Linda Richman…..Mike Myers Stephanie…..Ana Gasteyer
Linda Richman: Welcome to “Coffee Talk”. I’m your host, Linda Richan – Richman. Sorry. I’m still filling in for Paul Baldwin, who never despite all the treatments had a recurrence of shpilkes in his genecktageesoink. I just spent a few weeks in Boca visiting him, and knock on wood, pooh pooh pooh, his color is good, his spirits are high, and God bless the man – he can still beat me in Canasta flying boltiks, so go figure. Today I have a very special guest, she lives in the city in a rent-controlled junior 4 with a terrorist and a doorman, please welcome my cousin Stephanie. How are you?
Stephanie: Thank you, Linda. I also have a window in the kitchen, and heat and utilities are included.
Linda Richman: Can you believe? Stephanie is so lucky she has a horseshoe up her ass!
Stephanie: I believe in karma. You give, and then you get.
Linda Richman: Tell them what happened.
Stephanie: Years ago…
Linda Richman: True story.
Stephanie: I was on the game show “Sale of the Century” hosted by Joe Garagiola. P.S., long story short, I won a week in Florida at the Fountain Blue Hotel, and a lifetime supply of Jean Nate.
Linda Richman: Not too shabby.
Stephanie: No, but here’s the clinker: they give you the lifetime supply all at once. I had to get a room at Manhattan Mini-Storage for 50 bucks a month. I’m the only schmuck in New York City who pays rent for body splash!
Linda Richman: You know what, you should sell that stuff and buy yourself something nice with the money, like a studded piece of jewelry, or a gorgeous outfit, or no offense, but do you know how many skin tacks you can get removed for that kind of money? It’s a [speaks unintelligible Yiddish].
Stephanie: Exactly.
Linda Richman: So, Stephanie and I are getting ready for Monday night, because she’s throwing an Oscar party.
Stephanie: It’s not a party. I’m just gonna get a platter of franks in a blanket from Zabar’s and some butter rolls.
Linda Richman: Ach, I love butter rolls. They’re like… well, they’re like butter. Anyway, we have lots of predictions to make and many disappointments to share. To begin with, three of the top most talented women in show business were not nominated: Debbie Reynolds, Ma-donger, and yes, Barbara Streisand. It makes me very emotional. I’m getting a little verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves. I’ll give you a topic: Rhode Island is neither a rhode nor an island. There, I feel better. I feel better.
Stephanie: Wait; I almost forgot the other one that wasn’t nominated, that Courtney Love. She’s a singer too.
Linda Richman: Ach. Hey, she looks like my pupik. Also, may I just say something, what was with that movie “The English Patient”?
Stephanie: I liked it.
Linda Richman: What’s to like? That movie made me feel like The Mental Patient. And don’t get me started with the actors’ names. Ray-ph Fiennes? I don’t think so. It’s Ralph, honey. What, do you think I buy my Polo by Ray-ph Lauren? And what was with her name – Kristen Scott Thomas? Girl, boy, boy. Who are you? Pick a gender!
Stephanie: I’ll tell you what I didn’t get – that “Secrets and Lies” movie. That movie was so long, my bangs grew in before it was over.
Linda Richman: You want to hear a secret and a lie? The movie’s great. Anyway, the good news is that Billy Crystal is hosting this year, who I love!
Stephanie: Oh, me too! He was on my airplane once. He had a vegetarian meal and a Diet Pepsi.
Linda Richman: See, I told you she was lucky! She gets Billy Crystal on her plane! I get the Snapple lady! I have no muzzle! Anyway, as a tribute to Billy Crystal and the entire Academy Awards, Stephanie and I have worked on a little number. Hit it!
[piano plays]
Both: “It’s a wonderful night for Oscar, Oscar, Oscar, Who will win?”
Linda Richman: And our predictions are…
Stephanie: “You’ll win the Oscar, it’s no contest, Lauren You were without a doubt the best Baccall!”
[to the tune of “Big Spender”]
Linda Richman:“The minute he walks on the screen, I could tell Bill Macy would get an Oscar, Not Paul Fargo! Hey, Bill Macy! You… were also great on Marge!”
Stephanie: He was the best.
[to the tune of “Old MacDonald”]
Stephanie:“Frances McDormand made a film, O-S-C-A-R! It’s called Fargo and she was great, O-S-C-A-R!”
[to the tune of “Papa Can You Hear Me”]
Linda Richman: “Tom Cruise, can you hear me? Tom Cruise, can you see me? Tom Cruise, can you hear them call your name?”
[to the tune of “One”]
Stephanie: “That… movie about the pianist, Really made me cry and laugh!”
Linda Richman:“I… wasn’t even grossed out, When he took a crap in the bath!”
Both:“Oy vey, this movie is so fine, And we even saw it online! And the winner is Stahl!”
Linda Richman: Okay, that’s all the time we have! I’m Linda Richman! This is my cousin Steffy!

