The humorous thing as I see it is how both of you are obviously vicitms of

Hey, Hey;

Just saw on CBS this Morning one of their hour-end blurbs...

Harry Smith, Paula Zahn, and Mark Mckewen (sp) holding a sticker sheet with
round stickers saying:

			(peacock logo)
			    loves
			    Dave!

and a couple other slogans that I can't remember. (It seems like one was
along the lines of "Dont go Dave" but maybe I'm completly screwed up on that).
Anyway, Paula (I think) was wearing one that had the Peacock crossed out
and CBS penned in.
My guess is that some staffers must have gotten ahold of some corporate
propaganda from 30-Rock and wanted to show how desperate NBC may be.

I knew as always, Enquiring minds want to know.

	A few years later Crispin explained that the way he looked 
	was for a movie. He did make a movie a couple years back 
	where the character looked like he did that first fateful
	night. I however don't believe it was an act either. I never

	'act' that way around a legend like Carson, he may have cleaned
	up himself a bit for Johnny. But Dave is a laid back guy who
	likes people to come as they wish, casually. Crispin was just
	plain whacked that night. In recent episodes with Crispin, Dave
	asked him what the deal was that 1st night and Crispin preferred
	to ignore the topic. That leads me to believe it was just a bad
	trip of some sort. Maybe the movie came as a result of his
	dreadful appearance with Dave? It was not choreographed, thats
	for sure...

From what I can remember of this series of opening montages, there is
a variation when the camera sweeps in through the garage.  As it passes
the cars, you will see a fellow in a green baseball jacket either
standing & talking on a telephone or alternately sitting and reading
a newspaper.  Can't think of any others off hand though...

I wouldn't necessarily worry about Wendell too much.  There is,
of course, the possibility that you're right, but I do remember a
time about two or three years ago when PAUL was taking Wendell's
place announcing for about a week.  Again, Dave didn't bother to
acknowledge Wendell's absence.  It's definitely very odd.

Actually, you get get a kiss from Dave! Just put your lips on the TV screen
when he does one of those obscenely large close-ups. (No tongue action please! 
This IS network TV!)

Well, most of the affiliates are siding up with Leno. He's consistent, has
a wider appeal (ie. old people will watch), and cheaper. And thus GE will 
choose him. Any other choice will have the affilates in an uproar. But then
again, I thought Bush would choose Dole as a running-mate in '88.

 He appeared on Carson and other show looking "normal" like you say,

I'm sorry, but I just don't get your point.  It sounds like you're believing 
every rumor that's been flying about the situation.  Where do you get your 
information, Tad?    You seem either (a) confused about what you believe,
or (b) like you subscribe to just about every possible conspiracy theory 
that ever was.  (Do you know a fella named Ross Perot?)

Because you've been a fan for so long, you know all this, or what?  Name
your sources if you've got em, because no one has said that Leno's going
anywhere.  No one.
