Chuck Woolery sighting

[brianhenke]

CBS is airing something called the Merrill Lynch Celebrity Ski Classic today...and Chuck Woolery presides over a trivia quiz from a lodge with sports celebrities (and it's got the classic J! theme, too!)

   If you haven't seen it in your area, go check it out.

   Wary blue waters?
 
    We want some more pro wrestling (STILL) and NASCAR questions!

Brian, I have asked this before and I'm asking again.

What is the point of the tag lines you litter your posts with, here and on Usenet boards like alt.fan.letterman, such as:

"Mariah Carey and Glitter jokes, please!"
"We want some more pro wrestling (STILL) and NASCAR questions! "

Who is "we" and what is the point of this crap?

[davemackey]

Brian, don't answer that.

Melman: why does everyone have to justify or explain themselves to you?

 Because everyone must explain himself or herself to Larry "Bud" Melman.  It's part of Letterman's shtick, y'know.

What?  Wrong Melman?  Okay, then, Dave's right. :-)

 I don't want to know either.  Besides, Mariah Carey and Glitter were soooo last year.

J-Lo and Gigli jokes, please! [ducking]

ObGameShow: David Letterman made a couple game show appearances.

Glitter jokes, please

Glitter was a joke. Lasted only about six weeks in primetime in 1984 on ABC.
One of the cast members of Glitter was Arte Johnson, regular panelist on The Gong Show and the star of Knockout.

 Unless I'm missing something, I think he was referring to the 2001 disaster of a movie "Glitter," not the 1984 ABC series.

Excuse me?  He can't answer for himself?  This is that terrible a question?  Are you Brian's agent?  Or just self-appointed judge and jury of what makes an appropriate question?  Because I just didn't get that memo.

Anything that gets posted is fair game.  Isn't it?  I've asked Brian about this a couple of times privately, and now twice on a forum.  So far, he hasn't even acknowledged the question.  (But you have.)

What is this really about?  Wouldn't have to do with some questions about a certain gushing fansite for a home-decorating show, would it?  (Otherwise, I don't see what the "everyone" fuss is.)

Boy, this topic surely degenerated into a farce...I was hoping that we would talk about Chuck Woolery being on CBS today.

  100 plus 100 equals 600?

  We want some more pro wrestling (STILL) and NASCAR questions!

[melman1]

I was hoping that we would talk about Chuck Woolery being on CBS today.

Then why did you ask for Nascar questions?

davemackey, please forgive me.

And you were watching this instead of the 49ers/Bengals game today?  The Bengals field a real competitive team for the first time in God knows how long (and no, Zach, don't tell me) and you're watching skiing?!  And moreover, celebrity skiing??!!  As Woolery would say, Jimi-nee. . .

 That's his signature...he does that in the newsgroups as well.

 I think Melman's point is that it's an inane signature and that it presumes to speak for a global "we" that Henke is not qualified in any way, shape, or form to speak for. I, for one, could care less if I ever see a NASCAR or pro wrestling question on a game show ever again.

 I agree with Chris here, those two so-called "sports" I consider a very minute minority, even though wrestling has a fan base, I still consider it a minority. I just don't get the point. To not get off-topic, I do not believe the general public would even care to see such questions, or would even knows the answers to them. And yet, he STILL wants to see those questions!

One word: sheesh.

ObGameShow: TPiR still knows how to do primetime shows!
