I thought it was one of the funniest things on the show in recent, well, years, sad to say. It was joined Friday night by the construction worker who needed three tries and personal intervention from Dave to read the TTL cue card correctly.
As to the point of the show airing "funny" material, the impression I've picked up on the FB AFL group is that the writers are actually turning out funny stuff, but it all has to be filtered through Dave's tastes and sensibilities, which (for me) ain't what it used to be. --Dave Sikula On Friday, March 15, 2013 5:47:24 PM UTC-7, Jim M wrote: > > had VIP tickets to LSWDL Tuesday that I had gotten from my son - guest was > Steve Carell who was fine but most interesting part was when the bit about > Dave calling the papal conclave got screwed up and he had to do it three > times.
