  Speaker 1: Bob Newhart, The Life and Laughter of an American Treasure.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Did not know that his famous album that started his

• 2:08
  Speaker 1: at the Tidelands Motel in Houston, Texas, down the street
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: from where the Astrodome eventually was. I remember the Tidelands

• 2:42
  Speaker 1: we're going to hear from Kalen DeBoer. The Alabama coach,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: things are, let's say, disturbed in the Tuscaloosa area in
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the state of Alabama. I think they were DEFCON 1
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: after losing to Georgia and went from DEFCON 1 to
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: DEFCON 5 after losing to Tennessee. And especially the way
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: they lost. Man, they got dominated. But you know what?
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Georgia lost too. That game, as we mentioned yesterday on
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the Writer's Roundtable, it took a lot out of both teams.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: A lot out of both teams. It is.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: We'll see how Alabama rebounds against the Aggies this weekend. Saturday, 2.30.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Our coverage begins at 10.30 in the morning here on

  Speaker 1: The Zone. Jackie Sherrill has been named the Bear Bryant
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Lifetime Achievement Award winner. And it will be given out
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: on January 27th in Houston. Bruce Arian's Heart of Champion Award.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: There's a Newcomer of the Year. There's the National Coach
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: of the Year that evening. As I mentioned earlier, it
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: will be the 41st year, and it will be two
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: days after the national championship game in Las Vegas on
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the 25th. Texax first reported that Jordan Pope's preliminary injunction
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: was granted by a California judge, which means it's a
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: little longer than a temporary restraining order, which he had.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: And the NCAA could go back to court seeking to
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: overturn the injunction. As I understand it, which isn't a lot,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: that could take enough time to allow Jordan Pope to
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: play for quite a while this year. I think they're
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: still waiting on Ryland Griffiths. There have been several others.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Trey Kaufman Wren at Alabama.
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: R.J.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Lewis ineligible at LSU. And the war of words between
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the league and LSU is not over. The state's attorney
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: general went postal on the SEC this afternoon. Ending their
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: statement with enough is enough. Leave us alone. The World
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Series is set. Ray's Brewers will begin Friday night in Milwaukee. Okay,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: are we ready for this? All right. Right now we're
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: going to jump out to the Players Fund Center phone
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: line and visit with author Michael Starr. His latest book
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: is called Bob Newhart. The Life and Laughter of an
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: American Treasure. Michael, thanks so much. What kind of led
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: you to do this book on Newhart?
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: You know, Chip, I'm always looking for somebody who hasn't
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: really been written about yet. You know, usually pop culture
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: heroes and icons. And Bob only passed away two years ago,
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: and I had interviewed him before when I was at
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: the New York Post and for some of my other books.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: And he was a nice guy, and I just, you know,
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: was thinking about my next project and looking back on
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: his career, which was, you know, very iconic. And I thought,
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: you know, why not? He deserves to have his story told.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: He basically, you know, 60-odd years ago was an overnight success,
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: and he remained so popular for over 60 years that
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: I just thought his story deserved to be told. And
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: I hope I've... People will learn some things about Bob
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: that they didn't know before and when they read the book.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: When you dig into the lives of these folks and
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: you've written about a lot of people, I don't want
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: to say there's disappointment, maybe surprise when you learn things.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: You go, ah, that's a shame. It seems that Newhart,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: what you see is what you get for the most part.
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's a good point, Chip. There are usually
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: when you do these sorts of books, you know, you
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: have an image, a vision in your head of what
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: the person is like, and then when you start to
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: do research and you go back in their history, sometimes
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: you find out some things that may surprise you and
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: make you scratch your head and go, oh, man, I
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: didn't know that. But that was not the case with
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: Bob Newhart. I mean, as you said, what you saw... on,
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: on screen. And I can tell you personally off, off screen,
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: he was a nice guy. And, and that was his,
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: his whole demeanor and his, his whole affect and his, his, the,
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: the public perception of him was, was sort of right
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: on point because he really was a nice guy, very unaffected. Um,
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: I don't think success went to his head as it
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: does with a lot of people. And, um, he was
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: a straight shooter and, um, you know, lived his life
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: in public as he lived it privately, you know, on
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: the straight and narrow. And, you know, I spoke to
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: a lot of people who knew him, and they really
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: had nothing negative to say in general.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: He lived the life of an accountant.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, it's funny. But when you look at Bob,
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: when you look at his public persona, you can sort
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: of You can sort of see how he might have been.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: He started out his working career, yes, as an accountant.