Colin Quinn: Thank you, Norm. Thank you. Lastyear at this time, I told you about some of the St.Patrick’s Day hazards. But it’s more than wearinggreen and punching people in the face. It’s supposedto honor Saint Patrick, a thirteenth century saint whowore green and punched people in the face. I rememberone year, I went to the parade, I got all dressed upin the religious garb of the holiday: the buttons, thederby, the shillelagh, and I had the half pint ofSouthern Comfort, all the trappings of New York,enfant terrible, whatever. [to Norm who has saidnothing] What? [drinks from his cup]

Norm MacDonald: [to the camera] It’s live TV,folks, I’m sorry about–
Colin Quinn: You never knocked over a cupbefore, Norm? We had free wine backstage after thething, so…
Norm MacDonald: What do you mean, “we”? Who’s”we”?
Colin Quinn: We, we. We, me, you. Look … It’sridiculous. Now, I gotta hear from Lorne Michaels, youknow, “This is not the way we do it on the show. Yougotta play by the rules.” And Jim Downey, “Colin,that’s not how we do things.” I wanted to talk aboutSt. Patrick’s Day. And they made me cut out the partthat I was – needed to explain to you people.

Joanna Pacitti:… a day away! [yellingat the guards as they try to drag her off] Get off me!Get off me! I’m the real Annie! Get off me, you fatbastard! Get off me, you fat bastard!
[Joanna and the guards exit, applause – During thestruggle, Joanna’s lit cigarette pops out of her mouthand lands on the desk, right next to Norm who focusesall his attention on it. He picks it up and looksaround for a way to dispose of it. When it becomesclear that no one is coming to take the burning buttaway, he finally holds it casually and addresses thecamera.]

Last year’s NumberOne — “West Coast Rap Star”… [Norm glances aroundas if expecting another screw-up] … has been knockedout of the top spot by the new most dangerous job inAmerica: “East Coast Rap Star.” [mild reaction fromthe crowd] … Imagine if it had all gone well![applause as Norm grins and nods]

Eddie Lewis: And I’m Eddie Lewis.
Don West: And we still have another 4 hours to go on our “Star Wars” bonanza.
Eddie Lewis: That is right, Don. And this “Star Wars” merchandise is been flying out the door like crazy!
Don West: Certainly has. Unfortunately, we are completely sold out of the Jawa’s ashtrays.
Eddie Lewis: That is beautiful! Really missed out on that one!
[Close-up on the Jawa ashtray. Four action figures Jawas glued to an ashtray]
Caption: Sold out.
Don West: But we are sold out of those.
Eddie Lewis: No more Jawa ashtrays but we still have fifty “Star Wars” baseball cards collection left.
Don West: And that includes the “Chewbacca if he played for the Brewers card”.
[Close-up on baseball card of Chewbacca dressed as a baseball player holding a bat]
Eddie Lewis: That is lovely.
Don West: He’s a second base man there.
Eddie Lewis: Yeah, beautiful item.
Don West: That is a good looking card.
Eddie Lewis: That’s a winner. Right now we want to bring out an item which we have only one of.
Don West: Now, this is pretty much the ultimate “Star Wars” collectible.
Eddie Lewis: By far.
Don West: Jeff, why don’t you bring out the item? If you could.
Eddie Lewis: Yeah, what do we got here?
[Jeff enters with a handcuffed man wearing a black hood over his head. Jeff wears a similar mustache]

Don West: Sure. You can make him interact with your own “Star Wars” action figures also.
Eddie Lewis: Yeah, you can just have him stand on the lawn and wave at the neighbors!
Mark Hamill: Now, wait a minute, you guys, that wasn’t part of the agreement. I specifically said “No waving”.
Don West: And this is not a counterfeit Hamill.
Eddie Lewis: Real McCoy.
Don West: I know last year we sold a Hamill that turned out to be a Bruce Boxleitner.
Eddie Lewis: Oh, yeah. But, we assure you this is the Mark Hamill!

