Yeah, the Box O' Thrills.  The night they had the colored plastic slikies
was great since he had to cut the bottoms off with garden shears and leave
the rest dangling there.

OH!  Someone else I just thought would be nice to take along would be
Bailey from camera 3.  "I'm thankful for the smooth ride and excellent
handling of the new Buick Skylark."  And maybe Barry from camera 2 so Dave
could pick on him.  Heheh.

Oh, I see (duh), there was no 50s Dave show. 

Thanks for all who answered me. Don't know how I've managed to miss
Dave's references to this (haha) show. Must have been channel surfing
over to Arsenio at the time.

Speaking of Arsenio....anyone heard what will become of his show? In
Cleveland it's currently on CBS 12 midnight to 1 AM EST. I'm rather neutral
about AH (except for the fact that we Clevelanders must stick together),
but he often has excellent guests. I often slip over to CBS when Dave
has one of the lamer musicians or bands playing to peek at Jean Claude,
laugh at Bobcat, or marvel at Arsenio's wardrobe (I'll be HE knows
where the wardrobe department is).

Well, I've reconsidered my decision for now.  I've decided to do the FAQ
for a while longer.  Sorry for being so wishy-washy.  But things have
really lightened up over the last couple of days and it doesn't look like
it's going to get bad again any time soon.  So, for now, I'll keep the FAQ.

I noticed that too.  I wondered why nobody said anything after about it or
if nobody heard it or what.  On the whole, a much less satisfying
experience than with Dave.  (Goes without saying, of course)

Seemed more embarrased than agitated.  But that was about the funniest damn
Tonight Show with Jay Leno I've ever seen.  I still have it on tape it was

Dave knew what was up!  "sugar substitute!" what an appropriate comment.
If you've ever seen anyone tweaking on speed, you'd recognize the babbling,
giggling at themselves, fascination with lights and sounds and the dead
giveaway, Dry Mouth.  'course she could have been stoned,but she was way
too talkative and fast for that, in my opinion.

In the Salt Lake City market, all the nightly news' end at 10:35 instead of 10:30 (central
and mountain) and they have been taking 35 minutes for well over a decade.  This won't be
changing no matter what the network says.  In fact, I was so use to it that I couldn't
figure out why everyone was making a bit deal when it was announced that The Tonight Show
would be coming on 5 minutes later...

I agree, Dave's misprounounciations of guest and staff names is somewhat
common, but you must realize the humor behind it.  Do you think Hal Gurtner
(instead of Gurnee) is a mistake?  How about when he adds a title to a guest's
name like K-Mar, the DISCOUNT magician.  If he does miss a name, it's probably
on purpose, if not, he'll make good humour out of it.  That's where i feel the
difference is, Leno would just be embarrased for mispronouncing it, and move
on.
