Getting the Last Word

I see I'm i'm late re Leno.

I've nothing useful to say, as I never paid attention, much. Not so much re him, as general non tv.

Leno went from a not well known to a star to being an annoyance after his last retirement. Haven't seen his show since I don't know when, no interest in the guest interview stuff and his monologues tended to be stale by air time.

That fits my memory of him.

I miss Cavett. Quite the self absorbed guy, but he got guests going.. anyway, self absorbed or not, I liked him.

I don't know Leno or Cavett - chat show hosts?

Leno was something of a comedian (stand-up sort found in nightclubs and comedy clubs) with ambition and luck.

Cavett is a man of incredible intelligence, who in his show had a way of communicating with his guests that didn't seem smarmy or as if he felt either superior or inferior to them. It was as if two people were just having a conversation.

I never got that kind of feeling from Leno in the handful of interviews I saw of his. Leno seemed to be working for a joke or a laugh more than communicating.

Has anyone discovered who ate the last kreplach?

Don't look at me like that. I'm still searching for the missing knishes.

The first time I heard of kreplachs was in some patter in the middle of a Bette Midler song.

Still not sure what they are.

They are a small filled dumpling, similar to a wonton or ravioli.

Kreplachs? Look tasty!

Sturgie, may I have this dance?

Sturgis might be shy and send over his alter ego!

He still might be busy looking for that last kreplach.

Looks as if he needs building up!

Are you saying he didn't sweep you off your feet?

I rather think that he gave me the brush off!

Harumph! Even on my worst day I looked better than that emaciated chap you tried passing me off as in that picture!

Just trying to draw you out of your lair, Sturgis - and it worked, hurrah!

Vonny, would you and firefly like some of the soya chicken from Sing Sing BBQ House? there is some rice and ginger and mmmmmmm green onion over by Set

Soya chicken sounds divine! And the accompaniment of rice, ginger and green onion makes it too good to pass up.
