| Jul-04-10 | | Mr Snuffleupagus: “I think Jay Leno should be forced to tell a ton of Tom Cruise jokes about getting in bed with giant lobsters. What do you think, Bill Hicks?”
~ Johnny Carson up in heaven, finally realizing there are worse people than him on Earth, since Jay Leno is still there. |
|
| Jul-27-10 | | Dredge Rivers: Do you remember when Jay Leno was funny? I sure don't! |
|
| Nov-13-10 | | Dredge Rivers: Good news, everbody!
1. Conan is back on the air!
2. Leno still sucks! |

 | | HeMateMe: Conan is boring. He walks around on the stage, sort of self anaylzing himself......BORING....I did watch his opening night show, now on the satellite station MSN (what's next, Conan show on the Lifetime network?) Conan on TV Land? Jack White was cool, and the rest of the show was....BORING.... |
|
| Nov-15-10 | | Dredge Rivers: 3. <HeMateMe> still doesn't know what he's talking about! |
|
| Nov-15-10 | | talisman: i like Jack Paar and Joey Bishop. as for chessplayers, I like George C.Scott and Humphrey Bogart. |
|
| Nov-15-10 | | Jim Bartle: I can only imagine what it would be like to sit down across from George C. Scott and withstand that explosive stare. Nothing to envy from Tal. And if I lost, Scott might tell me, "You..owe...me...MONEY!" |
|
| Nov-18-10 | | Dredge Rivers: <Jim Bartle> At the risk of sounding ignorant, what the heck is <"You...owe...me..MONEY!> about? It is a reference of some kind? If so, I don't get it. |
|
| Nov-18-10 | | Jim Bartle: It's a famous line delivered by Scott in "The Hustler": Gordon: Where do you think you're going? Eddie? <You owe me money!> Eddie: Well, just how do ya figure that, Bert? Whaddya figure I owe ya? Gordon: Half.
Eddie: In Louisville, it was seventy-five percent.
Gordon: Well, here it's half.
Eddie: What if I don't pay ya, Bert?
Gordon: (laughs) You don't pay me? You're gonna get your thumbs broken again. And your fingers. If I want 'em to, they're gonna break your right arm in three or four places. Fats: You better pay him, Eddie.
Eddie: So you figure you're still my manager, huh?
Gordon: I'm a businessman, kid. |

| | HeMateMe: I hadn't seen "the Hustler" until "The Color Of Money" came out, which depticted the grown up 'fast' Eddie Felson, the pool shark who was now teaching Tom Cruise the ropes. I went out and rented it, pretty good. Jackie Gleason was very convincing, and did many of his own trick pool shots. I think Geroge C. Scott, though a fine actor, was miscast. Most loan shark thugs were either italian or negro, depending what neighborhood you lived in. If they were white, they were Jewish (Myer Lansky) or Irish. This sort of waspy looking George C. Scott doesn't really fit the mold, but he was certainly despicable enough to be convincing. |
|
| Nov-18-10 | | bumpmobile: <Jackie Gleason was very convincing, and did many of his own trick pool shots> All of the trick shots were performed by Willie Mosconi. If you listen right before Eddie and Fats start playing, Fats says, "Willie, hold the stake money." Sure enough, Willie Mosconi himself walks up and grabs the money. |

| | HeMateMe: You may be right; one review I had read of the film said that Gleason was a very good pool player, and did a number of the shots in the film. I didn't know that Musconi was in the film. Funny you should mention a great player like that--I think "The Color of Money" did a better job of actually explainning how pool hustling worked, at least the way it worked 25 years ago--professionals making more money hustling in the side rooms than in actual prize money, stuff like that. |
|
| Nov-18-10 | | TheFocus: You are wrong. Gleason did all of his own shots, even the trick shots. Watch the movie again and you will see that his shots were in wide-angle. It was Jackie doing the shooting. That was Willie Mosconi's actual pool hall in the movie. |

| | HeMateMe: Did they canccel 'Cocoa's show yet? |
|
| Dec-12-10 | | Raisin Death Ray: <HeMateMe>
1. That should be <cancel> and <CoCo>. 2. The answer is no, of course! |
|
| Dec-26-10 | | Dredge Rivers: Have they canceled Leno's show yet? |
|
| Dec-26-10 | | edbermac: edbermac: <Dredge Rivers: Have they canceled Leno's show yet?>
Why? He's still beating Letterman and Nightline in the ratings |
|
| Dec-27-10 | | Dredge Rivers: <elbermac> <Why?> Dude, if you check out <HeMateMe>'s December 4TH entry (which is only 3 spaces above yours) you'll know why I asked that question! Ya gotta love the work ethic around here!! |
|
Dec-27-10
| | HeMateMe: The show hasn't been cacelled, just moved. It's on at 4:30 am on TBS, right between the "Bionic Woman" and "The Dukes of Hazzard." |
|
| Dec-29-10 | | Dredge Rivers: <HeMateMe> That's still better than Leno deserves! (We are still talking about him, right?) :) |
|
Aug-23-11
 | | OhioChessFan: I have to commend Letterman for a pretty brave move to come right back and tape another show. |
|
| Dec-18-11 | | Dredge Rivers: Getting better ratings than Leno! (Then again, so is Alan Thicke!) :) |
|
| Jul-01-13 | | Dredge Rivers: Still waiting for an answer. |
|
Jul-01-13
| | HeMateMe: you post as often as Conan gets a new show. |
|
| Jul-05-13 | | Dredge Rivers: Well, well, well, <HMM>! I didn't know you were still around. Not that anyone gives a crap! BTW, no one is replacing CONAN as host next year. Just sayin'! :) |