Caller: Yeah, I’m thinking about buying this guy but, um, I wanna be sure he’s the real thing. Can you make him say “Luke, I am your father”.
Mark Hamill: W-wait a minute, caller. Now, I didn’t say that. Darth Vader said it.
Don West: Just play ball, Hamill.
Eddie Lewis: Just do it.
Don West: Just play ball.
Mark Hamill: All right.[deep voice]”Luke, I am your father.”
Don West: That’s nice.

Eddie Lewis: THAT WAS YOUR LOSS!
Don West: Ok, people out there may be worried because they’re wondering “where are we gonna keep a Mark Hamill?”
Eddie Lewis: Yeah, he’s easy to care for. Go ahead, tell them, Mark.
Mark Hamill: Well, I can live in the basement. I mainly eat bread and apples.
Don West: That sounds like no hassle at all!
Eddie Lewis: No problems!
Don West: Now, think about it—you can ask Luke Skywalker all the questions you always wanted to ask him.
Eddie Lewis: Yeah, like this–hey, Luke, is C3PO gay?
Mark Hamill: Uh, no. He was a robot.
Don West: Or like this—hey, Luke, what was Yoda really like?
Eddie Lewis: Great question.
Mark Hamill: What are you talking about? He was a puppet.
Don West: OF THE EMPIRE?! NO WAY!
Eddie Lewis: I NEVER KNEW THAT!
[telephone rings]

Don West: Hello, caller. Caller?
[Caller over the phone]
Caller: Make him say “I love the smell of napalm in the morning”.

Mark Hamill: “I love the smell of napalm in the morning.”
Caller: [laughs]Say “sit on it” like Fonzie.
Mark Hamill: “Hey, sit on it!”
Caller: Say “I’m kissing your neck and you’re my love toy”
Don West: Ok, caller. We gotta move on.[hangs up]
Eddie Lewis: Ok, listen up people, listen to me. Forget that he’s Luke Skywalker. This is a human being! We’re selling it! Here!
Don West: Hell, you can make him lift heavy objects for you.
Eddie Lewis: Or you can make him dust the house in a French-maid outfit.
[telephone rings]
Don West: Hello, caller. What’s your name? And where are you from?
Caller: This is Harrison Ford. Hollywood.
Don West: Oh, wow.
Mark Hamill: Hey, Harrison! Thank God!
Harrison Ford: Hey, you guys already stuck me with the Bruce Boxleitner. Had to put him to sleep. Are you sure that’s really Hamill?
Don West: We guarantee it!

Juan Peron: [ pulls microphone away ] What the hell are you doing, Generalissimo?
General: I don’t know. It just came out.
Juan Peron: Just came out? [ to crowd ] Heh heh heh, I’ll be with you in a second. [ turns back to General ] Look, I appointed you my general because of your strength, your cunning, your tactical brilliance.
General: And my singing voice!
Juan Peron: No! No, not your singing voice! It has nothing to do with your voice! These people don’t need singing. You know what they need? They need an iron fist! They must be treated ruthlessly! They’re filthy, stinking animals! [ to revolting crowd ] Not you people, the other people! You, I, I like! [ to General ] Okay, look, I will speak, and no singing! People of Buenos Aires!

General: “Run it through her!”
General and Eva Peron: “Hello, Buenos Aires!”
Juan Peron: Okay, okay. Guess what? You’re not a general any more!
General: I’m confused..
Juan Peron: You’re confused? I’m confused, how did you all learn to sing together like that?
Soldier #1: I was just listening to what he was singing, and then imitated him! I’ll show you. Generalissimo, sing a little more.
General: Hello, Buenos Aires!”
General, Eva, Soldiers: [ singing in chorus ] “I’m new I wanna say I’m a little stuck on you You’ll be stuck on me too.”
[ Soldier #4 prances on ledge; Juan pushes him off ]
Juan Peron: Now, people, we have to work together on this!
General: [ points downward ] Oh, my God! An uprising.
Juan Peron: Yes! Yes! An uprising, of course, with the singing! [ pushes climbing protester off the balcony ] Back, you stinking animal! You stinking, filthy animal! Not you, people! Him! He’s the stinking, filthy..
[ Villagers bust onto the balcony, pointing guns ]
Villager: This is the end, Peron! Any last words?
Juan Peron: Uh.. Yes! Yes! [ feeble attempt to sing ] “Don’t cry for me, Argentina!” Ha ha! People, help me sing a little bit here! I have no musical.. accompaniment. Come on, everybody! Let’s sing! Let’s sing a song!