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: It didn't work out. He himself said he was not
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: very good with numbers and money, and he had to
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: sort of make up for shortfalls by taking money out
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: of his own pocket. But he was a very unassuming man,
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: and he went to law school also for a year,
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: but he didn't like that, so he dropped out. kind
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: of fell into this, you know, doing comedy routines. And, yeah,
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: it is surprising that he did start out as an accountant,
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: but as he would be the first to tell you,
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: he was not very good. So luckily for us, he
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: found a better vocation.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: You know, I had no idea that the great album
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: that he did, the button-down mind of Bob Newhart, iconic,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: was taped in– Houston at the old Tidelands. It actually
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: was a motel. It was one of those drive-ups. I
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: remember it. I mean, I'm old enough to remember the Tidelands.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Had no idea that that album was cut there.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's an interesting fact. I mean, when Bob was
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: signed by Warner Brothers Records, I mean, nobody knew who
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: he was. I mean, Warner Brothers was taking a risk
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: by signing Bob. They had heard some of his pre-taped
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: comedy bits, and they wanted to record a live album.
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: But since he wasn't really known, he was known in Chicago,
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: but really not outside of the city by too many people.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: They needed to find a nightclub where he could do
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: his act. And keep in mind, he had never even
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: been in a nightclub. He had never done his act
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: in a nightclub before. So he sort of had two
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: strikes against him already. And it took the record company
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: quite a while to find a club willing to take
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: an unknown and let him perform there. And even the
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: clubs in his own city of Chicago said no, and
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: New York, no, L.A., no. But they finally found the
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: Tidelands in Houston, and they were willing to take a
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: gamble on him and put an unknown, let him perform
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: where he had never performed before in a nightclub. And
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: the rest is history. I mean, the album you mentioned,
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart, Put him on the
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: map and put Warner Brothers records on the map and
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: it sold over a million copies and he was on
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: his way from there. He never looked back.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: You know, it's not hyperbole, I don't think, to say
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: it is one of the most successful and greatest comedy
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: albums in the history of the medium, isn't it?
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: Yes, and they weren't even... It's funny because when Bob
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: recorded that album, they weren't even called comedy albums back then.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: They were called spoken word albums. The term hadn't really
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: been coined until Bob had this huge success with the
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: button-down mind of Bob Newhart and other record companies and
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: his own label started to record a lot of comedians.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: So it kind of became known as comedy albums. And
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: Such was the success of that album that it really
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: helped save Warner Brothers Records. Obviously, the movie studio was
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: a huge success, and they had some success in television,
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: but they were struggling with their records. So they signed
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: the Everly Brothers, who had a number one hit with
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: Wake Up Little Susie. That helped. that was a big help.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: And then along comes Bob with the button down mind.
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: And that those two acts, the Everly brothers and Bob
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: Newhart really in effect saved Warner brothers records.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: And then he, from, from that, he parlays that into
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: TV appearances on all of the big talk shows. He
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: was the tonight show with, with both Jack Parr, I think,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: and Johnny Carson, Dean Martin. I mean, Dinah Shore. He
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: went on all of these shows because in those days,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: it wasn't instant. I'm guessing people are seeing Bob Newhart
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: for the first time. They saw his picture on the
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: album cover, but they'd never seen him until he goes
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: on television.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: Exactly. That's a great point because you think back, obviously
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: no internet, No cell phones, you know, that kind of thing.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: No TikTok. So, yeah, and people were getting their first
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: look physically at people who maybe not have seen him
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: in a nightclub at Bob Newhart. You know, millions of Americans,
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: you know, nationwide. And also something to remember is that
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: after the success of the button-down mind of Bob Newhart,
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: About a year later, a year and a half later,
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: he's on national television with his own TV show. Yeah.
