Artie said in his podcast that he has an African American friend. So it's okay.

Her name is Charlize Theron.

Anyway, this ties into my last post about Benjy. This is why I like him. No one on the staff would be caught dead tweeting this.

Benjy might be on thin ice though. On Friday's wrap up show they said the show was working better with Benjy not in the studio and so they expect that he will never be invited back in. Given that he has supposedly gone a little extra crazy being stuck outside (a decision Howard left up to Marci), I'm willing to bet he will keep pushing his luck until they completely knock the odd out of him or fire him.

I've always wondered how that worked. Did Jackie and Benjy just write quick jokes then pass them off to Howard and Howard would work them into the conversation? Like that was their main job? Or did they actually write bits for the show Writing jokes on the spot for Howard seems like a pretty hard job.

Their main job is joke writing for Howard (it's always obvious when he's reading a joke). But as far as I know, they all meet (including interns) and write bits.

Jackie did one liners that got passed to Howard during the show, he also helped with some of the planned bits they did. His title was head writer, which was funny because it was basically him and him alone.

Yeah listening back to old shows I guess it is pretty obvious when there's a lull in the conversation or Howard hasn't said anything for awhile and then out of no where he'll say a joke. It's weird, seems both challenging and easy. You're constantly thinking of jokes and doing it quick enough for them to be relevant but also the jokes are pretty stupid and simple.

What I'm saying is Jackie hosed up so bad.

If anyone one that staff is a comedic genius it's Fred though. I heard a show where Sal sat in on the soundboard and it was harrible.

How do you do, fellow Regis?
Benjy might be the wild card who is crazy enough to dish the dirt on Howard. If he is fired (which I can't see happening unless he really badly screws up), then I can see him saying gently caress you to the NDA and spilling his guts on Artie's podcast or a similar show.

With that being said, I don't think I could listen to him on Artie's podcast. The two of them badly need a Stern figure to keep them in check. If it was Artie & Benjy alone, then it would be shtickoma vortex + wheezing and unfunny jokes that go on forever.

Fred was also credited as a writer for the sake of TV, I believe. When that happened Jackie demanded head writer status.

Jackie's one-liners were infamous because he always laughed hardest at those. If you listen to old stuff and hear him cackle really hard after Howard tells a joke it was 99% written by Jackie himself.

In all fairness to Jackie he routinely wrote stuff that made fun of himself and Nancy, he was never Robin or Fred who couldn't take an inch of prodding before snapping back viciously. He was consistently hammered on the show and very often piled into himself to make it funnier.

Howard tried his best to tell Jackie that management had finally had enough and were 100% willing to let him walk, but Jackie didn't listen. He either thought they'd call him back in a week, panicked, and offer him double or he'd be busy with the hundreds of job offers he'd be getting (which never materialized). Jackie also never had an agent, which makes negotiations at that level tough. You need a buffer between yourself and the people you're negotiating with.

Yeah I actually just listened to a show or segment where Tom and Howard talked about the Jackie negotiation. If you believe Jackie then the drinking/schedule played a huge part and I can I kind of buy that. I used to work a graveyard shift in college and that poo poo wrecks a normal social life. I can't imagine doing their schedule long term. On the other hand Jackie had a cush job and apparently made a great deal of money. It seems like self sabotage but maybe that's because he was just sick of the schedule. Same with Artie I guess.

haljordan

Nah, Jackie used that poo poo about the schedule as an excuse when everything blew up in his face. He was always about the money. See: every lovely CD/cheap piece of crap toy he sold. Sure, he had to wake up early but he wasn't digging ditches. He was making crazy bank cracking dick jokes on the biggest radio show on the planet.

Howard is incapable of building much muscle, especially at his age, so he needs to start eating double what he does. The guy really does look like an "ostrich in a wig" as Sal put it.

Thank you!

On the season 2 dvd, Sal and Richard do a commentary for an episode. It's kinda lame, but kinda funny because if someone watches it, and they don't listen to Howard, they'll have no idea why these two nobodies are talking about blowing each other, instead of the episode they're "commenting" on.

Riley Martin appeared twice in season 3 of Squidbillies.

Oh wow, I just realized that Riley's parts are what ETM turned down because they were "too Satanic". It just now clicked for me. Riley does 2 episodes, in one he is Pestilence, one of the 4 Horsemen of the apocalypse but in the other he plays a bodyless voice that forces Dan Halen, a Trump-like figure in the show who has slight Satanic-type connections throughout the series (and especially this episode as he grows a horn and tail, leading you to think of some Faustian deal), to build a mountain monument you're led to believe will have sinister happenings but in reality turns out to just be a theme park attraction.

I'll bet you anything that is the role Eric turned down. It was "Satanic" only on the surface level but by the end of the episode the voice convinces the aforementioned character to build a theme park that doesn't attract people then tells him to turn it into a yogurt shop and finally to just write the whole thing as a tax writeoff. However, since Eric lacked any insight beyond the superficial plane he existed in he saw it as a real Satanic thing.

"Pile M for Murder" is the name of the episode. The one with him as Pestilence is named "Armageddon It On!" in case you guys wanted to find them. They alter his voice slightly but you can hear his cadence very clearly.

I was walking to the train station this morning & passed some township guys cleaning up some fallen trees from those horrible hurricane winds we just got hit by in the NE yesterday. I was a bit past them and they were busting each others' balls over something and I hear one of them shout "I told you not to be stupid, ya moron!"

If I weren't so much further up the street from them I would've chimed in. That totally made my morning :)
