Tonight Show - The Hawkeye Theme

This one's kind of borderline but I found it to be catchy and cute. Hawkeye is a little insecure about his lack of superpowers and decides to sing about it using the singing power of song...



The man bowls over 70!

Hogan's Heroes : Breaking

I'm watching an episode of Hogan's Heroes from Season 5 and in the episode "the gang" has to retrieve something from Klink's safe. So Newkirk puts on the stethoscope and breaks into it.

Come on, this is Season 5, they should simply have the combination memorized by now. What are we supposed to think, that Klink is changing out his safe every few days? Heh Heh.

The Tonight Show - Louis C.K.

How rare it is that "The Dana Carvey" show gets mentioned in any capacity but how sweet it is. Louis C.K. tells a story about the time when he was head writer for "The Dana Carvey Show" and Jimmy Fallon auditioned to be in the cast.



I've always thought I should make a post dedicated to "The Dana Carvey Show" but I probably never will so I might as well summarize it briefly here.

"The Dana Carvey Show" was a tragically under-watched, underrated, under-appreciated show that was cancelled after just 7 episodes. It was probably my favorite show of the mid-90s.

Look at the talent involved. The writers/performers for the show included:

Louis C.K.
Robert Smigel
Dana Carvey
Stephen Colbert
Greg Daniels (Parks and Rec, King of the Hill, The Office)
Steve Carell
Spike Feresten (SNL, The Simpsons, Seinfeld)
Charlie Kaufman (yes, THE Charlie Kaufman, Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind)
Jon Glaser (Late Night with Conan O'Brien)
Bob Odenkirk
Dino Stamatopoulos (Late Night with Conan O'Brien)

And ALMOST Jimmy Fallon.

Brian Stack Leaves Conan

Thursday was long-time writer Brian Stack's last show. Stack joined in 1997 during the "Late Night" days and was a mainstay actor in sketches and bits. Some of my personal favorites were: Clive Clemmons, Hannigan (the traveling salesman), Artie Kendall (the Bing Crosby-esque singer), Brian LaFontaine (the creepy lounge singer), the singer of the Minty theme, WikiBear and Frankenstein.

The best-of tribute to him is not available on youtube but can be watched on the Conan website here.

This feels like a huge loss. He, along with Robert Smigel, Jon Glaser, Andy Blitz and Brian McCann seemed to be the heart of the show that I first fell in love with in the late 90s. And of those, Stack was the last one left.





"Hitlery-hoo???"

The Price Is Right

Still pretty smooth.
