How do you do, fellow Regis?

The funny thing about Jackie leaving is that Fred became de facto as well as credited "head writer" of the show, so I guess that bullshit position didn't go to waste.

I thought Benjy became the head writer after Jackie left, essentially it was him who won 'Win Jackie's Money' instead of Artie

I skimmed through some of John's replies in that thread. You're not missing out on anything if you don't read it, like 90% of his answers are him saying he isn't being sued, he was glad to be on the show, etc.

There are a couple interesting lines though.

lol, yes that would have been a field day, I was the 1st to call gary out for sleeping, he said it only happened once bullshit, he used to come in the office, grab the mystery guest blinders, then, go sleep in the jock lounge after a rough night of drinking, it's true they finally caught him haha

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
One thing I've found more often than not is John told the truth way, way more than he lied. I've listened to old stuff where he had accused Gary of sleeping before and Gary used to be a monster party guy who drank, snorted, and hosed his way through the late 80s to early 90s.

Also the more I listen to Gary the more I realize Howard kept his ego in check. It's not something I think he had before the show but once he realized he was a thing and all it could do for him, Howard was the only one keeping him honest.

All this talk about Nancy Sirianni and Allison Norris really hits home how Howard used to (justifiably) rake Jackie and Fred over the coals for their wives doing self-indulgent "projects" on their husband's dime (Nancy with her bands and Allison Norris with her being in that play where she kissed a dude every night on stage). If you remember, Howard was MERCILESS. How ironic that Beth is now right on par with Nancy and Allison.

Princess Norris was only such because I get the feeling Fred said he'd provide and she didn't need to which pretty much guarantees wacky poo poo from a wife when she's at home and bored out of her mind.

Nancy was the way she was before Jackie and it only magnified when she got some of Jackie's money.

Beth is the way she is because Howard won't give her a kid. It's just that simple.

To be honest, I think Howard's Alison did some weird things too because at some point she stopped being a social worker(there's some very old stuff where this slips in) and then things got mega quiet on Howard's end and I'd be willing to bet you a buck it's because it's the same kind of wacky stuff.

Come to think of it I think Mrs. Booey used to do a few things they mocked Gary over like some kind of jewelry start-up business that went nowhere.

I thought the show was really funny. I think if it were online it would have done great or even a podcast. Being on broadcast television meant even on something like Showtime they couldn't go as far as it needed to to be funny.

Honestly I just miss Insomniac. I have been watching old episodes that I had recorded years ago recently and it still holds up today.

I know it's already been said, but I worked a 10 hour shift, and my coworkers had the Christmas station on the radio. Feliz Navidad came on 5+ times during that shift, so I had Release Robin's Bra in my head all night.

I'm not trying to be a one-upper but I have a similar story. For some reason I've had a few dreams about Christmas gatherings and in every one of them, Feliz Navidad is on and all of a sudden Release Robin's Bra is in my head in the dream and then when I wake up. There really is no better parody.

I love this MTV awards show where they all get plastered, it's great radio. It's funny to see the actual people who grew up partying mingle with the people who rarely get drunk and they all spend their time spouting more wrong info about BAC than a senior in high school.
