I saw minutes of it -- and I heard Jon's joke about "Cinderella Man -- how difficult it was for Make-Up to make Russell Crowe look like he'd been in a fight."
The camera panned to Mr. Crowe. He looked tentative. And the audience snickered -- they didn't laugh.
Another bomb for Jon -- but I loved it.
That Hollywood group can dish it out -- but they can't take it!
The funniest Oscar line ever was when Letterman introduced Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins as presenters. He said something like, "Here they come and they're sure to be p___ed off about something, so listen up." Needless to say, he was never invited back.
