Alec Baldwin coming up with Craig Ferguson, who just did
an extremely funny dialogue, centering mostly around Haggard and his "deep tissue" crystal meth massages with a 47 year old male prostitute. "I had it in my mouth, but I didn't inhale"

stuff like that

he also did a bit on the nukes and the end of fish

every time I've seen him (not that often), he's been very funny, and his occasional "Bush drunk" clips, where he slows down chimpspeech, are hysterical.

wonder if he and Baldwin will talk politics

Edited on Sat Nov-04-06 01:11 AM by Gabi Hayes
''sweaty gay sex and drugs with a male hooker''

playing clip of him trying to lie his way out of gay entanglements.

showing a picture of mike jones: "Hey! That's the guy from...my penis!"

8. Oh, my GOD! he just played the best clip of Haggard:
Edited on Sat Nov-04-06 01:14 AM by Gabi Hayes
"I know what you DID last night. If you pay me a thousand dollars, I won't tell your WIFE!" extreme closeup of him saying this, with the crowd at his church (he's sermonizing here) exploding in applause.

not to be missed....hope it's up somewhere....one of the most ironic things I've seen in quite awhile

9. I saw your post just in time to catch it!!!
Thanks. I love Alec Baldwin and any other famous person who uses their fame for good causes. (Besides politics, Baldwin does lots of good stuff for animals.)

11. Have you read his novel? It's fabulous! One of the most
truly original voices I've read in a long time. AND, it's hilarious.

13. a HA!
A gallery of grotesques slogs through the sewers of the entertainment industry toward redemption in this exhilarating debut novel from the host of The Late Late Show. Leading the pack are Fraser, a Scottish "phony TV evangelist... drunken, selfish media prick... gossip and sot" who has been disgraced in a sex scandal; his cancer-stricken boyhood pal, George; vapid sit-com star Leon; and Leon's 300-pound, sexually perverted Svengali brother, Saul. They make their separate but linked ways through a world populated by snake handlers, serial killers, dead-eyed whores and hack studio executives pushing formulaic action films, while they take hallucinatory side trips. The sprawling tale, with plenty of Scottish backstory, casts a jaundiced eye on media debaucheries and petty vanities, throwing in miscellaneous riffs on everything from Starbuck's to escort ads, but Ferguson is particularly sharp—and funny—on Hollywood proper. For every satire of organized religion or a Vegas that's "as glitzy as a trailer park at Christmas," however, he delivers an injunction to "help others" or an ode to Paris in springtime that somehow sounds fresh. The result is a tour de force of cynical humor and poignant reverie, a caustic yet ebullient picaresque that approaches the sacred by way of the profane.

17. You know I've listened to a lot of comedians
and he's always such a relief because he's creative as hell. I always get the idea he could just keep going. :)

18. exactly...did you hear his monologue tonight? he seems often
to be just making stuff up as he goes along. whether he does, or not, I can't tell, which is a good thing.

wonder what he was like when he was drinking.....

states, though, depending upon how clear one maintains at other times, so that said states can be transferred into usable contexts.
