You've worked with some famous folks in TV Land, and being as you are an anonymous celebrity (how's that for an oxymoron) you can easily spill the shit right here. Who's the whiniest asshole in show biz? What comedian isn't funny without his scrypt? What actress you've met gives you wood? Whatever happened to Emo? Did you ever meet Johnny Carson? Who's way shorter in person than you'd think? Give us the dirt.
 
DCL

Then you aren't Emo?
Damn.
Another plausable theory shot to pieces......
What about that Googy guy......
 
I met Emo in a Frish's Big Boy I worked in here in the very town I live in, and that is not a character. He ordered his food that way, even before he got the "hey your Emo Philliips." from me. He is that way. Wierd stuff.
 
Cool story's DCL, I was interested when you mentioned "Men behaving badly", I loved the UK version but I heard the US version bombed, do you know why ?

And have you ever seen the UK version.
 
Shame if you get the chance give it a look over, I hear they play it on cable/PBS, you might give "The Fast Show" a try as well, Jonny Depp is a huge fan and they let him appear in an episode once, and don't worry if you don't get all the jokes, I've yet to meet the person who gets all the jokes on that show.


BTW, I get the feeling you really really don't like Rob Schneider is there a personal angle or is it one of those hate at first sight thing's ?
 
Now this is cool stuff - and I don't consider myself a celebrity watcher or very much interested in gossip. But... I want more!!!
 
You Know You've Been Away From the BB Too Long When...

... you hear DCL rubs shoulders with the rich and famous! DCL, why didn't I know this???
 
I think out of that whole post the only names I recognized were Julie Andrews and Clint Eastwood but it warms the cockles of my heart to know that Julie Andrews is gracious, I always liked her.
 
Holy shit, Dixon. I asked for it, didn't I?

You're Carrot Top, aren't you?

I knew it.
 
If I were Carrot Top I would have shot myself, you, and a few hundred other people, a long, long time ago.
 
I met Carrot Top at a Frish's Big Boy I worked at, and I wanted to shoot him. ;)
 
Shorter than a minute

Dix, have you ever met Sly Stallone or Telly Savalas? I've met Sly and I've seen Telly, both were considerably shorter than one would expect.

Mutual friends

I've also met Elizabeth Berkley. She was filming in a greenhouse full of flowers in B. C. and is she ever nice. My friend drove the "honeywagon" for the location sets(ah, the glamour of showbiz) but his sister was the caterer and I got to meet Elizabeth.

This was after "Showgirls" came out and all I could think of as I'm talking to her is "I've seen you naked!" but she was a real sweetheart.

She told some intersting stories about her time on "Saved By The Bell" but I was only half-listening because I was obsessing at being so near "Jessie" after I'd seen her goodies. We guys truly can be pigs can't we?
 
In a past life I was a foot messenger for a bank, I had to walk documents from one bank to another around the square mile of the city of London, I once had to take a cheque for 60 MILLION pounds from one bank to another but the thing wasn't worth the paper it was printed on, toilet paper was worth more.

Anyway I had to go down to reception and escort Angie Bowie (Davids Bowies first wife) up to the cash desk, she was wearing pink wellington boot's....?.....not that strange in a country that get's so much rain except this was the middle of summer and it was the middle of a heat wave..???, the guy who came with her was dressed like a west African chief, not that strange for a west African except this guy was white and English..????...what a pair of nutter's.

I also had to use the tube five times a day and go to our other office near the bank of England and one day I got on a carriage and Terrance stamp was on the train, he's not a big guy but he has a look about him that seem's to make him seem bigger and his eye's look like they could burn right through you.
