Sara Gilbert: Thanks so much! That’s really nice of you, but listen, I don’t have a lot of time. Uh, I’m not really supposed to be here. As you may know, I left “Roseanne” this year to go to college.. and this week I’ve missed a whole bunch of classes – you know, to be here in New York for the show? I didn’t want to get in trouble, so I kinda lied. I told my professors I was sick with the flu. I think they bought it, but i’m worried one of them might tune in and see me here. So, if you guys could be kind of cool and not say anything, I’d appreciate it!
Okay, great! Uh.. oh, also, there’s something else – Roseanne and Tom don’t know that I’m at college. Uh.. you know, I told them I was leaving the show because I was sick with the flu. Don’t say anything to them, either, you know? Thanks, and you guys are great!
Oh.. my parents.. My parents don’t know anything about my going to college, or being on “Roseanne”, or anything! They think I’ve been up in my room studying for the last five years. If anyone asks about the show tonight, just tell ’em it was that Urkel kid that hosted.
Anyway, we got a great show – Counting Crows is here! And, remember, I’m very, very sick.. [ feigns cough ] So, stick around, we’ll be right back.
[ three college girls excitedly enter their dorm room following registration ]
Nancy: Wow, it’s so cool we all like the same kind of music and everything!
Lisa: Oh, yeah!
Nancy: Looks like we’re gonna be real good roommates!
Laura: But where’s our fourth roommate? I hope she comes today.
Lisa: Yeah.. um.. do you know anything about her?
Nancy: Well, we got this card, it says her name is Jennifer Kenton, and she wnet to Hermington Boy’s Academy in Cincinnati.
Lisa: Boy’s Academy? That’s a weird name..
[ a knock at the door ]
Nancy: Oh! I bet that’s her!
[ Jennifer enters – she’s really a boy ]
Jennifer: Hi! I’m your new roommate, Jennifer Kenton. Pleased to meet you!
Nancy: Uh, hi.. I’m Nancy.
Lisa: I’m Lisa.

Jennifer: Hi, Nancy.. Lisa.. Laura.. how are you? I’m really looking foreward to rooming with you this year! It’ll be fun! I can tell already!
Nancy: Great..
Jennifer: So! Whattaya say we all take a shower? It’s pretty hot out! [ all the girls decline the invitation ] Suit yourselves! I’ll just unpack! [ begins to unpack his stuff ]
Nancy: So, uh.. Jennifer..
Jennifer: Yep?
Nancy: Are you sure that you have the right room?
Jennifer: Sure, I’m sure! Wentworth Hall, Room 106! Say! I’ve got some clean towels here! I’ll just go ahead and put them in the bathroom, just in case anyone wants to take a shower! [ exits to bathroom ]
Nancy: I’m telling you – I could swear that was a guy!
Laura: Yeah, I thought we were supposed to have single-sex rooms?
[ the sound of running water can be heard from the bathroom ]
Jennifer: The shower works! In case anyone was wondering! [ re-enters room ] Hi, girlfriends! I’ll ust keep unpacking! [ continues to unpack, placing a poster of a bikin-clad woman on the posterboard ]
Nancy: Uh.. what’s that? It looks like the kind of poster a boy would put up.
Jennifer: No, no – that’s my cousin! She’s a model! I hate her, because she’s so thin! Back to unpacking! [ returns to his bag ] You know, I’m kind of short on underwear, is it okay if I borrow some of your underwear?
Laura: Well.. uh.. okay.. you want a bra, or panties?
Jennifer: Either is fine. Either one! [ thinking ] Both! How about both? [ Laura hands him a set ] Thanks! Hey.. speaking of underwear, isn’t it great that it’s just us girls here, and we can walk around in just our underwear, and not feel self-concious about it? If you want to, just go ahead – no problem here!
Nancy: [ pulls jockstrap out of Jennifer’s bag ] Uh.. is this your jockstrap, Jennifer?
Jennifer: No, no! That’s my cousin’s jockstrap! My other cousin! The one that’s a guy! How’d that get in there? That’s crazy! Hey, I’m getting hungry! How about we get out of here, and go to the dining hall? [ the girls agree with the sugestion ] Well.. we can’t go dirty! Come on, let’s take a shower!
Nancy: Hold on, Jennifer, or whatever your real name is. You can give it up, I mean, we all know you’re a man!
