Remembering Phil Hartman - "Colon Blow"

May 28, 1998 marks the anniversary of the tragic death of Phil Hartman. I was watching CBS Sunday Morning today and caught a glimpse of a skit Phil performed on Saturday Night Live, a fake ad for a cereal named Colon Blow. Thanks to the folks at Hulu, here is that skit.

Tom Snyder and Bonnie Hunt, and Bonnie Hunt, and Bonnie Hunt . . .

Bonnie Hunt will begin her talk show soon and I found this example of her interaction with the Late, Great, Tom Snyder on the last "The Late Late Show with Tom Snyder" on March 26, 1999. If she can maintain this level of comedy, wit, and spontaneity, "The Bonnie Hunt Show" will run forever.








Here's Bonnie interviewed by a guy named Hooman.




The following are a series of vignettes developed to promote the syndicated talk show hosted by Bonnie Hunt premiering September 8th, 2008.
































And finally, here is a link to an interview about her voice-over work in "Cars."

I Remember Groucho

When I was in high school, I talked my way into a party by creating an homage to Groucho Marx. I call it an homage, some might call it a blatant rip-off, but what I did was memorize bits of business, snippets of songs, and pieces of pomposity centered on Groucho's appearances in the movies and on television appearances. For that night at that party I would be the one, the only, Groucho Marx! I did not fail miserably, only mildly! Fortunately for the entertainment industry, I opened and closed in the same night.

August 19th marks the 30th Anniversary of the death of Groucho Marx, which was over-shadowed by the death of Elvis Presley as reported by Mark Evanier here and here.

CBS Sunday Morning created a segment about Groucho which is in print here.

And now, without further ado (because too much adew gets things awfully wet) I present: Groucho Marx. Adieu.