Brendan Boyle: Indeed. Welcome to “The Brendan Boyle Show”, a program for leprechauns and people who care about leprechauns. Before we begin, I’d like to thank all of you’s for your cards and letters of suport, but now it’s official – I lost my job as the Lucky Charms spokesman. So, to the folks at General Mills, you can take your yellow moons, blue diamonds and green clovers, and shove them up your ruby-red arse! Now, tonight we are devoting the entire program to a very special guest. His new book – Limericks and Laughs – is a big sensation all over the world. So, ladies and gentlemen, without further ado: the master of the limerick, Wee Ned Clancy.
[ cut to Wee Ned Clancy sitting atop a giant mushroom ]
Wee Ned Clancy: Ah, thank you, thank you very much, Love! I feel like writing another topic, so let’s go into Wee. Would someone please shout out the name of a place, a town, a city, or a country?
[ audience members murmur ]
Male Leprechaun: Tahiti!
Wee Ned Clancy: Tahiti..
There once was a gal from Tahiti Who cooked for her husband, baked ziti. He took just a bite His face turned all white And said, “That sauce is too meaty!”
[ leprechauns applaud ]
Oh, thank you! That was an easy one. Can I get another one, please?
Female Leprecaun: Poughkeepsie!
Wee Ned Clancy: Poughkeepsie.. [ thinking ]
There once was a man from Poughkeepsie Who mistakenly married a gypsy When cooking beef stew, She said, “Put rum in there, too. And, boy, you’re making me tipsy!”
[ leprechauns relunctantly clap ]
Poughkeepsie, that was a little trouble. But you can do better, give me another.
Black Leprechaun: Aye! Santo Domingo.
Wee Ned Clancy: Santo Domingo.. aye.
“There once was a lady from Santo Domingo Who was wed to a young man who liked to play bingo She cooks him a dinner But it wasn’t a winner It was roast beef that tasted like dingo!”
[ laughs, but gets no response from his audience ]
For those of you who don’t know, the dingo is a wild Australian dog, and believe me, it’s no culinary delight. Now, another place name, please?
Female Leprechaun #2: I don’t have a place, but Ijust wanted to know why all the limericks involve a woman cooking for her husband, and the food not tasting good?
Wee Ned Clancy: Well, saints preserve us. That’s not me intention at all. It must have been sheer coincedence that the theme is so strikingly similar. Now, to make it up to you, here’s a little limerick that I’ve been working on that might change your outlook a bit:
“There once was a whore in the crowd Who spoke foolish nonsense aloud. And, after the show the star came up to her row and gave her a beating that would make Jack Dempsey proud!”
Male Leprechaun #2: Now, look now, Wee Ned! I won’t be letting you talk to me wife like that! I don’t care who you are! And, besides, that last little rhyme had too many syllables!
Wee Ned Clancy: Oh, you don’t like a lot of syllables, do ya? Well, I’ve got a brand new one that’ll simply blow you away with wit and syllabic brevity! You ready?
Male Leprechaun #2: [ unsure ] Uh.. yeah..
Wee Ned Clancy: “There once was a stupid leprechaun, married to a loudmouth idiot woman of a different race!, who interrupted Wee Ned with her little sanciomonious horsecrap! But Wee Ned was happy, ’cause he’s making much more money from this one appearance than this moron couple will make in their entire miserable lives!”
[ a little tiny leprechaun offers a standing ovation for Ned – even the interracial leprechaun couple join in ]
Thank you!
Brendan Boyle: Well, there you have it, then. Thanks for tuning in to this very special episode. Join us next week, when our guests will be the Keebler Elf and David Spade. ‘Til then – up the Irish!

