, we'll talk about it later.

We'll come right back.

Stay tuned. Very funny.

(cheering and applause)

Okay, we'll be right back.

Man: Clear!

Hey, are we-- we doing okay?

Yeah, did I get all the plugs in?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Was I-- was I all right?

Yeah, good, fine. Great.

So, it's been a while. Yeah.

What's new with you? Huh?

Give me a break.

What? Come on.

Bob Goldthwait's doing the 12:30 show, okay?

Look, you're good and everything like that.

I think you're really talented,

but my hands are tied on this one.

He's doing it. The position's filled.

What, you think that I--

that I want that slot?

Duh.

Oh, Larry, come on, what are you, crazy?

I mean, you're joking, right?

Come on, I got-- I got-- I got a series.

I-I'm doing movies.

And besides, you know,

who in their right mind wants to do a talk show

five nights a week? You.

Do you really mean--

What are you doing, man. What are you-- what?

What am I doing? What are you doing?

This-- God, this 12:30 thing is really--

God, it's really making you into like a different guy.

What is going on with you?

I mean, what do I mean? Come--

How long have I known you,

like 15 years? Mm-hmm.

Well, you're finally-- you're changing.

You're not even yourself any--

You know, I ran into Steven Wright and--

and Kevin Nealon, and-- and they told me about this,

but I didn't want to believe this.

Won't you excuse me?

Hey, Hank. How you been?

I haven't seen you in a while.

Awful.

Someone's been tampering with "Hank's Memories."

Wow. Sorry.

Sid.

Sid, the cue card guy.

Huh?

I, uh... I cut him off in the parking lot

last year during the holiday season.

That's my man.

But, what to do? Yeah.

You know, these awards tonight,

you really think we have a chance of winning?

Yes, I do. Yeah?

You know, me too.

I would like to accept this very gracious recognition.

Thank you very much.

(applause, band playing)

Hey, are you-- can I use this?

Larry, how you doing? Oh, hey, Dave.

Hey, congratulations on that. Thank you very much.

Good to see you. Nice to see you.

How you doing? Doing good.

Boy, you lost a lot of weight.

Yeah, 80 pounds. I was up around 280.

I'm down to about 200 now.

But I feel good. Yeah, you look good.

Thank you very much. CBS make you lose that weight?

Yeah! (laughter)

How you been? Good.

Yeah, yeah. Good, good.

I'm having trouble...

a lot of trouble finding one of those guys

to take the 12:30 spot after me.

Me too. It's killing me. Boy, it's fucked.

There's only a handful of guys that can do it.

Driving me nuts, yeah, yeah.

Who you thinking about? I can't tell you.

Well, come on. No, I can't, I'm sorry.

Come on, there's no one around.

No, I know there's no one--

Who you thinking about?

I'll tell you who we're leaning towards.

I would tell you if I could.

You want a straw--? No thanks.

Who-- who are you thinkin' about, though?

Uh, uh... It's a big deal.

It's a big responsibility. Well, we're leaning towards,

Bobcat Goldthwait, actually. Oh.

The-- he's great. The animal...? Yeah, I think he's--

The "ah, ah, ah"? He shouts, and I think

it would be good going into a commercial break.

"We'll be right back!" Yeah.

Yeah, that's cute. I like that.

Bobcat. Who're you thinking about?

Come on. I can't tell you.

Come on. Come on.

Just between us. I can't tell you.

Who you thinking about?

What did I say? Did I say I can't tell you?

If I could, I would.

Yeah. Come on, you should be on a high right now.

You're moving. This is gonna be great.

Who you thinking about? Tom Snyder.

But don't tell anyone. Oh, come on.

Tom Snyder. Come on.

Tomorrow, Tom Snyder.

No. Yeah. Tom Snyder.

The original Tom Snyder? Yes.

The guy you-- Yeah.

His hair is back. He's ready to go. Wow.

Tom Snyder. I'm shocked.

No, it's gonna be great. God.

No, we're very happy with it.

Dick Cavett tied up? I couldn't answer to that.

Yeah. Well, good luck. I think it'll be great.

Listen, I'm sorry about that, uh,

you didn't win tonight. Ye-- yeah.

I'm glad you got that. You deserve that.

Well, I'm happy. You know, I'm happy.

It's a nice little pat on the back,

but the thing I admire about you,

you're the kind of guy, this is not important to you.

The awards mean nothing to me. What's important to you is the work.

And thank goodness for you Yeah.

and your friends and family.

You can go out every night... Yeah.

and prove yourself all over.

And you get that feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction.

That's exactly how I feel. And that's the best thing.

The award is not really that important, is it?

No, I-- yeah, no, no. Yeah.

What is that? Is it heavy?

