Robin Williams; Shannen Doherty; and Dusty. PLUS:Dave Eats Crow; Delegate of the Night; and Andy Kindler at the Republican National Convention.
" . . . and now, chicken-frying Kentucky Colonel . . . . . David Letterman!"
ACT 1:
It's time for Dave to eat crow. He watched Wednesday's Republican National Convention and the speech by Vice President Candidate Sarah Palin. Dave was expecting Ms. Palin would not live up to the position she's striving to. He expected the political novice to get her heel stuck on something on her way to the podium. But she showed great composure and confidence and blew the dump off the place . . . . or, rather, blew the roof off the dump. Now we want her on the show. Dave looks over to the executive producer who informs Dave that we have e-mailed everyone in hopes of betting her here.
Earlier in the week, Dave thought this may have been John McCain's dumbest move ever, but now . . . . but now we're wondering who we would rather see at the top of the ticket.
Dave also feels she will put an end to ugly people in politics. She is quite the looker. Now, we'll only want good looking politicians. Kucinich? He's well-meaning but . . . . Giuliani? Another great American, but honest to God . . . . Mitt Romney? He's a little too good looking to be a politician.
Once again, Dave expected nothing from Alaska governor and the woman came out and blew the dump off the place! Says Dave, "Well, you live and you learn."
Before going to commercial, we take a look at the "Delegate of the Night." We see a happy delegate dancing like a Republican. Foolish. Dave says, "When the Republican Party becomes the Party of Good-Looking People, that guy won't be allowed in to the Convention."
ACT 2: ANDY KINDLER -- At the Republican National Convention. What did Andy think of Sarah Palin's speech? Andy says she was not afraid of taking on the community organizers! Yeah, those people who go into poor neighborhoods and help feed and clothe the poor and the needy. She took them on! Yeah! They really stick in my craw."
How does it feel now that the Convention is coming to a close? Andy says it feels like the last day at camp . . . at a very bad camp.
The Convention organizers are hard at work revamping the stage for McCain's speech. Andy says McCain will run out like Mick Jagger and prance all across the stage. I laughed at the image . . . . and then I checked something out: John McCain: 72 years old. Mick Jagger: 66 years old.
They're nearly the same age. Let's take a minute and think about that.
What does Andy Kindler have for us tonight? It's something he calls, "Political Commentary with Andy Kindler."
We see Andy standing in front of a soft drink machine. Andy: "I am going to select a beverage the same way McCain selected his running mate." Andy closes his eyes and pushes a button on the machine. And that's the way McCain chose Palin.
ACT 3: ROBIN WILLIAMS: This is always fun, trying to recap a visit with Robin Williams. After covering Sarah Palin's speech and John McCain's selection of her, Robin wonders what our current President will do once out of office: "He can't go on speaking tours!"
The Beijing Olympics: reminded him of a huge Chinese Day Care. The young Chinese Olympians? Of course they were of age; it said so on their Chinese government issued passports!
Robin then mentions a story about his son who is putting together a restaurant guide for people his age in New York City. Dave laughs and wonders aloud, "Remember when you were a people his age'?" Gee whiz, I used to be a "people his age." When did I stop being a "people his age"? Probably when I started using "Gee whiz".
Robin is about to start a national stand-up tour September 25th. It all begins in Minneapolis and includes 35 dates across the country with more to come.
ACT 5: Announce: "Tomorrow on the Late Show, Dave welcomes John Malkovich, Hayden Panettiere, and musical guest Steve Earle. The Late Show! Your only source for pulse-pounding NFL action!
We'll be right back."
ACT 6: SHANNEN DOHERTY: She's bringing back her role of Brenda Walsh on the new 90210 on the CW, Tuesdays at 8:00 PM. I missed the first 90210 craze when it first rolled around. I think I was busy watching 21 Jump Street.
We see that Shannen has a tattoo on her ankle. It looks like some kind of cross. Any significance? Shannen says is has to do with her Catholic upbringing. I used to have a tattoo honoring my Catholic school background. The tattoo was the impression of a yardstick across my knuckles. It was a temporary. It usually went away in about a week.
Shannen lives in Malibu, home of the fires and mudslides that put out the fires. She recently had to evacuate her home due to the approaching fire. She was given a few minutes to get her valuables. She quickly got her pets into the car, then returned and took about 30 pair of her favorite shoes. In the past 40 years I may have had 30 pairs of shoes, and 10 of those were because my feet were still growing.
Shannen likes to ride horses. She first learned when she lied about being an accomplished rider just to get a part. She had to then learn pretty quickly. She recently went riding again after many years of not being on a horse. She tried to impress a friend by showing off her riding skills. Afterwards she was so sore from all that riding. Shannen says, "I feel like I still have an 1800 pound animal between my legs." There was no need for a follow-up. The audience was already making up their own joke.
ACT 7: DUFFY: From her new million-selling CD, "Rockferry," Duffy performed "Warwick Avenue."
And that was our show for Thursday September 4, 2008.
Hey, nice job, New York City! Let's see how that meeting must have went. City: "So, you want to put on a concert here in the city?" Promoter: "Yes" City: "At Madison Square Garden?" Promoter: "No, we want it outside." City: "Oh, in Central Park." Promoter: "No, on the street." City: "A side street. OK." Promoter: "No, not on a side street." City: "Hmmm, not on a side street. Where, in the Bronx? Staten Island? Queens?" Promoter: "We'd like it Manhattan." City: "Way Uptown?" Promoter: "No, midtown, right in the heart of the city." City: "On a Sunday I hope." Promoter: "No, on a Thursday." City: "Early morning?" Promoter: "No, right in the middle of the evening rush hour." City: "And where do you want this concert?" Promoter: "Columbus Circle, where 8th Avenue and Broadway and 59th Street and Central Park West all converge. And, yes, right in the middle of the evening rush hour." City: "And what is this for?" Promoter: "To celebrate a football game in New Jersey." City: "That is out of the ques . . . . . uhhh, do we get tickets to this football game?"
Yup, my post-work commute was mish-mashed up into a big mess. The NFL and the City put on a concert 6 blocks north of the Theater right when most of the work force was eager to get on home. It was to celebrate the opening night of NFL football . . . . on a Thursday. But I guess that's to be expected because when I think of NFL football, I think of Thursday nights.