Lisa: Yeah, we’ve been on to you the whole time!
Jennifer: What?! [ gasps in shock ] I can’t believe you’re saying this to me! Sure, I may not be as pretty as you, or look as feminine as you, or have breasts as plump and round as your.. but my own roommates telling me I look like a man?! I’ve never been so upset! [ removes camera from bag ] And to think, I was just about to share with you, my new underwater camera that even takes pictures in the shower!
[ Candace enters ]
Candace: Hi! i’m Candace, I’m your new roommate! There was a mix-up at the housing office, but they figured it out, and here I am!
Jennifer: I think there has been a mix-up! I’m obviously not wanted here! And here’s some advice for you, Candace: watch out for this bunch! They can’t tolerate anyone even a little bit different than them! And I hope you’re not big on hygeine, because there’s no hope of ever getting them in the shower!

[Video of Bill Clinton delivering a speech] PresidentClinton opened the European summit sessions inBrussels this week and everyone agreed it went like adream. Especially, Secretary of State WarrenChristopher. [Video of Christopher dozing off.] …[Kevin slowly manipulates his pencil to make it lookas if he is shoving the eraser up Christopher’s nose,then tapping the sleeping man on the face] …
[Photo of two gigantic sumo wrestlers] The presidentalso met with Boris Yeltsin in Russia this week and–… I’m sorry. That’s the wrong picture. That’s, uh,actually Roseanne and Tom Arnold celebrating his newdeal at CBS. …
[Photo of Bill Clinton holding a saxophone] Later thatevening, Yeltsin surprised President Clinton with asaxophone and asked him to play. Clinton obliged byplaying “My Funny Valentine” and, after a few vodkas,Yeltsin played “The Beer Barrel Polka” by squeezinghis hand in his armpit. …
The president told Russians this week that the U.S. istheir “buddy.” He added that, if Russia gives up allits nuclear weapons, the U.S. will be their bestfriend. … Something to think about.

In any event, the Nancy Kerrigan story continues tofascinate America. Here with a comment is Updatecorrespondent Norm MacDonald. Norm?
[Cheers and applause as we pan over to Norm in a brownsuit.]
Norm MacDonald: Thank you. Well, uh, like allof you, I was absolutely horrified by the assault onskater Nancy Kerrigan last week. No one can possiblycondone the idea of clubbing a young woman on the kneelike that. But, on the other hand, ah, does anyonereally like figure skating? …
The person or persons responsible for this mindlessattack should be prosecuted to the fullest extent ofthe law. But it does seem like, uh, figure skating ison TV way too much. …
Now, I, for one, am beginning to feel that this brutalassault is more than an isolated incident. Our societyis rapidly falling apart. And this attack is justanother symptom. Like that, uh, Brian Boitano guy. Imean, what the hell is the story with him? …You know? If he’s such a good skater, why doesn’t hejust play hockey? …
In any case, I think it’s time that we come togetheras a society and make it clear that we’re not gonnatolerate thugs solving their problems with violence.And we’re not gonna tolerate TV executives who make uswatch hours and hours of figure skating when there aregood hockey games not even being televised! …
Now, I’m not gonna get into that age-old argument of”Which is worse? Violence or – or figure skating?” …I mean, that’s not gonna solve anything. They are bothunacceptable and they should be eliminated! …
And then maybe one day we’ll live in a world where wecan walk our streets without being terrorized and wecan watch our TVs without seein’ that Brian Boitanoguy hoppin’ around. … Thank you, Kevin.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Picard to Bridge! Get her out of here, quickly!
Patrick Stewart: I have no illusions why I’m here tonight. It’s because of “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” Well, thank you very much, but I have a confession to make. When I was first given the role of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, I pretended to take it all in my stride.. I was so cool in interviews, I claimed never to have seen the original classic Trek. But it was all an act, because, inside, I was so ecstatic.. I was delirious. You see, not only am I probably the biggest “Star Trek” fan of all time, but, well, as my friends can tell you, I am virtually an encyclopedia of “Star Trek” facts and trivia.