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: Which was, you know, this was the first iteration. It
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: was called The Bob Newhart Show. It's not the one
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: everybody remembers. It aired on NBC. It was a sketch
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: variety show. It was canceled after one season because they
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: didn't get the viewership that the network wanted. However, it
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: was recognized by Bob by its... peers in show business,
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: and it won a Peabody Award, an Emmy Award. But
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: unfortunately for Bob, he was not a sketch. The show
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: itself was sort of a combination of Bob's comic monologues,
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: which he was famous for, and sketches. But he didn't
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: really like to do the comedy sketches. He wasn't that
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: sort of comedian. And I think he realized that as
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: soon as the show aired. So they tried to work
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: more and more of his monologues, and he still had
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: to do the sketch comedy. But the show never quite
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: caught on, and it was canceled after one season by NBC.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, one of the surprising things to me
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: is with the Bob Newhart show and Newhart, two iconic shows,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: he never won an Emmy.
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, go figure, right?
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: I mean.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: The Bob Newhart show, the first Bob Newhart show did,
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: but it was, I think, I don't remember the exact
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: Emmy award or what, but he personally, you're absolutely right,
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: never won an Emmy until years later with the Big
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: Bang Theory.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, who knew?
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so. I mean, that's incredible. When you look, you
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: think Bob Newhart really never won an Emmy. The Bob
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: Newhart show, the second one that was so popular on CBS,
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: never won an Emmy. It's just it's a head scratcher,
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: but it's just one of those things you can't quite
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: figure out.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: And then when they talked him into being this character
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: on The Big Bang Theory, he said, I'll do it,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: but I need an arc. I'm not doing a appearance.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: and I want to win an Emmy.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Chuck Lorre, the show's creator, had been trying for
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: quite some time to get Bob on the show. Every season,
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: he would sort of send him a note saying, now?
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: And Bob would say, nah, I don't think so. And
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: then finally, he agreed, and the rest is television history.
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: Professor Proton, Arthur Jeffries, and yes, he did win an Emmy,
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: and it opened him up to a whole new generation
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: of And then he had, you know, the big success
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: with Elf, obviously Will Ferrell, and that opened him up
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: to a whole new generation. So, yeah, he later in
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: life was maybe even worse, you know, better known than
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: he was earlier in his career.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: So let's talk about the iconic shows. 1972, he's been
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: doing this a while. They finally find this vehicle. I
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: don't think it was like some of these shows. It
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: wasn't an immediate success, was it?
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: No, but it was not. It did okay in its launch,
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: and it got very good reviews. It took a little
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: bit of time to find traction. And I think what
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: helped the show was the fact that it was airing
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: on Saturday nights on CBS Live. in that vaunted, that
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: classic lineup with All in the Family, MASH, the Mary
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: Tyler Moore Show, and the Carol Burnett Show.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: That's quite a run right there.
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: It's unbelievable when you look back on it. I can't
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: think of any other network, maybe Must See TV and NBC,
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: but there aren't that many of those kinds of... blockbuster lineups.
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: So the Bob Newhart show, it did well, and it
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: picked up traction. It was never, interestingly enough, I think
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: because it was in that lineup, it was never top
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: of mind, sort of like All in the Family was
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: or the Mary Tyler Moore show was. It did well,
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: and it got great reviews, and it was considered a
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: classic sitcom. But people would go, oh, yeah, right, the
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: Bob Newhart show, because I think it was... I don't
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: want to say it was buried in that lineup. That's
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: the wrong word. But it was maybe overshadowed a bit
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: by the other shows that it was part of on
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: that Saturday night lineup.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: It really became iconic when they put it in reruns.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: And again, he reached a whole new audience with college students,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: didn't he?
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: Yes, he did. And there's a funny story. In the book,
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: I believe... that the local station in Chicago, even after
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: all the success of the show, did not want to... was,
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: you know, kind of going back and forth whether they
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: should air the reruns of the Bob Newell show. And
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: his father wrote a letter to the station manager saying,
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: you know, like.
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: What's the deal?
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: It's like, air my son's show. And obviously they did.
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: And yes, it was a huge success in syndication, which helped.
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: And.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: Bob was one of the few performers, at least in television,
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: to follow up one successful show with another successful show, Newhart,
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: which aired on CBS, which began in 1982, so about
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: four years after the Bob Newhart show went off the air.
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: And that's a very rare feat in television, when you
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: can follow up one big success with maybe even a
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: big success than your second time around.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy who played a character
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: that was so non-threatening, was he not? He was an everyman.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: He was an everyman. And I think the genius of
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: both of those two shows that we mentioned, the Bob
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: Newhart show and Newhart's, was that Bob, yes, he carried
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: the show because he was the star, but he surrounded
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: himself with, you know, very funny co-stars and he allowed
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: them to often take center stage. You know, when we
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: talk about the Bob Newhart show, we think of the patients,
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: you know, Mr. Carlin and, you know, and people like that.
