Talk show host David Letterman once had the band Charliedeth on as well as singer Tom Waits on his show on the same night. He attempted to introduce the two musicians to each other by saying “Waits, Watts. Watts, Waits.” The bit went over about as well as the time he introduced news anchor Linda Yu to actor Brandon Soo Hoo. ---

David Letterman actually founded the singing group **The Lettermen** , but was given the boot because he couldn’t sing. ---

The story of David Letterman being a founding member of **The Lettermen** is merely an urban legend. **The Lettermen** were actually a trio of postal carriers from Nevada who started singing together on weekends for fun, and eventually made a career out of it… but they still worked for the Post Office until they had completed enough time of service to have vested their federal pensions. _ **-“BB”-** _ ---

**The Vested Pensions** were an oldies group. Their performances were notoriously lacking in energy and never really found an audience. Their name did inspire the name of a bird whose coloration reminded some of a three-piece suit: the _vested penguin_. ---

Burgess Meredith often said that playing The Penguin on _Batman_ was the greatest dramatic experience of his career, and far superior to his role in, say, _Of Mice and Men._ Frank Gorshin always maintained he liked Burgess best in the Rocky movies. Tim Curry did say he considered Burgess briefly for playing the role of Rocky in RHPS, but it might have been too camp. ---

During the filming of Sharon Stone’s “leg crossing” scene in _Basic Instinct_, three other actors, an assistant cameraman, and a production caterer all died from spontaneous human combustion. ---

Sharon Stone’s “leg crossing” scene in _Basic Instinct_ has become so well known that movie makers have been alluding to and spoofing it since that movie’s initial release. Movies that feature their own version of that scene include _Fatal Instinct_, _Basic Instinct 2_, _National Lampoon’s Loaded Weapon_, _The Flintstones Viva Rock Vegas_, _Uncle Joe’s Country Chitlins Ranch_, _Deadpool 2_, _Uncle Joe’s Country Chitlins Ranch II, Revenge of the Crawdad Daddy_, _Deadly Encounter: The Piranhas_, _Star Trek: A JJ Abrams Joint_, _Hot Shots Part Deux_, _Happytime Murders_, _BoogerBurgers III, the Return of Snotcho Cheese_, _Wrestlemania: The Movie_, _Amadeus_, _Woody Allen’s My Love Interest is Conspicuously Younger_, _Hail to the Chimp_, _Winter Garden_, _Winter Garden II, The Wintering_, _Pride and Prejudice (2005)_, and _Antz_. ---

Donald J. Trump’s scenes in _Uncle Joe’s Country Chitlins Ranch II_ and _Wrestlemania: The Movie_ have been removed in post-post-production. In the first movie he was replaced with Chuck Norris, and in the second with Sharon Stone. Coincidence, or QAnon conspiracy connection? ---

Pixar engineers have been working on using AI techniques for post-post-production. Experimentally, the role of Kevin Spacey in _The Usual Suspects_ has been replaced in post-post-production by Orson Bean. The ethical and legal implications, however, are daunting – except of course for replacing Donald Trump by anyone or anything, which is fine with everybody. ---

Chris Columbus – ever the “talent” 🙄 – will be excising Donald Trump from all prints of, “Home Alone 2,” leaving just his topcoat floating down the hall and addressing Kevin. They’ll try to work in a, “Christmas Carol,” style ghost story in post-post-post-production. ---

Using post-post production, the estate of John Derek is removing the footage of Donald Trump from the movie _Ghosts Can’t Do It_ and replacing it with Kristy Swanson. When asked about being added into the movie, Swanson, who recently declared on Twitter that if Trump is removed from _Home Alone 2_ then she should also be removed from _Ferris Bueller’s Day Off_, kind of just shrugged and said “Eh, it’s work.” ---