1970’s ADULT FILM MUSIC PLAYS
A montage of photographs shows DON WONG & REGGIE OWENS posing with attractive adult films actresses from the 1970’s.
Announcer (V/O): Don Wong and Reggie Owens were two of the biggest porn stars in the 70’s. But their increasing disgust with the lifestyle led them to turn their back on the porn industry in an attempt to lead decent, honorable lives. This is their story… Wong & Owens — Ex-Porn Stars.
SUPER: Wong & Owens Ex-Porn Stars.
INT. OFFICE — MORNING
Don & Wong stand side-by-side. Both dressed in 1970’s clothing.
Don Wong: Man, we got to get it right this time. One more screw-up and the employment agency’s going to drop us.
Reggie Owens: Man, we got to get it right. I’m never going back to porn movies! Never!
MR. FOX, early 40’s, slicked back hair with blazer and polo shirt, ENTERS.
Mr. Fox: Good morning gentleman. It’s nice to meet you. You come highly recommended. I have only one piece of advice for you, guys — I am a born again Christian and I don’t want to force my beliefs on you. I expect you to behave in a decent Christian manner while working in the office. Now Sarah, will show you guys what you’ll be doing…
ENTER SARAH, early 30’s, brown business suit.
Sarah: Sure, sure. Hi, I’m Sarah. Don’t mind Mr. Fox… He does that all the time. So…
Sarah points to Don then Reggie.
Sarah: Don and… Reggie?
Reggie Owens: Yeah. Reginald Owens.
Sarah: I’m Sarah. Don, why don’t you start by sharpening those pencils for Mr. Fox? And Reggie, you come with me.
Don moves to a desk to sharpen pencils. Sarah leads Reggie to another desk. She and Reggie pick each up an envelope.
Sarah: Reggie, you’ll be stuffing these envelopes with our monthly billing requests. And when you stuff it, just lick it, and press it firmly.
Reggie Owens: Like this?
Reggie licks the envelope incorrectly. Sarah chuckles.
Sarah: No, no. Don’t be afraid to get it really wet.
Sarah licks her envelope in a correct manner.
Reggie Owens: Oh I like to get it wet.
PORN MUSIC BEGINS. Reggie starts to unbutton the lower buttons on his shirt.
Sarah: What?
A RECORD SCRATCH OFF SCREEN
Reggie Owens: I mean the envelopes. I lick envelopes really good.
Sarah: All right. I’m going to see how your friends doing.
Sarah trails off while Reggie licks envelopes. Don holds an electric pencil sharpener and inspects every angle. Sarah comes to his side.
Don Wong: Yo ma’am – I can’t work this doo-hickey over here.
Sarah takes the sharpener away from Don, who takes a seat.
Sarah: Here let me help you. Don’t be afraid to stick it all the way in there.
Sarah inserts a pencil into the sharpener.
Sarah: Go deep and hard. In and out.
PORN MUSIC RESUMES
Don rises from his seat, unzips his bell bottoms and unbuttons his top shirt buttons.
Don Wong: Yeah I’m going to go in and out.
Sarah: What are you doing!?
RECORD SCRATCH O/S
Don Wong: Nothing. This is all I know. The pencils…
Don takes a seat and starts sharpening pencils.
Don Wong: I got it.
Sarah scurries over to Reggie, who’s licking envelopes.
Sarah: Your friend is weird. How are the envelopes coming?
Reggie Owens: Pretty good.
Sarah: No Reggie.
Sarah picks up an envelope.
Sarah: Get your tongue on there really good and just wiggle back and forth — like this.
Sarah wiggles her tongue fast on the adhesive area. Reggie rises from his seat and grabs hold of Sarah. His force moves Sarah to walk backward toward the center of the office.
PORN MUSIC RESUMES
Reggie Owens: I’ll go back and forth all night. I’m the wiggle king.
Sarah: What are you doing?
Don joins Reggie. Reggie’s chest’s exposed and Don’s unzipping his bell-bottoms.
Both: We like to wiggle it.
Sarah: Why!!?? Stop it!!
Mr. Fox bolts from his office.
Mr. Fox: What the hell is going on here!?
RECORD SCRATCH O/S
Both: We’re sorry! We’re sorry!
Don Wong: This is all we know.
Mr. Fox: Owens in my office! You too, Don! Pronto!
Sarah leaves. Don & Reggie follow Mr. Fox into his office.
INT. MR FOX’S OFFICE
Mr. Fox seats himself at his desk. Don & Reggie take seats across from him.
Mr. Fox: What was that all about!?
