Entry #5
 
And there you go. After 2 saturday morning test shows to prove to Andy I could run the board - I jumped back into the late night spot. June 5th to be exact - and actualy 97 days later. I'm not sure where the hell I came up with 99 as it says in the spot.
 
I gotta love my balls here though (there's a line we don't say enough as men). I remember before my show on Saturday morning the 23rd Andyman was really friggin' nervous. I had never used a touch screen in my life and he basically just showed me what to hit in 5 minutes and I said:  "OK, I'm good". He looked at me like:  "No dude, I can't let you CONTROL THE STATION with that little practice". And I really just knew I could do it and did. Never even entered my mind to be scared. I wanted The Late Show back in the worst way and was pissed I even had to wait 2 weeks while getting up at 5 AM on a Saturday. Heh.
 
This bit opened my first show and was never heard again until now. I was also sick as a dog when I made this (funny how Lester and Johnny sound completely healthy), and remember struggling through several production pieces around this time. Nonetheless I was back!