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: And when we think of Newhart, You think of Larry,
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: the three guys.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: Larry, Daryl, and Daryl.
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: So yeah, and I think that was one of the
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: geniuses of Bob Newhart himself and the producers of those shows,
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: knowing that Bob could sort of carry the show in
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: his own way, but at the same time be aided
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: and abetted in comedy by his co-stars.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: And it ends up having, if not the most iconic,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: certainly in the top three series endings of all time
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: that people still talk about to this day.
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: No doubt. And, you know, that ending for Newhart was
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: suggested by Bob's wife, Ginny.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, how about that?
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: At a Christmas party they were at, and Bob said,
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: you know what, that's a great idea. And they sold
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: it to the producers and the writers, and it took
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: everybody by shock, including even some people on the show
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: and the studio audience, because they kept it very hush-hush.
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: Suzanne Plachette agreed to return for that finale, and they
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: kept her sort of isolated from everybody, hidden in a
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: trailer so nobody would know she was on the soundstage.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: They ushered her in. It was very secretive. you know, they, they,
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: they took the, the, you know, the, the sort of
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: the part of that stage away and there they were.
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: And if you watch that scene on YouTube or whatever,
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: you can sort of hear the audience go like, wow, their,
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: their reaction was like astonishment. And there, there they were
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: Bob and Emily back in bed together. And, you know,
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: Bob says, boy, I just had the strangest dream. And yeah,
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: that is, I think you're right, definitely. If not one
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: of the top three endings in sitcom history.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I just saw a clip on Letterman, and he told
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Dave it was more secretive than D-Day.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and in those pre-internet days, they had to swear
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: the TV writers, the journalists who covered television, and the
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: people in the audience who'd seen it, to secrecy. I'm
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: not so sure that would happen.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Today with social media. Never would have happened.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: Social media, cell phones, that sort of thing. It would
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: be really, really hard to pull off.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: You know, and what's so interesting is, you know, after
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: the fact, years after the fact, they open up on
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: the bedroom scene and the audience, the studio audience, immediately
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: recognize the furniture and the scene from the previous show.
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: That's how iconic it was. And as you mentioned before,
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: it being so successful in syndication that it was, you know,
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: people might have discovered it, may have discovered the show
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: for the first time. And it was a staple of
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: syndicated stations airing the show. So, yes, people were very
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: familiar with it, that set and their bedroom. They used
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: all the original stuff that they had the first time around.
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: And that just made it so much more worthwhile and
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: so much more fun. for people who are watching the show.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: I'll end with this. His friendship with Don Rickles and
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: their wives was famous. They both talked about it. They
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: traveled all over the world together. Seemingly, these two guys
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: that were just the opposite, but in fact, they weren't
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: necessarily just the opposite, were they?
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, go figure, right? People think, wow, you know, Don
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: Rickles was brash and in your face and insulting and
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: Bob was so laid back. But in real life, Don
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: Rickles was a really nice man. And I mean, it
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: was an act, his stage persona. And Bob Newhart, as
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: we've mentioned, was nice. So yes, they got along famously.
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: Their wives got along famously. Their families were friendly with
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: each other. So yeah, on the surface, you might say, wow,
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: I can't imagine those two would ever be friends. But
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: in real life, they were both very nice down-to-earth guys,
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: and they discovered that they had a lot in common. And, yeah,
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: one of the few showbiz friendships that lasted a very
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: long time and really was a true friendship. It wasn't
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: just of, you know, yeah, I'll see you next time
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: I'm on your show, or maybe we'll catch a dinner sometime.
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: They were very, very close.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Not only showbiz friends, but showbiz marriages. With both of them.
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: Yes, indeed. And it's just really, I think, speaks a
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: lot to how both of those men were in real life.
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: And also how different you can be when people get
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: to know you. And we think of Don Rickles. I
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: wrote a book about him, too. And people, you know,
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: his whole act was insulting people. in a nice, you know,
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: in a funny way, but he wasn't like that in
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: real life. And, and the thing about Newhart was what
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: you saw was what you got, even in real life.
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: He was, he was just a very down to earth guy.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can name on one hand, I'm thinking
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: the number of performers and stars who had a career
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: as long and as productive as Newhart did.