Don Wong: Sir, I’m going to level with you. Me and Reggie here… back in the 70’s; we did adult films, man.
Don Wong: You got to believe us, sir. We’re just trying to work things out.
Mr. Fox: I’m going to let you boys in on a little secret. In the early 70’s I myself used to work in adult films. You may remember me as Captain Monster Rod Von Huge-En-Stein?
Reggie Owens: You’re Von Huge-En-Stein!?
Don Wong: Porn royalty!
Mr. Fox: You’re no slouches yourselves. You’re Wong and Owens. I know it’s hard to forget about the life and I sympathize with your struggles. But there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. And now, you can put the life behind you.
Don Wong: I can dig it.
All share a 1970’s handshake. A scantily clad FRENCH MAID ENTERS.
French Maid: I’m here for the cleaning. Where do you want me to start?
Mr. Fox: Hold back fellas — Huge-En-Stein is back!!
Norm MacDonald: Thank you, I’m Norm MacDonaldand now the fake news. Our top story tonight:
[Photo of Kenneth Starr] In a startling reversal,Kenneth Starr announced yesterday that he would NOTresign as Whitewater Special Prosecutor, and that nowhe intends to stay on until the investigation iscompleted. This new development apparently did nottrouble a confident President Clinton [Photo of BillClinton] who still plans to resume making conjugalvisits to Susan MacDougal. [Photo of handcuffed SusanMacDougal]
[Side-by-side photos of Madeline Albright and BorisYeltsin] This week in Moscow, Secretary of StateMadeline Albright and Russian President Boris Yeltsinsat down to discuss the delicate issue of NATOexpansion. On emerging from what was described as atense meeting, Ms. Albright said, quote, “For this Itraveled five thousand miles, to meet with somedrunken meshuggah? On my worst enemy I wouldn’t wishthis.”
[Photo of John Huang] Meanwhile, the Indogate scandalcontinues to widen. Internal Democratic NationalCommittee records now show that fundraiser John Huangwas responsible for bringing two Chinese businessmento the White House for a $180,000 “coffee” with thePresident. That works out to $90,000 for a cup ofcoffee, although, in the President’s defense, thecoffee was Starbucks. … [mild reaction from crowd soNorm explains] Starbucks is a little pricey.
[Photo of Janet Reno] Also this week in Washington,several prominent Democrats joined Republicans inpleading with Attorney General Janet Reno toinvestigate fundraising abuses. And also toshave.
[Photo of Fred Goldman] At a book signing in New Yorkthis week, Fred Goldman once again offered to forgetthe millions owed to him by O. J. Simpson, if he wouldsimply admit to the Brentwood murders. [Photo ofsmiling O. J. Simpson] A visibly annoyed O. J.responded, “Why in the world would I do that, when Ihave no intention of paying you anyway?”
[Graphic of dollar bill and commercial airliner withtext reading PRICE WAR] After American Airlinesdecided this week to cut fares by fifty percent, thefour other major airlines said they would match thebargain ticket prices. Also fighting to staycompetitive, discount carrier ValuJet [ValuJetcorporate logo] announced that it will now acceptstolen credit cards and bad checks.
[Photo of masked pop singer Michael Jackson] MichaelJackson has reportedly stepped right into his new roleas a dad, spending many hours a day with his newbornson, doing the changing, the burping, even thebreast-feeding, so … That’s nice when a – when afellow does that, you know?
In Wisconsin, students at Menomonee High School aredesperately fighting efforts by the politicallycorrect to change their team nickname, “the Indians.”Already opponents of the name have rejected thestudents’ first compromise, “the Drunken Indians.” …They feel that’s almost worse in a way, youknow?
[Photo of a cow] “Bessie the Cow,” the most famousbovine citizen of San Antonio, Texas, is now listed in”Ripley’s Believe It or Not” after giving birth to hertenth set of calf twins. Bessie also made “Ripley’s”under the category “Least Original Name for a Cow.”