This is one of those rare moments in my life

when I know now I can do something for you

that I think will mean a great deal.

You want a-- Take the award.

I'm not kidding around this time.

Take it, please.

It would mean a lot to me to take it.

Go ahead. Okay.

You're insane! See?

Fucker. Boy, oh boy, are you nuts!

You're a fucker. I've never seen a guy like you.

You're a fucker. Wow!

Good luck with that Snyder thing. Yeah, sure.

Now, listen, the affiliates are to the--

to my left, all right? Don-- don't look!

And, uh, I just want you to go out and have--

Is there anything I can do?

No, you've already done a lot.

I mean, giving me this is-- it's pretty cool, thanks.

All right, 'cause I think you're gonna do great.

I just want you to have fun, because just remember,

as far as I'm concerned, this is a done deal.

All right? Thank you.

Okay. Thanks.

Hey, and welcome to the Bobcat Goldthwait show!

That's me, Bobcat.

And, um, please watch or I'll come to your house.

See, and then-- like, the show's not gonna

be like any other show.

I'm not even gonna have real chairs.

These are like fake chairs. I'm gonna have bean bag chairs,

and I'm not even gonna have a desk.

I'm gonna have a bean bag desk, right?

So, let's say a guest comes on,

puts a beverage on the bean bag desk

and it gets all wobbly.

That'll be funny, right?

And then, like, okay,

I have-- let's say, Madonna...

Who's the guy in the golf slacks?

Oh, that's great Artie Hankins,

the Kansas City affiliate.

Super guy. Yeah? Good.

Bobcat: And she'll go,

"Why, thank you, Bobcat.

I've always been attracted to you."

And I'll go, "Oh, thank you very much, Madonna.

I've always been a big fan of your work."

"Oh, no, no problem. It's-- you're kind of a--

You know, I consider you date bait."

But, it'd be Madonna,

it wouldn't actually be me.

And then there'll be a band.

(screaming) I don't know--

I don't have a theme written yet.

Excuse me. Right? But something like that.

And then, another thing I want to do--

Larry: Bob? Uh, Bob...

Wait, no-- Wednesday is no pants night.

I don't care who the guest is,

they're not wearing pants!

That's a great one. Hey, uh, listen, Bob,

uh, are you gonna do any of this

in your real voice or what?

What, I-- I--

Are you turning on me too?

No, no, I'm not turning on you, I just think, uh...

I can't get enough of this character,

you know I love it. But the affiliates,

why, I think that they, uh,

they want to know that you're something

other than just that character.

They think that's you. They think it's kind of--

They think you're crazy.

You want me to take it down a little bit?

Well, you know, could you take it down a little bit?

That would be great.

Maybe just down to a, you know,

seven or something.

Oh, that-- that is a seven.

That was a seven? Yeah.

Maybe, you know, a two?

Would it be-- would that be asking too much?

No, I can do a two. Okay, that'd be great.

That's fine.

It's hilarious. Oh, oh, good.

Just have fun. I'm telling you, this is--

it's a done deal, anyway.

Okay? Sure.

There's also going to be a live band.

Bobcat: Whoa, we're back from our little interruption.

And then like, another thing on the show,

a regular feature is, let's say I have a guest,

like Donna Mills. And there's Donna.

She's just yammering away, like plugging something.

I'm gonna have a big giant Nerf bat,

bigger than this one, and then I'll just go,

"Oh, that's fascinating, Donna.

Oh, please, tell me some more about your pets."

Boom! Smack her right in the face.

I'll-- I'll hit her, right in the face.

I want to hit her so hard, like,

you can get some of her makeup

right here, a lot of it.

It'll be like "the holy shroud of Donna."

The crowd's gonna go crazy, and, um...

Is this what you really want?

Why don't you go all the way with it

and get the young people's favorite, Pauly Shore?

'Cause I happen to think this is still funny, okay?

It's a little different, a little more daring, but if you're not gonna

do something different, why bother?

The network wants Coulier and Saget.

Why not put them together as a team?

It worked for the Smothers Brothers.

Because the Smothers Brothers

happened to actually be brothers, Artie.

I don't believe Coulier and Saget are related.

How about Rowan and Martin?

I'm not changing my mind.

If I cave in now...

the network's gonna question me

on everything I want to do.

Larry, listen carefully.

This is not you against the network. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

It's you against the most powerful people

in television, the affiliates.

And they're never going to buy it, kiddo.

I get-- I have a good relationship

with the affiliates. They'll come around.

Let's see how long that lasts

after Bobcat bashes Donna Mill''

face in with a Nerf bat.

He's not gonna do that. He'll be fine.

He's gonna last exactly three weeks.

