Okay, I know this is less exciting than Bruce Willis, 'cause Mac knows he’s going to do it(Willis had no idea until a few hours before).
Anyway, I thought I’d start a thread because I like to(humor me) consider myself the big Letterman guy. I tend to think this will be okay, but will lack the freshness of last nights.
One of the other little quirks about me is I adore tennis, so I’m for any tennis guy getting the spotlight. I actually rather like Mac and always prefered his style of play(not his attitude) over most power-hitters of today.
Anywho, I’ll leave this until the show starts. Remember, Letterman is not having surgery, just has a little eye infection that has caused it to swell shut. He should be back Monday.
No, I believe Paul has a deal in his contract that he is not obligated to work when Dave is not there. I assume he stayed on last night since Bruce was seriously helping out and Paul had already come in for the day. Now they know Dave is out for today, so is Paul.
He does some teevee work here. I think the last thing was hosting a teevee quiz show kinda thing towards the end of last year. Didn’t see it myself but he is a little more experienced than you might think:
Sorry to disagree with the rest of you, but I turned it off exactly six minutes into the show, right after the unfunny trip across the street to look at the benefit where guests hadn’t arrived yet.
Those first unfunny minutes also showed how much Paul Shaffer helped Bruce Willis the night before.
I’ll be happy to credit McEnroe for trying, but if Letterman makes it look easy, and Bruce Willis showed how hard it actually is, then McEnroe proved that not everyone should even attempt it.
Yes, he was terrible in the beginning. If he hadn’t done better with the interview(his Tom Arnold interview was good, so was his awkward chef bit), I’d have rated him lower.
I give him credit for trying to do Letterman’s stuff. He’s no pro, but did okay.
Are you talking about Paul Schafer, or is Spider’s name Paul as well? The guy I’m mentioning played the character “Spider” on Goodfells, or at least he looked a lot like him. He was in the back with Mcaully Caulkin.
Michael Imperioli (sp?) is the guy you’re thinking of. He’s better known these days as “Christopher” on the Sopranos.
They were next door getting ready to do some sort of celebrity benefit, and the Letterman show sent over a camera hoping for some comedy. They didn’t find any.
