Hey, how's it goin'? I'm alive. I'm dead *inside*, but I'm alive. (I
love that joke. The thing about that joke is: it never gets old. I think
you'd agree.) Truth be told, I've been extra busy this week, having
spent the better part of Monday & Tuesday wooing superdelegates, if you
know what I mean. I'm not so sure I won any over. Now I'm ready to write
some synopses. So, here we go ...

*DESK CHAT, ACT II HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT*
I'm going to say that the 'Desk Chat, Act II Highlight of the Night' was
.... Dave talking about his weekend flight back to New York. (The bottom
line: a flight attendant gave him a 'look' when he queried her regarding
the holding pattern they were apparently in. Was the holding pattern due
to traffic? That seemed unlikely, considering it was so late. It was
probably the weather. *Was* it the weather? No, it wasn't the weather.
It was the traffic. Really? At that late hour, well after midnight? How
could that be? The flight attendant responded, "I'll bet it's because
this is New York." The kicker was: the flight attendant made a face
after she said it; she kind of did a 'thing,' quickly pursing her lips.
In other words: she gave Dave a look. Dave wondered whether it's *him*,
or whether it's everybody *else*. He says he's come to the conclusion
that it's probably him.)
There was a bunch of other stuff as well, including a Top Ten List:
'Reasons Hillary Clinton Loves America,' as presented, on tape via
satellite, by Senator Hillary Clinton.
A little later, we had an all-new '*Late Show* Prize Giveaway.'
Unfortunately, the 'Late Show' prize wheel broke loose and ran amuck,
eventually making its way to the ABC studios, where it took out Regis.
You really hate to see that.
*JIMMY KIMMEL*
The show is "Jimmy Kimmel Live." This was a pretty good appearance.
*LANCE BURTON*
He's not just a magician -- he's a 'master magician.'
*JIMMY EAT WORLD*
The album is "Chase This Light."

*DESK CHAT, ACT II HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT*
I'm going to say that the 'Desk Chat, Act II Highlight of the Night' was
.... a tie between the following.
- Dave doing a magic trick of his own. (He pretended to go into a
trance -- he didn't *actually* go into a trance -- and then he levitated
a coffee mug. Truly amazing.)
- An edition of 'Small Town News.'
There was a bunch of other stuff as well, including a return visit by
Johnny Twain. In addition to regaling us with his trademark homespun
humor, Johnny stuck around to perform, with the CBS Orchestra, a
rendition of "Hooked On A Feeling." What an all-around entertainer he
is. Well, he's versatile, is what he is. I wish we could've heard the
whole thing.
*ASHTON KUTCHER*
How old did he say he is now? 14? I hope he doesn't neglect his studies.
The film is "What Happens in Vegas."
*MAC KING*
I don't know. I kinda felt sorry for the goldfish.
*STEVE WINWOOD*
The album is "Nine Lives."
*MISCELLANEOUS MEANDERING*
Do you ever eat so-called 'animal crackers?' I've got a 16-oz bag of
animal crackers, and I can't stop eating them. Now I'm feeling kind of
sick. What's the deal with the name 'animal crackers,' anyway? Did it
start off as a trademarked name? Also, has PETA taken a stand regarding
the consumption of animal crackers? I bet they might have. Think about it.
OK, now I'm going to write a synopsis of last night's (Wednesday's) show.