Well, now, for example, listen.. Here’s a fact I bet you don’t know. On the original show, the name of the spaceship was not the “Star Trek”! No, no, it was, in fact, the “Enterprise”. Now that’s true. Now, all right, here’s another one: Everyone knows that the part of Captain James M. Kirk was played by William Shiner. Then, of course, later he was to become very famous as the Six Million Dollar Man. But how many of you here know which actor played the chief medical officer, Dr. McCray, who was, of course, otherwise known as Boney? You give up, don’t you? Well that was Forest D. Kelley. Well, perhaps you knew that one, but can you name to me the ship’s other medical officer? You see, because, of course, there were two. You see, you’re stumped. You are forgetting Dr. Spock. Now you remember, right? He was the pointy-eared creature, you know? Half-human, half-volcano, and he was forever tormenting old Boney with his cold volcano logic. Alright, here’s another bit of trivia. Did you know that another “Star Trek” character, Captain Sulu, was the first black woman ever on television?
Anyway, being the “Star Trek” trivia maniac that I am, well you can imagine my feelings when I first learned that I won the role of Captain Picard. I felt a kinship, you know, with all those unforgettable legendary chartacters – Kirk, Boney, and especially Spock, and I even know… well, I wrote a note to Leonard Portnoy, but I guess he never received it. Anyway, Leonard, if you’re watching, this is for you:
“Outer Space: The Last Frontier.
These are the trips of the Star Trek Enterprise. Its five year plan calls for us to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly fly where no man has gone in space. Live long, and be happy.” [ makes a boy scout sign ]
Well, we’ve got a great show tonight! Salt N Pepa is here! Stick around, because we’ll be back!

I wanna take a minute or two, and give much respect due To the man that’s made a difference in my world And although most men are ho’s he flows on the down low Cuz I never heard about him with another girl But I don’t sweat it because it’s just pathetic To let it get me involved in that he said/she said crowd I know there ain’t nobody perfect I give props to those who deserve it And believe me, y’all, he’s worth it. So here’s to the future cuz we got through the past I finally found someone that can make me laugh (Ha ha ha) You so crazy I think I wanna have your baby.
What a man, what a man, what a man, What a mighty good man What a man, what a man, what a man, What a mighty good man What a man, what a man, what a man, What a mighty good man What a man, what a man, what a man, What a mighty good man.
My man is smooth like Barry, and his voice got bass A body like Arnold with a Denzel face He’s smart like a doctor with a real good rep And when he comes home he’s relaxed with Pep He always got a gift for me every time I see him A lot of snot-nosed ex-flames couldn’t be him He never ran a corny line once to me yet So I give him stuff that he’ll never forget He keeps me on Cloud Nine just like the Temps He’s not a fake wannabe tryin’ to be a pimp He dresses like a dapper don, but even in jeans He’s a God-sent original, the man of my dreams
Yes, my man says he loves me, never says he loves me not Tryin’ to rush me good and touch me in the right spot See other guys that I’ve had, they tried to play all that mac sh– But every time they tried I said, “That’s not it” But not this man, he’s got the right potion Baby, rub it down and make it smooth like lotion Yeah, the ritual highway to heaven From seven to seven he’s got me open like Seven-Eleven And yes, it’s me that he’s always choosin’ With him I’m never losin’, and he knows that my name is not Susan He always has heavy conversation for the mind Which means a lot to me cuz good men are hard to find.
What a man, what a man, what a man, What a mighty good man What a man, what a man, what a man, What a mighty good man What a man, what a man, what a man, What a mighty good man What a man, what a man, what a man, What a mighty good man.
D.J.: Check it out! Now, all the ladies in the house that got a good man If you got a good man, then you should understand. Ladies, say, “Ah-ah.” (Ah-ah!) Now, come on scream!
[ screams ]
Salt-N-Pepa: “My man gives real loving that’s why I call him Killer He’s not a wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am, he’s a thriller He takes his time and does everything right Knocks me out with one shot for the rest of the night He’s a real smooth brother, never in a rush And he gives me goose pimples with every single touch Spends quality time with his kids when he can Secure in his manhood cuz he’s a real man A lover and a fighter and he’ll knock a knucker out Don’t take him for a sucker cuz that’s not what he’s about Every time I need him, he always got my back Never disrespectful cuz his mama taught him that.
What a man, what a man, what a man, What a mighty good man What a man, what a man, what a man, What a mighty good man What a man, what a man, what a man, What a mighty good man What a man, what a man, what a man, What a mighty good man.”