And then they're gonna dump the both of you

and put on reruns of "McMillan and Wife"

and "Hawaii Five-Zilch." Bobcat: I want to have...

and then, sometimes, I'm not even gonna be on the show.

It's just gonna be my voice

coming from a box such as this one,

and it'll just be this disembodied voice.

It'll be like, you know, a Beckett play.

How long do I have to make my decision?

You've got to announce it on the show tomorrow night.

Do you ever have to go and then we, because like--

I hope we made the right choice.

Well, the network certainly seemed to be intrigued.

Good, good. Well, I feel good about it.

Arthur... Okay.

Could I talk to you for a moment, please?

You okay, Sid?

Some asshole put a potato

in the tailpipe of my car.

Oh, that's awful.

Who would do a thing like that? I'll kill the bastards.

Just settle down. If I find out who...

Sid, what, did you used to work at the post office?

I did it, Artie. Did what?

I did it. "Penis, vagina, penis, vagina."

You put that in the newsletter, Darlene?

You're kidding? I love Hank.

I really do, but sometimes

he makes me do crummy jobs,

and he talks to me like I'm an idiot.

I think I just wanted to hurt him.

I know the feeling.

Oh. I was beginning to worry about you, sweetie,

but I think you're finding

a place for yourself in this business.

Oh, I hope so, Artie. Thank you so much.

Uh-huh, secret, secret.

All right, Darlene, pull my car

up to the back door and have it running

as soon as the show is over.

And, listen, try to keep that interior temp

as close to 60 as possible, capisce?

Yes, sir. That's my girl.

(softly) Penis, vagina.

(audience laughter) Bill Clinton has nominated

a woman to the Supreme Court.

Or, as Clarence Thomas likes to say, "new meat."

(audience laughter and cheering)

Now, I would like to get onto a very important issue.

There's been a lot of conjecture,

a lot of misinformation in the papers

about who we are puttin' on in the 12:30 slot

after us, "The Larry Sanders Show."

And I'd like to put an end to all the speculation by--

right now by announcing and introducing the new host

of the 12:30 slot to you now.

He's an old friend, and a very talented man,

Mr. Tom Snyder! Tom Snyder.

(cheering and applause)

Larry.

Hi, folks.

(cheering continues over chatter)

Now, Tom...

(cheering continues) Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, folks.

I would say off the bat,

it looks like we've really made the right choice

in picking you, Tom. Wow, how do I follow this at 12:30? Wow.

Well, it's not going to be easy, Tom,

but if there's anybody who can do it...

it's you. (audience laughter)

So, uh, Tom, welcome to the family.

Thank you, Larry.

Pleasure to be back on the network.

Finally out of CNBC and back in--

(laughter)

Back in the old 12:30 A.M. saddle.

It's great. Well, listen, maybe get

a regular chair this time.

(audience laughter)

Funny man, Larry Sanders.

Oh, oh, funny, funny man.

Now, listen, uh,

what kind of show will you be doing, Tom?

You ask me now. I ask you now.

(light laughter)

Be similar to the old show, the show we love?

Well, I think it'll be a little one-on-one.

You know, that's always been something

I've had good fortune doing. Absolutely.

Covering issues. I think there's

a lot of stuff going on in the world

that's, uh, important.

And, you know, Larry, I think it's high time

that late night television got back to covering things

that matter in this world.

Well, I couldn't agree with you more, Tom.

(applause) And there's eight other people.

Eight other people here. No, ten.

Now, what kind of guests will you be having?

Well, I'll tell you something, uh...

I'd like to have you on the air.

You know, go behind the scenes,

get to the bottom of Larry Sanders.

(cheering and applause)

And eight other people agree with that.

There's eight. What do you say?

I'm, uh-- I'm in.

I'm in. Good.

You know, I'm-- I'm absolutely--

I'm as good as there.

And if I can't make it, Hank will be.

No flipping! We'll be right back.

(cheering and applause, band playing)

Oh, boy, they seemed to like it, huh?

Yeah, well, they'd better.

It cost us an arm and a leg

to steal him away from Letterman.

Yeah, but it was worth it. We got him.

How did old Bobcat take it?

I thought you told Bobcat.

You were gonna tell him.

Well, someone better tell him

before this goes on the air tonight.

Well, he's your pal, it was your idea.

You-- you should tell him. Fine.

I'll tell him right after the show.

Good, okay. But I feel bad, though.

Oh, come on. We'll let him

guest host for a week.

That's a good idea. That's great. Yeah.

Yeah. That's a good idea, 'cause I like him.

He's a talent.

Listen, I have to ask you this again.

When Letterman said that he was thinking

of Tom Snyder, you're sure he wasn't joking?

Yeah, he wasn't joking. Yeah.

And, of course, I asked Tom about it,

and he said that he never heard

about the Letterman thing.

Really? Really.
