Saw the Richard Simmons ep where Dave almost set the guy on fire. They had their old shtick going with Richard playing the hysterical pixie with the schoolgirl crush and Dave ready to zap him with a cattle prod in case he goes crazy. Seemed like old times, like nothing happened.

Dave's Richard Simmons quote of the night: "Honest to God, I don't know how his wife puts up with him."

How many throws will it take Dave to hit the meatball with the football? I think 2. Place your bets.

Christmaaaaaaas! Baby please come home. Christmaaaaaaas!

^Agree about Dave and Stern. Mutual respect is what they have and it really shows. Howard is wise enough not to take postshots at Dave, and when Dave takes a stab at Howard it's never gratuitous, it's always to make a point.

Last week Jan. 1 they showed a different rerun than advertised. And that "Subway Superman" made an appearance during the week according to reports.

Gary Mule Deer! Good grief, the last time I saw this guy was in the old "Make Me Laugh" shown in the afternoons on the old Ch.2. (Yes, I'm ancient as the pyramids). I hear his name mentioned in Dave's gags, like being in the cast of a new movie like Casino Royale and then Dave and Paul do a double take. Now he's here. And I missed it darn.

Some ancient buddies of Dave's on the lineup, Maron and Witherspoon (wonder if Dave and Mule Deer have history). Now and again Dave puts his old friends from his stand up days on his show, help them out. Nice guy Dave.

A little shake up in last week's sched. Somebody named Madonna dropped by.

Dave loves the Amy.

Terry and Bindi did Ellen and now Dave. Wonder why they haven't done Leno. He wrote Steve''s write-up for Time Magazine's year-ender so they were close apparently.

Racing buddies again.

Harry Shearer!

Tina Fey. Not nominated for Globes but her boy Alec just bagged best actor.

Diana Ross is still alive. Dave hardly made jokes of her recent misadventures, rich source of comedy that they were.

Last week, the Ukranian Vera Farmiga dropped by Thursday and blew the roof off the place. Dave was smitten and gave her a kiss on the hand at the end. Rare for a frist-time guest.

Dave will ask Kevin Spacey to do Johnny Carson like he always does.

Tuesday looks like it's going to be a big night.

Catch Stern if you can. Gave everyone in the audience a satellite radio.

February 1 marks Dave's 25th year in late night TV entertainment. Bill Murray was his first ever guest on Late Night, and on Late Show when he moved to CBS. I think Dave has him on every anniversary. Yep, beneath it all Dave's a sentimental softie.

Friday, February 9
John Madden
Rachael Ray (The Rachael Ray Show)
The Fab Faux

You just know it's a humdrum week if Chris Elliott is on.

Dave's Super Bowl ad is getting a lot of talk. In fact, I think it's the ad that's generated the most buzz in relation to its length (10 secs) and number of edits (3). Heck, its so short and sweet we can even transcribe it here:

"You want the Bears and I want the Colts but we both win because we're in love."
"Honey, don't talk with your mouth full."
"Oh, sorry."

So who was Indiana-native Dave celebrating the Super Bowl of Love with? His girl from Chicago of course. Guess you have to click to see for yourself.

Since Dave's Colts have won Super Bowl XLI, will he be casually picking up the Vince Lombardi trophy from behind the couch anytime soon, like he does the Stanley Cup?

Never seen Dennis Miller with Dave before.

Last time I saw Grodin on LS Dave gave him a $2000 bonus for guesting x number of times. Then they started bickering again. Good stuff.

Finally, Tobey Maguire appeared in the Late Show today after speculations he won't. I wonder what seemed to be the problem between him and the show. Before today, David was telling his audience about receiving nasty replies from Tobey's camp. Kirsten Dunst was a guest yesterday.

Here's a news article that covers everything, including the Top Ten. And in the modern spirit of keeping a cynical eye open when it comes to this kind of media event, here's the snarkiest one I could find.
