Kudos to David Letterman (Worldwide Pants) and Craig Ferguson for reaching an agreement with their writers. As many of you know, I think Letterman and Ferguson are tons of times better than Leno and Conan...especially since Conan's people were considering having me on their show when I won the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest in 2003...only to say "oh, we don't think she could fill up six minutes". Oh, please, anyone who knows me knows I could fill up six hours...let alone six minutes. All I have to say is I wish Craig was on back then...his three year anniversary tonite by the way...as I'm sure HE would have had me on his show and I would probably NOT be on strike right now.
Oh, think about it. ;)
Anyway...glad to see you two back on the air, where you belong.

A Bit About Me
- Mariann Simms
- Along with my daily duties as founder and head writer of HumorMeOnline.com, in 2003, I took the Grand Prize in the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest (also known as the "It Was a Dark and Stormy Night" competition). I've also been a contributor to "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" and the web's "The Late Show with David Letterman". I also occupy my time writing three blogs, "Blogged Down at the Moment", "Brit Word of the Day" and "Production Numbers"...and my off-time is spent contemplating in an "on again/off again" fashion...my feable attempts at writing any one of a dozen books. I would love to write professionally one day...and by that I mean "actually get a paycheck".
All I can say is that Conan's beard makes him look distinguished and Dave's beard makes him look like the last surviving Civil War veteran.
ReplyDeleteHow come Craig didn't grow a beard in solidarity with Dave? He does work for him after all. That guy takes risks - I'll tell ya.
Now I know why Conan doesn't get a fair shake from you.
I'm not Conan.
Even if I were Conan, I'm sure he has to bump guests all the time.
Peace...
Honestly, if you were to say Letterman and Conan are tons better than Leno and Ferguson, I'd hop right on board with you.
ReplyDeleteBring back Jack Paar. Then you'd really have something.
Peace...