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: Yes, there aren't many. And I, for somebody to thrive
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: in the medium of television, which is so difficult and
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: so competitive and cutthroat. We see it even today. Shows air,
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: they're canceled after five episodes or whatever. For him to
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: have such a long career and at the same time
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: balance that television career with... One thing we.
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: We should mention is that Bob, you know, throughout all
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: the success, he always toured. He did so many live
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: shows up until almost, you know, the end of his life.
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: And so he always kept himself out there. He was
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: always working, but managed to balance his personal life with
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: his work life. and managed to keep himself in the
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: public eye, yet keep his private life private for the
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: most part. And he was not a scandalous figure, so
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: there was nothing, quote-unquote, bad to keep out of the spotlight.
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: But he was a private man, and people respected that.
• 27:16

  Speaker 1: Uh, Character actor Richard Reilly has died at 78. You
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: would know what he looked like, and you would know

• 32:45
  Speaker 1: He's also in Bridesmaids. Sorry, it's hard to talk about
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: him without laughing, which is always a good thing. He
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: was 78. Five decades in theater, film, and television. More
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: than 400 projects. This guy worked a lot. He died
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: last Thursday. It wasn't announced until today by his family.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, you would, all you have to
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: do is look at a picture and you go, oh, okay.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: I know who that is.
• 33:21
  Speaker 11: Yeah, that guy.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: That guy.
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Because you've seen him every. Oh, man. One of the
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: great movies. One of the hilarious movies of all time.
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: And, you know, I still do want to take a
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: copy machine out.
• 33:36
  Speaker 11: Into a field.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 33:38
  Speaker 11: And just hit it with a bat.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:42
  Speaker 11: I don't.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: I think we'll be able to do that.
• 33:48
  Speaker 11: Maybe I'll buy you a nice red stapler for Christmas.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: You mean buy my stapler? You mean buy my stapler?
• 33:55
  Speaker 11: Oh, that is sad that he's gone, though.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: It is. So while we're doing that, we had talked
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: about RJ Mitty last week dying.
• 34:09
  Speaker 11: Very sad.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Very sad. He was only 34. Well, they had his
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: memorial service in Brownsville. I told you he lived down
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: in the valley. And his youngest sister, LaChan, is 12
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: years his junior. Their grandmother were among the relatives who
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: spoke at his celebration of life in Brownsville last... Friday,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: it was. I not only just lost a brother, I
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: lost my father, she said. My mom was a single mother.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: When I was two weeks old, she was in an
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: accident and paralyzed from the waist down for the first
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: few years of my life. My brother immediately took on
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: the father role. All I can say is every part
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: of me is RJ. Every type of music I listen to,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: everything I watch, every game I play are mannerisms. She
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: reiterated his love for Brownsville, which was his home, his community.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: And he had died last week at his home in Brownsville.
• 35:24
  Speaker 11: Sad.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Like I said, he was only 34, so that
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: wasn't good. All right, give me some royal news. Let's
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: do something happy.
• 35:36
  Speaker 11: I do have some royal news.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: I knew you would.
• 35:39
  Speaker 11: Some family drama.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, good. More family drama.
• 35:46
  Speaker 11: Literally, though, Harry.
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: Was asked about his relationships with Prince William and King
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: Charles in a new interview. He did sit down with
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: GQ for a video interview, which was filmed in late
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: September during Harry's visit to New York City. During the chat,
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: he did bring up Harry's complicated relationship with his father
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: and brother, asking, is.
• 36:08
  Speaker 11: That something that you grieve about?
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: Yes, of course, he answered, adding that the family rifts
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: are a massively relatable issue for so many people. That
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: continues to come up with me and the whole the
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: whole time by the whole time by people that I
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: speak to. So I know how relatable it is. That's
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: probably why. Nothing more relatable than being.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: A royal drama.
• 36:31
  Speaker 11: Yeah, that's probably.
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: Why there's so much fascination. No, it's because you're also
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: a royal. But anyways, and then people maybe look at
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: us and go, how are you going to work it out?
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: And then maybe how I see you're going to work
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: it out. Maybe that will help me work out my stuff.
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: And some people don't want it to work out.
• 36:51
  Speaker 11: I want it to work.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Out for you.
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: So. There was a spokesperson for Harry and Meghan that
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: clarified his comment about some people not wanting things to
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: work out was absolutely not intended as a swipe at
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: his brother or any other family member. The comment was
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: made in general, in a general context, and was not
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: directed at.
