"Robin Williams can't hold a torch to Jonathan Winters' scripted and improvised comedy..."

Jonathon is a comedy god. You have to remember that he is Williams' primary role model.
A friend of mine keeps saying tht Robin needs to get back on the coke so he can be funny again. I reply that we're all one place at a time and that's what tapes are for.

[JulieRNR21]

julia roberts is morphing into jessica parker.....weird!

[LisaMalia]

[satchmodog9]

Parker/Broderick is one ugly broad. She looks like the wicked witch of the west.

[Not A Snowbird]

Don't know. Are they saving it up for the grand finale?

[cyborg]

Haaaaaaaaaaaahahaha that's right. Bring him down to earth.

[gcruse]

The first movie with sound was ‘Don Juan’ released in 1926 by Warner Brothers. The Jazz Singer, also a Warner Brothers release was the first old movie with sound, music and a few lines of dialogue.

[NYC GOP Chick]

not bad, great weekend here in the east, huh??

Tomorrow's going to be even better! I'm going to run some errands in the morning and get some breakfast at the Dean & Deluca in Borders. Then, I'll probably spend the afternoon at the South Street Seaport -- with a good book and my CD Walkman, overlooking the chunky brown East River. :)

why nervous??

I'm supposed to find out for sure tomorrow afternoon about a job that I think I really want. :)

[Johnny_Cipher]

Ewwwww. Rode hard and put away wet.

[mass55th]

See my Response #1936...Great minds...

[BigWaveBetty]

OMG!!!!!!!

Is she at the Oscars? Who's her witch doctor?

[Moonmad27]

LOL post 1765! Saving your "sorry" post for future use, although I don't think I'll EVER be that sorry.

[NTegraT]

I mean it got really bad starting with Julia Roberts so that I can't even understand it with all the static. Maybe it's my cable co.

[AgentEcho]

SJP has been ugly since Square Pegs.

[satchmodog9]

You are so, so right.

[nhoward14]

Sheesh.. Somebody forgot to double bag this one!

[Floratina]

I just realized something after watching this Hepburn montage. She played the same damn character in all of them.

[Maigrey]

They've been awfully staid tonight.

The only one whose been getting everyone's shorts bunched up has been Robin Williams and Billy Crystal.

Alas, Sir Weenie Alec Baldwin is still due up.

[eleni121]

Mel's spirit and The Passion is the undercurrent tonight.

It's obvious.

[NYC GOP Chick]

I think he'd blush a *deep* scarlet shade if you told him that!

I won't ever forget the incredulous look on his face when I told him that I just *had* to get his autograph for a female fan from FR -- I even told him your screen name and that he should look at your posts! :D
