Jeff MacGregor?
« on: April 27, 2005, 10:17:36 AM »
Watching LETTERMAN last night, Dave had author Jeff MacGregor on (book called Sunday Money , a sort-of chronicle of the 2002 NASCAR season).  The name meant something, but, no, it couldn't have been the same guy who hosted DATING for a few years, could it?  Looked very much like him, but perhaps my eyes were playing tricks on me (it was late, after all ;-) ).

I'm pretty sure it's him.  The author's website is pretty cryptic about past endeavors, but the birthplace would be right and the host's small IMDB listing mentions him teaching at Yale.

Oh Crap! I was tuned into Dave as he announced the nights guests. When I heard the name Jeff MacGregor, I instantly thought of Mr. Dating Game. But then I said to myself, Nahhhh it 's probably a different one. So I took a shower and totally forgot about it. Then during Craig's show after Letterman, I said to myself "Damn" I missed Jeff MacGregor. So my half belief got the best of me and I missed it. I hope CBS repeats this show so that I can see it.

  What I find most shocking of all is that he is the son of McLean Stevenson!

Here is a screen capture. Looks like Jeff in the last pic on the bottom. Definitely looking older.

***  I was finally able to get Page One to come up (where Dave's eating the pizza and the top 5 of last night's Top Ten List), but when I select Page 2 --Nothing!
