Jay: Brian Williams couldn't be here because of late-breaking news."
Williams is in Afghanistan where the killing has escalated. Not much funny there. Except Brian's "Daily Nightly" blog where he bleats:
"I am living inside a containerized shipping box..... During a few hours of down time this afternoon, I quickly fell into a deep, exhaustion-fueled sleep. I was awakened by an explosion. Luckily, I've heard my share (like one every 30 seconds on the third night of the invasion in Bagdhad) and wasn't overly alarmed. I could tell it was some distance away. Only when I got to our workspace tonight was I told it was a "Controlled Det" in military parlance: a detonation conducted by the Army. I apparently slept through the announcement on the P. A. system warning that it was about to happen. Considering the violence in Kabul today, an explosion made perfect sense to me. It was also a reminder that we are in a war zone."
So here's David Gregory, who at 6'5" is too tall to live in a "containerized shipping box," substituting for Williams in Leno's Ten@Ten.
Jay asks David's last live concert. Spro Gyra. David's best prank: fake food deliveries. Last celebrity autograph: Steve Garvey. Phobia: "I don't like turbulence on an airplane. I'm kind of controlling. I don't like loss of control."
Well, THAT says a lot about Gregory's personality, no?
Jay: "What is the most unique thing about Meet The Press? A, has a host who is six feet five inches tall, B, has been on the air since 1947, or C, it's an NBC show people actually watch.
Gregory: "A."
He should've danced. Would've been funnier.
NBC is really in bad shape when they put Gregory on to boost Jay's ratings. What's next - Jay to appear on Meet the Press to boost Gregory's ratings. Naw, they have enough comedians on Meet the Press now anyway.
ReplyDeleteI heard, to get more ratings, they are going to change the name of Meet the Press to Bullshitting with the Dems.
ReplyDeleteYou know it is only a matter of time before Frank Rich and Maureen Dowd make an appearance on Leno. Good thing I haven't watched Jay or Letterman in the last several years.
ReplyDeleteWho would want to watch a 6'5 spaz dance? He looks like he has Parkinson's.
ReplyDeleteHey - is that the Steve Garvey who had to take off two weeks for hemorrhoids?
ReplyDeleteIf fake food deliveries is his best prank, what is his worst? A whoopie cushion under Mika?
ReplyDeleteBrian Williams, oh I am so confused, I thought he was going to interview Ted Williams head.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't like turbulence on a plane - just get up and walk out you silly thing you.
ReplyDeleteBrian slept through a PA announcement - where the hell did he think he was - on a plane to Minnesota?
ReplyDeleteJay had to settle for Gregory because first choice Rachel Maddow had promised Ellen Degenerate a date nite.
ReplyDeleteMarty - Ain't nothin funny about a 6'5 boy tryin to dance.