• 37:11
  Speaker 11: His family in any way. Okay. Allegedly.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: But.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: Moving on, because Princess Kate is wearing a forest green
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: outfit and stealing the show at Windsor.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: No way.
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: Um.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: Apparently.
• 37:25
  Speaker 11: Oh, my goodness.
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: As King Charles III, Queen Camilla, and husband Prince William
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: welcomed the Sultan of Oman to Britain for the traditional
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: state visit on Tuesday, much of the focus was on
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: the future queen's look, particularly her striking headpiece.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Did she have a fascinator? I bet it was a fascinator.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: When they say headpiece, it's a fascinator.
• 37:58
  Speaker 11: She got some new headgear.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, headgear. That's what they call it in England. Headgear. Kate, Kate,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: this way, this way. I can't see your headgear.
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: She was wearing a long-sleeve Alexander McQueen coat.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, they're nice.
• 38:17
  Speaker 11: Despite the heavy rain.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Wait, wait, wait. There was rain in England?
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: Apparently.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: No way.
• 38:24
  Speaker 11: Shocking.
• 38:25
  Speaker 6: I know, guys. But her hat did feature an elegant
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: bow detail.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Well, duh.
• 38:33
  Speaker 6: British media reported that both Kate and Camilla's clothing choices
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: were not at the Omanian flag.

  Speaker 1: Wool Okay, so Kate is wearing green. I mean, green.

  Speaker 1: And Camilla is wearing red. Those dressers, they don't miss
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: a thing, do they?
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: They don't.
• 39:06
  Speaker 11: Apparently, the British government did request. Yeah, so I mean, yeah,
• 39:13
  Speaker 11: there was a great visit.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've got a pants shirt and a tennis shoes.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Nobody's writing about that today. You know what I'm saying?
• 39:20
  Speaker 11: He's got a green dress and Camilla's wearing red.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 39:23
  Speaker 11: You're welcome.
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of in a gray and green. So I'm not,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not, I'm not far behind today. I'm not far behind. Uh,
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know who I'm wearing today. Wait a minute. Oh,
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: I'm wearing habit. I'm wearing a habit today.
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: Cool.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 39:42
  Speaker 11: Um, I'm wearing a saint.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Sweater with, by the way, with Hoka shoes.
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: My shoe of choice.
• 39:53
  Speaker 11: Oh, that's nice.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: Those are good brand.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: And they're bright blue. People like those. Bright blue today.
• 40:00
  Speaker 13: Oh.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay. I didn't know it was green and red day.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: I would have dressed accordingly.
• 40:05
  Speaker 11: Well, you didn't want to upstage Princess Kate.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Well, no, I did not. I do not want to.
• 40:10
  Speaker 11: That would be a travesty.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: No, that would be bad. I would never be invited again. Actually,
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: I wasn't really invited this time, unfortunately.
• 40:20
  Speaker 11: Says who?
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, so Jay-Z, we've talked about Jay-Z before being the
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl kingmaker, right? His company makes decisions on who
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: is going to, you know, we've been talking about this,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: who is going to be this year's entertainment.
• 40:42
  Speaker 11: Okay, do we have new clues?
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Well, we do. Puck News. I don't know what Puck
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: News is. I don't know.
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: Oh, okay.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: P-U-C-K. Reliable. Puck News. Has to be true. Saying the
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: rap mogul thought about who would take the stage for
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: weeks and ultimately decided he would be the perfect fit.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: Multiple sources said saying that choosing Jay was a more
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: compelling idea than picking Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber, both
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: of whom were believed to be the frontrunners for Super
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Bowl 51 or 61 or whatever it is.
• 41:36
  Speaker 11: Whichever number, yeah.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: This year's, it's 61. Okay. This year's Super Bowl.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: Will take place at SoFi Stadium. That's in L.A., by
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: the way. Let's see.
• 41:54
  Speaker 6: That actually makes sense if you think about it.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: You think?
