               SHOW 130Wow, Hour #1000 is right around
               the corner. So is BWF #100, we did 98 tonight. It
               looks like Angela will have Jack Nicholson lined up!
               Man, haven't talked about that yet. She knows him .
               Got an acting part because of him. Has called him, and
               he says he'll do it, wants to ask his agent if it's a
               breach of his contract. Yes, this does sound a bit
               amazing. I half don't believe that she even talked to
               the man. On the other hand, I can't believe she'd lie
               to me about this. Oh well time will tell. Had to tell
               everyone my CD would be a week late. Slow news week,
               but I somehow got through it. Talk was good. BD was
               good for awhile, but the prankers actually got in.
               Really just the Dukes of Hazzard guy, who got in all
               night. That sucked, and we started running out of
               time, the segments need to be 12 minutes instead of
               15. Otherwise it went good. I liked my Lester but I
               wonder if anyone else does. Ah well, I'll just have to
               make it more riske. Didn't get Wonderful World in by
               Louis Armstrong AGAIN. Sorry Mary. Talked about
               Minimum wage the last 15 minutes, and had to cut off 2
               people. So overall good night, and the Bulls won
               :-) 9:30 PM - 7:00 AM, Saturday
               - Sunday, April 27th - 28th, 1996:
               SHOW 131Started out killer, then got
               slow, then got killer then slow. A really odd night.
               Went in early to do pre-production work. Goddamn it
               took a long time. Edited the BD
               Sing-Off, redid my
               Opener, made carphone sound effects, made a new Bomb,
               oh and Lester #6. Whew. Barely made it on the air in
               time. As I said the show was a roller coaster. Did a
               CT on the minimum wage. Got so tiring that I blew
               everyone up which was fun. BD went better, but am
               having trouble working the hour out so we get right to
               the top of the hour. I'll map it out this week. From
               5:00 to 6:00 things pretty much blew. It was the
               biggest bullshit hour of my life. Not sure how I got
               through with only about 3 callers. Overall I'm pumped.
               Jack Nicholson is calling Angela tomorrow, and My CD
               should be out this week. And then...BWF
               #100...WOW. 10:30 PM - 2:30 AM, Sunday -
               Monday, April 28th - 29th, 1996:Holy shit am I pissed off right
               now. Probably as mad as the cart incident. So at 1:55
               Cannon types in and asks why I'm not listening. I had
               been, but I was talking to the janitor at the moment.
               I turn it up and he says "is it because I'm boring?"
               As I am about to answer, the phone rings, and I
               type...saved by the ring. Then he says: "Adam you do
               the show..." After the third time he says it, I say to
               myself: "You know...he threatened this last time, and
               I gave him an out, not tonight." So I go in to talk to
               him, and he puts on his coat AND LEAVES.I have 10
               seconds until his spot is over and 3 minutes until the
               top of the hour news, I play my opener, and take the 3
               new callers and get to the top of the hour. During the
               news I aearch the building and HE IS GONE. Why does
               this only happen to me? As I prepare to do another
               hour, there he is. He says he's "about ready to give
               this up." Go ahead you fuckin' boring old man. I stick
               around until 2:30, then I leave. I left a message on
               Bill's voice mail, and then I write on the log, that
               Cannon was off at 1:55 and that I went on until
               2:09... GOD I'M LIVID. To put me in a situation like
               that... what if I hadn't gone on? I wonder what
               Bill's gonna do. This is all I need. Taking over
               Cannon's job and then having to do BWF #100 during the
               week without Angela and Nicholson. 10:00 AM, Monday, April
               29th, 1996:Bill calls and asks for the
               whole story. I think he was in shock. Said he wouldn't
               say anything to Cannon unless he brings it up. I said
               he would play along too. He played it off as a joke
               and will think nothing of it. Definitely a + for me,
               but I'm sooo pissed. Had Bill been there he would know
               it was definitely not a joke. |
