(googling Corbett Monica) FFS, I’ve seen that bit. I KNOW that bit. Forty-nine years and I still REMEMBER that bit. And it wasn’t funny in 1967. ☹

So why am I not funny? Or it it because I’m Corbett-Monica “funny?”

If he did read us, I was almost hoping he’d wink to us through the 4th wall… but he won’t.

As to his being nervous, I’ve watched the debates as well as CNN. Woody may just be an American who is ahead of his time…