• 41:58
  Speaker 11: Because you know he's going to be bringing out a
• 42:00
  Speaker 11: bunch of guests. Yes, he's going to have a ton
• 42:04
  Speaker 11: of guests. It's in L.A.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, so there's been no official announcement. Rock Nation, owned
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: by Jay, reportedly secured a $ 5 million a year deal
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: to produce the halftime show. They re-upped the deal in
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: 2024 for another five years. So Jay-Z's thinking to himself, look,
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: I got a contract. If they're going to take me,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: I still have another two years after this, so I'm
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: going on. The Super Bowl halftime performance? of course, hasn't
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: always been without controversy or controversy, as we like to
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: say in England. Roc Nation is not confirming this yet,
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: but we'll see.
• 42:57
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean, if he does, I mean, Beyonce for
• 43:02
  Speaker 6: sure will pop out at some point.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: You got to, don't you?
• 43:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, how could he live with Bey if She
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: wasn't in the Super Bowl show that he's producing and
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: starring in.
• 43:14
  Speaker 11: Exactly.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
• 43:16
  Speaker 11: He's like, you know what? Don't have a fret, guys.
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: I'm sure Miley and Justin Bieber will pop.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Out at some point, too. Yeah, exactly. That's what I'm thinking. Okay, well,
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: money's on Jay-Z. All right. What do you think about that?
• 43:31
  Speaker 6: I mean, I think logistically, sure, it makes sense. Yeah.
• 43:36
  Speaker 6: He's like, this might be one of the biggest Super Bowls,
• 43:38
  Speaker 6: not because of the number that it is. Right.
• 43:40
  Speaker 11: But, I mean... It's L.A.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is L.A. It's L.A. He's got a lot
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: of people to choose from. Yeah, he's got a lot
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: of people to choose from.
• 43:49
  Speaker 11: So he's like, whoo, bigger than myself.
• 43:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: You know, maybe I'm not surprised. OK, we'll find out.
• 43:55
  Speaker 11: We'll keep you posted.
• 43:56
  Speaker 14: Yeah, we will.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: We sure will.
• 43:58
  Speaker 11: Christina Applegate. We're going to switch gears.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: OK.
• 44:01
  Speaker 6: Has shared a stunning health revelation. She doesn't have MS
• 44:06
  Speaker 6: after all. She revealed the news in the latest episode
• 44:11
  Speaker 6: of her messy podcast. It does have Jamie Lynn Sigler
• 44:15
  Speaker 6: that is focused on living with MS. She had previously
• 44:19
  Speaker 6: shared in 2021 that she was diagnosed with MS, an
• 44:22
  Speaker 6: autoimmune disease, which we know. But on her podcast episode,
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: she said this was a misdiagnosis. She broke down in
• 44:29
  Speaker 6: tears and recounted how the doctor recently told her, congratulations, you.
• 44:34
  Speaker 11: Don't have MS.
• 44:35
  Speaker 6: This may come as great news, but to me it
• 44:37
  Speaker 6: comes as a back to square one. And while everyone
• 44:41
  Speaker 6: in her life was relieved, her reaction to the news
• 44:45
  Speaker 6: was not happy at all, noting, you don't get misdiagnosed
• 44:49
  Speaker 6: and all of a sudden I'm better.
• 44:50
  Speaker 11: I haven't gotten better. If anything, I've gotten worse in
• 44:54
  Speaker 11: some ways. So I'm back to.
• 44:55
  Speaker 6: Square one and I don't know what's going on with me,
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: which I can understand.
• 44:58
  Speaker 11: At least when you have a diagnosis.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: You think, oh, this is what's going on. Yeah, and
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: then you start treating it.
• 45:05
  Speaker 11: Exactly.
• 45:06
  Speaker 6: The Star explained that doctors will have to continue investigating
• 45:09
  Speaker 6: what has been happening to her because she's had every
• 45:12
  Speaker 6: symptom of someone with MS, including weakness, pain and difficulty walking.
• 45:18
  Speaker 6: She did say her first MS symptom was numbness in
• 45:21
  Speaker 6: her toes, which extended to her legs. And on October
• 45:23
  Speaker 6: 20th' s podcast, she told listeners it hurts to stand up.
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: And that is her current symptom, besides including being fatigued,
• 45:32
  Speaker 6: noting she does She likes, she's sleeping all the time. Wow.
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: So she said, I had reasons as to why my
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: day sucked every day.
• 45:39
  Speaker 11: And now I don't have a reason.
• 45:41
  Speaker 6: And it's very unnerving and it's really confusing.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: I hate that.
