Working at Walgreens today, I was called over to take a persons passport photo. Standing right there, Radio Legend Dennis Falcone, taking off his winter beanie. I tried really hard to hold back laughter. I took his photo and thought maybe it wasn't him, so I asked him to enter his phone number. Yep, up comes Dennis Falcone. The whole time he's making comments like "Wow, they have a program and everything" and "How did you get my name?". After selling him his passport photo I told him I was a big fan, I asked about Anthony to which he looked down sadly and sighed saying, "You know Ant's a great guy". All I know is that I can confirm that outside of Radio, Den-ayyy is a really nice, awkward guy.

Paul Kersey posted:Not exactly related to O&A&J specifically, but did anybody read Rolling Stone's article ranking all 141 cast members of Saturday Night Live? It's laughably bad. The writer (Rob Sheffield) ranks Jim Breuer at 139 and Norm MacDonald at 135, while putting people like Charles Rocket, Janeane Garofalo, Anthony Michael Hall and Sarah Silverman ahead of them. edit: I love John Belushi. He's not number 1. edit2: Among other things, Wiig and even Hader, while very good in their own right, ahead of Farley?

Yeah, there's just no way they can make an SNL list I'd agree with anyway, since I can't stand half of the 'greats'. Like most of the Will Ferrell or Gilda Radner bits just have me either bored or annoyed. Which makes me wonder how they can bust Victoria Jackson down to the bottom of the list since she annoyed me just as much. Then they put a bunch of interns and one-shots in there just so they can say "hey this guy is worse than literally thirty different people they pulled off the street for a night" which is just baiting garbage.

Victoria Jackson rules, though. Just look at everything she's done since SNL, especially her politics. She's real comedy.

I found Larry King interviewing Opie about the Anthony stuff to be pretty interesting to listen to this morning. The two could hash things out with a single conversation and it's cool that instead it's going to get dragged out for months and months on both shows.

I loved how Larry King unknowingly exposed what a lovely interviewer Opie is. He's talking about what he'd ask Osama Bin Laden if he could interview him (something like 'why would you bomb us? you left one of the richest families to live in caves. where does that anger come from?') and stupid Opie immediately chimes in with 'he probably had a rough upbringing'.

Anthony not being on the show really highlights how badly Opie is at radio. It's even more depressing to hear "I've been doing radio since I was 18" It's like drat, from 18 to 50 flurf you're still loving terrible at it

What's with the voice that Opie puts on these days? I haven't listened to a full show since July, but it's always jarring to me when I listen to recent clips and hear him trying to put on this low, kinda-gravely "cool guy" voice. It's like he's trying his best to sound disinterested, but when he gets defensive (which seems to be often) he goes into high-pitch sputtering mode.

I have a long road trip tomorrow and feel like giving O&J a listen just to see what the show is like nowadays. I stopped listening a little before Ant got fired. Any notable dates worth listening to, on the good or bad end of the spectrum?

The guest comics are easily filling the gap that Ant left expect they don't do an hour of "BLACKS! AMIRITE?!?!?!?!?" every day, Jim has been on fire, they still get big guests and even Opie seems more comfortable and occasionally gets in some great mean-funny lines. Sam has really stepped up and it looks like he has earned himself a regular show soon because of it. Ant's cute little podcast is just..... unimpressive.

Can someone just post clips of O&J finding audio and giggling their rear end off about it? I've said it ad nauseam, but it's when the show was at its strongest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FO4XW0JbGdI

Gurian bringing in Tony Danza as a special guest is the most surreal thing. All I can think of while listening is that old O&A bit.

He's been in a non-stop panic since Anthony left and he's acting like he's playing it up as part of the "Opie" character but there's no real self-awareness.

I was so happy when Jim bullied on through jokes about the Nationwide commercial when Opie tried to be the hole after the Super Bowl. He really, really wanted to get it out there that he was mad at Nationwide but he couldn't avoid laughing entirely.
