Watch the interview of the picketing LATE SHOW writers conducted by TV Barn's Aaron Barnhart. Hear them speak; see why they write. http://blogs.kansascity.com/tvbarn/2007/12/video-coming-so.html
Lots of rumors swirling around about the writers’ strike and the LATE SHOW’s possible return. Lots of behind the scene talks are going on, but I don’t believe anything until I hear it from Pat Farmer.
Last week I griped how ESPN, broadcasting a snow-filled football game, did not put up a graphic advising the home viewer what yard-line the ball was on. The field was covered with snow. We had no idea if the ball was on the 20. 30, 40 or 50 yard-line. I suggested that ESPN should have put a small graphic in the corner of the screen reading, “Ball on the 42.” So you can imagine my delight when I watched some of the Browns/Bills game yesterday on CBS. The conditions were even worse in Cleveland than it was the week before in Pittsburgh. And there in the upper right hand corner of the TV screen was a graphic providing the game’s score, down, time, and . . . . . . the yard-line the ball was on. Yippee, CBS! Thanks for reading the Wahoo Gazette!
Don’t you hate it when people try to bring religion into Christmas?
Steroids and HGH in baseball: I know it’s wrong, but I’m not crazed in my vehemence against it. My reaction is more of a, “Yeah, it’s wrong, but I can understand why someone would do it.”
And speaking of which, did you see Alex Rodriguez on 60 Minutes last night? (I didn’t, but I did see the clips and promos.) Katie Couric asked him if he was ever tempted to use steroids or human growth hormones to better his skills?
From MLB.com:
“Alex Rodriguez said that he has never used performance-enhancing drugs of any kind, telling CBS' ‘60 Minutes' that he had never been tempted to do so.
‘I've never felt overmatched on the baseball field,’ Rodriguez said in an interview aired Sunday. ‘I've always been a very strong, dominant position. And I felt that if I did my work, as I've done since I was a rookie back in Seattle, I didn't have a problem competing at any level.’”
OK, so A-Rod says he has never been tempted to use the stuff and he has never felt overmatched on the baseball field. BUT . . . . someone like Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds didn’t start using steroids until they felt their level was play began to drop as they got older. A good follow-up question would be to ask Alex if he thinks he would be tempted to use performance enhancing drugs as he neared 40 and those fastballs he once hit for homeruns were now infield pops. There’s little temptation to use the junk when you are on top of the world. It’s when you begin to slide . . . that’s when the temptation might kick in.
And then Rodriguez explained how embarrassed he was when it was reported in the late innings of Game 4 of the World Series that he would be opting out of his Yankee contract and delving into the free agent market. He was not happy with his agent over the timing of the announcement. But I don’t blame A-Rod for this, and I only blame his agent Scott Boras a little. I put full blame on the FOX network for going ahead with the announcement. They didn’t have the self-restraint or the common sense to sit on the story until it was warranted to report it. They didn’t have to report the story when they did. They could have waited for a more appropriate time. If I ruled the world, I would have looked at the announcement and made the determination that Game 4 of the World Series was the bigger story and the A-Rod story would have waited. Alex got a lot of blame for this, as did Boras. I don’t remember FOX catching any flack.
FAMOUS WAHOOS: WAHOO MCDANIEL
From the Wikipedia:
Edward "Wahoo" McDaniel was a Choctaw-Chickasaw Native American who achieved fame as a professional American football player and later as a professional wrestler.
Wahoo was born in the small town of Bernice, Oklahoma in 1938. His father worked in oil and he moved to several towns before settling down in Midland, Texas while Wahoo was in middle school. One of his baseball coaches was George H. W. Bush. The name "Wahoo" actually came from his father who was known as "Big Wahoo." He was a problematic teenager but he was accepted to Oklahoma University to be part of Bud Wilkinson's football program.
- Wahoo McDaniel was one of wrestling's biggest names from the 60s to 80s and was also something of a cult legend.
- Favorite move: The Chop
Monday’s Previously Viewed Program: From July 10, 2001; #1637 – Julia Roberts; Travis; and Sean Puff Daddy Combs with a special Top Ten. Oh yeah . . . almost forgot . . . Paul asks Miss Roberts a questionable question.

Here now is the Wahoo Gazette for Monday’s previously viewed program. It is one of the best Wahoo’s ever!
(Original Air Date: 7/10/01)
Julia Roberts; and Travis. PLUS:Dave and Stephanie clarify a comment from last night's show; another installment of "Is This Anything?"; a very special Top Ten from Sean "Puffy" Combs; and Paul has a question for Julia.
Dave is a little nervous tonight with Julia Roberts on the show. Julia and boyfriend Benjamin Bratt just went through a highly publicized break-up and Dave wasn't sure if he should ask about it. Paul assured Dave that he would perform the difficult task of bringing up the touchy subject so Dave would have nothing to worry about. That was nice of Paul.
During last night's show Dave said he feared he had an intestinal parasite. After the program, our good friend Jude Brennan wondered if Dave really did have an intestinal parasite. He told her he really thought he may. This morning Jude said she talked to her parasite guy who said Dave has nothing to worry about. Although I was kind of hoping for another 5-week break, I'm glad Dave is OK.
Also during last night's show, Dave thought Stephanie called the Hooter girls in a photograph "whores." Dave had phoned Stephanie and the two talked about her vacation photos. One shot was of Stephanie and her friend with a couple of waitresses from Hooters. Stephanie called them "those dirty little Hooters girls." When Dave told her she shouldn't say that, Stephanie said, "Just look at those shorts." Over the phone, it sounded to Dave as if she said "Just look at those whores," so Dave decided to call again tonight to clarify the misunderstanding.