• 45:46
  Speaker 11: So I can understand that sucks. Like that's, that's a lot.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: Tim McGraw had his, excuse me, had his family by
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: his side when he was inducted Sunday night to the
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: country music hall of fame posed with wife, Faith Hill,
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: two daughters, Audrey and Maggie and Apple and Fiona McGraw
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: could be seen wearing a black cowboy hat and red suit.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: He opted for a, she opted for a black lacy dress. Um,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: With Audrey. And then Maggie had a black velvet dress
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: with floral details. He was inducted alongside Paul Overstreet, the
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: Stanley Brothers, during the annual ceremony. It hadn't been on
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: TV yet. I know it's been taped for TV. You
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: know what tomorrow night is? It's the live Dolly show
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: tomorrow night.
• 46:58
  Speaker 11: Oh, I didn't know.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: Now I do. Yeah. And we'll talk more about it tomorrow.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: But just so you know, put it on your calendar.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: I told my wife this weekend, every agent in the
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: world has been calling the network saying, hey, can we
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: go on and do a Dolly song? Because there are
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: a bunch of acts. I don't know how long it's
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: scheduled to be. I'm guessing two hours, but I don't
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: know how they're getting everybody in. It is a long
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: list of people that are going to be performing tomorrow
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: night during this deal.
• 47:32
  Speaker 5: Oh, I bet.
• 47:34
  Speaker 11: I can only imagine.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: He, of course, praised Faith Hill, whom he said, the
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: only thing that can beat this night is when you're
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: standing here and I'm sitting there telling his daughters, you're
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: the best thing we've ever made. Nothing in our careers
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: come even close. Good for them. They've been together for
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: a while. I will say that.
• 47:58
  Speaker 11: They really have.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: Now, Don't expect John Goodman on Roseanne's new show, Meemaw.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: There will not be a Connor family reunion. Roseanne telling
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: The Hollywood Reporter that her on-screen husband won't be popping in.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: She says, my son called Goodman and asked him to
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: do a cameo and he declined. Roseanne's revelation came after
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: the interviewer asked how she got along with John and
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: Laurie Metcalf, who starred in Roseanne. She says she is
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: not in contact with either of them, adding, nobody is
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: more brokenhearted than me. I just choose to remember the
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: fun and the good times. So I suspect she was
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: a little difficult to work with. I'm just saying I
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: don't know that.
• 48:53
  Speaker 11: I can see that. I do have a short update
• 48:56
  Speaker 11: on Carrot Top.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, we don't do enough Carrot Top around here. We
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: just talked about it briefly. We did.
• 49:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, a couple weeks ago because he had, unfortunately, that
• 49:05
  Speaker 6: suicide attempt.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: Yes, he did.
• 49:07
  Speaker 6: But he has made his return to the Sin City
• 49:10
  Speaker 6: stage after the scary suicide attempt.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: Back in Vegas. You know, I'm going next month. Maybe
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: I can call the top and get some tickets.
• 49:18
  Speaker 11: Maybe you can. He was back.
• 49:20
  Speaker 6: On stage at the Luxor.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: The Luxor.
• 49:24
  Speaker 5: Luxor.
• 49:26
  Speaker 6: Sorry.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: Luxor.
• 49:28
  Speaker 11: In Las Vegas.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: Okay. You've seen a picture of it. It's really old.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: It's the huge black pyramid with the gigantic spotlight that
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: comes out of the top of it that can be
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: seen on the moon right okay.
• 49:43
  Speaker 6: There's that so that's where he's at okay monday night
• 49:48
  Speaker 6: um as the audience did roar for him with a
• 49:51
  Speaker 6: standing ovation after his return making his first uh performance
• 49:55
  Speaker 6: since uh he did overdose on prescription meds last month
• 49:59
  Speaker 6: um the other day he did go to social media
• 50:03
  Speaker 6: to thank his fans, uh, for their support during such
• 50:06
  Speaker 6: a tough time saying it meant more to me than,
• 50:08
  Speaker 6: you know, hopefully he's continuing to get whatever help he
• 50:11
  Speaker 6: needs because a month isn't.
• 50:14
  Speaker 11: A whole lot of time.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: There is, by the way, there is a documentary on
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: Netflix on Norm MacDonald that I would highly recommend. Um, yeah, just,
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: just watched it this last week.
• 50:27
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: Parts of it are tough, but, uh, Honestly, at the end,
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: there's redemption. So I really enjoyed it. And he's hilarious. Hilarious. Okay,
