Ah. But wasn't there a Nixon joke in there too? Oh, yeah, you bet your sweet bippy: more than one, if I recall. But I'm pretty sure the clip you mentioned was a swipe at Cosell. I remember another scene, which may have been in "Bananas," where Allen is punished for some infraction by being put in isolation for a few days with a motor-mouth insurance salesman...
Good excuses to rent Woody Allen movies again, hunh?

Yeah, I think it was Cosell. Actually, those were the good movies in those days. "Take the Money and Run" was hilarious.
"Annie Hall" was okay and a few others. But I started getting bored with his films after the late 1980's and my wife just hates him even though she liked "Purple Rose of Cairo".
He's an acquired taste.