During tonight's call, we learn that Dave and his assistants went out on a little field trip after the show to a free screening of Julia Robert's new film, "America's Sweethearts." They did not serve popcorn or soda at the screening so Stephanie and the gals cooked up some popcorn in the office and smuggled in some soda pop to take along to the viewing. Not only that, I think the Letterman gang snuck in through the exit door to get in. Oh, to be young again. Anyway, I liked how Dave said he and the kids had the popcorn and soda "on the schnied."
Back from commercial, Dave said he was glad to learn we did not call anyone "whores" the night before.
(ed.note: Dave did ask Jenny McCarthy, November 30, 1999, about her role in an upcoming movie: "Do you play a whore?" This is not the same thing.)
"IS THIS ANYTHING?" Fast becoming a very popular segment on our show, this is something we're not quite sure what to do with. Is it something worthy of network television? Or is it nothing at all? We leave it up to you, the home viewer, to decide. We go to a live shot on 53rd Street to see an elderly, 72-year-old gentleman pulling a New York City bus down the street. It's amazing? Is this anything? I'll say it is. The bus weighs 27,000 pounds.
After the senior citizen does this, Dave wonders why there was no fanfare from Paul celebrating the feat. Paul explains that all day long he was told the guy couldn't do it. It's true. The word on the street was the guy, known as the Magnificent Maurice from Cape May, New Jersey, could not move the bus. All of us at the show were expecting the Magnificent Maurice not to be able to pull the bus. When he did, he surprised us all. I have a feeling it was the showmanship in Mighty Mo that "prevented" him from performing the challenge during rehearsal. But once that red light went on, KABOOM, the Magnificent Maurice did the impossible.
Is this anything? You betcha!
TOP TEN: "Things You'll Never Hear in a Puffy Song." And here to present tonight's Top Ten list is Sean "Puffy" Combs, whose new CD "The Saga Continues. . ." is in stores now. #8. "With this new denture adhesive I can eat corn on the cob again." #3. "I saw a great rerun of 'The Golden Girls' last night."
JULIA ROBERTS: Looking ravishing! Both Dave and Julia seemed a little nervous over the meeting. The admiration between the two is obvious. Dave congratulated her on winning the Academy Award and asked about her acceptance speech, pointing out that she forgot to mention Erin Brockovich. Julia explains that "winning the Oscar does not bring out the Einstein moment." She readily admits to the faux pas and knew of it immediately after her speech. Back stage at the Academy, she told anyone and everyone of her admiration and thanks to Ms. Brockovich. In the middle of another question, Dave stops short to gasp after sneaking an extended gaze down Julia's top, "Holy God, I can see right into that!" Julia grabs Dave by the knee which made Dave's head spin like an owl.
Back from commercial, it is now time for Paul's question. Before Paul can ask it, Julia polls the audience (and you know how painful that can be) to see if they really want to hear Paul ask the question in question. "How many WANT to hear Paul ask me the question," Julia poses. The audience gives a hearty response. "How many DO NOT want Paul to ask me the question?" The audience gives an initial vocal response but it quickly dies down. Paul gets to ask his question.
Paul: "So Julia . . . are you getting laid these days?"
YOWEE! Now my head was spinning like an owl! The audience roared while Julia looked on in horror. Dave sprang from his chair and approached Paul. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Dave wants to know! Paul does some "hemmina hemmas" as Dave continues, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" As Dave gets closer to Paul, Julia jumps in and grabs Dave from behind, preventing Dave from getting any closer. Dave is suddenly gleeful. Julia continues to hug Dave as the two slowly return to homebase. When the audience, Dave, and Julia finally calm down, Dave says, (Did you "Play the Dave?" I did and I won.) Dave says to Julia, "Well, are you?" Julia lets out a big laugh. She then explains the breakup between her and Benjamin. The theater fell silent. It was Julia being very honest and straight.
When Julia finishes, Dave tries to lighten the moment with an old Barbara Walters standby, "So what's next for Julia?"
We go to commercial as Julia stays on with Dave for Travis.
As we roll back in from commercial, we see a clip taken during the break of Julia kissing Paul on his head. All is forgiven.
Just before Travis comes on, we show a clip from Julia's new film, "America's Sweethearts," opening Friday July 20th.
TRAVIS: From Scotland, Travis sang from their new CD, "The Invisible Band."
And that was our show for Tuesday July 10, 2001.
So, was Paul wrong for asking what he asked? Maybe, but I sure found it entertaining. Besides, it wasn’t Paul’s fault. It was the audience’s for wanting to hear the question.
Did you watch the Major League All-Star game last night? The American League won 4-1. I may be cynical and suspicious but Chan Ho Park served one up to Cal Ripken in the third inning that a Met outfielder could have hit for a homerun. It was groove-city.
The All-Star game doesn't hold the glamour it once did for me. I used to look so forward to the game. Now, not so much. One thing I did want to see was the reaction of the American League team after the last out. I wanted to see a Mariner high-fiving a Yankee and a Twin glad-handing an Indian and an Angel back-slapping an Oakland A. I wanted to see heated rivals reacting to each other now as winning teammates. I was curious to the interaction among the players after the game. What I saw on the TV right after the game were shots of the crowd and shots of fireworks. Nobody wanted to see the crowd at that point. Nobody wanted to see fireworks. Except the director. The story at that moment wasn't in the stands and it wasn't in the sky. Like it always is, it was on the field.