[Photo of Jack Kevorkian] And, finally, in medicalnews there are reports that suicide doctor JackKevorkian is considering retirement. As Kevorkian putit: “I always said I’d quit the day it stopped beingfun.”
Norm MacDonald: Now, ladies and gentlemen, themoment we’ve all been waiting for here — the King ofAll Media, Howard Stern!
[Cheers and applause as we pan over to radiopersonality Howard Stern seated next to Norm. Theyshake hands.]
Howard Stern: Thank you, Norm. Thank you. Thankyou. Thank you. You know – you know, a lot of peopleare wondering what I’m doin’ here tonight and quitefrankly I’m wondering what I’m doin’ here as well.Actually, I’m, uh, on the road promoting my new movie– it’s opening up March 7th, it’s called “PrivateParts” — I want to invite all of America to come seeit. That’s what I’m doin’ here ’cause, quite frankly,I – I, uh… [Norm chuckles] I didn’t want to comehere tonight.
Norm MacDonald: You didn’t want to comehere?
Howard Stern: Well, I’m here under the guisethat I’m the, actually, the, uh– What would you callme?
Norm MacDonald: You’re the televisioncritic!
Howard Stern: Television critic! What a lamepremise. But, uh, yes, I’m the Television Critic and Imust tell you that I’m here to review Saturday NightLive. And I’m here to say that I think that ninetypercent of Saturday Night Live sucks. Uh, the sketchesare kind of weak, I think we’ll all agree. I think theonly good thing on Saturday Night Live is Norm –quite frankly, that’s why I’m here. [applause, Normgrins] He loves when I say that.
Norm MacDonald: No, no, I – I feel, like, I – Ifeel bashful when you say that.
Howard Stern: [not convinced] Oh, really?! So,anyway, no, Norm is, uh – Norm is the fun aspect ofthis thing and I– You know, they even asked me to doa couple of sketches…
Norm MacDonald: [encouragingly] Yeah,yeah!
Howard Stern: … and I refused. Well, itdidn’t go well. I suggested a couple of sketches. Sowhat I said to them was, tell you what, you haveKathie Lee and Regis. And they’re talkin’ about me andthey’re saying bad stuff about me and, you know,Kathie Lee’s like “I can’t believe he has a moviecomin’ out and all this and – and he makes fun of Codyand calls him the Incubus and he says I hope Codygrows up to be like a gay senator or something…” andit’s – it’s all wrong so I figured, while they’rebad-mouthing me, I come in disguise as Fartman, mysuperhero character, and I just blow Kathie Lee’s headoff. And this would have been a great sketch. [cheers]
Norm MacDonald: Yeah.
Howard Stern: You know what I mean? But theytold me that I couldn’t do it because they didn’t haveenough time to make, uh, Kathie Lee’s head explode,you know. So, then I said, what if we do a sketchwhere, me as Fartman, I come into Elizabeth Taylor’shospital room and while I’m in there I just blow thattumor right out of her head. And she’s in a coma andthe tumor just lands in a chocolate box and then Liz,when she wakes up, grabs the tumor thinking it’schocolate and eats it. Be a phenomenal sketch! But,anyway, they wouldn’t let me do any of this outrageousstuff, so I’m here to behave myself basically and justpromote my movie. So what I thought I’d do tonight,Norm, is give everybody a first look at a clip from mymovie, “Private Parts.”
Norm MacDonald: That’d be cool.
Howard Stern: This is me, take a look at this,this is me when I’m a young disc jockey. I looked alot different. I had a very geeky hairstyle, asopposed to my Louis XIV look that I have now. And itwas the first time while I was in Hartford and acelebrity actually came on to me. I mean, she invitedme up to her hotel room and I want to show that rightnow, if you don’t mind. So take a look at this clip,this is from “Private Parts” the movie, March 7th. Goahead.
[“Private Parts” movie clip: in a hotel room, abig-haired sexy starlet in a short sparkling dressescorts young Howard Stern to a sofa.]

Fred Norris: I guess she forgot to close thedoor.
Young Howard Stern: She’s a Hollywood actress,they have a lot on their mind.
[Returning from the clip, we find Norm and Howardpeering at the off screen monitor and sevenbikini-clad women making out with each other behindthe WU desk.]
