What was it like? What are any conversations like? You sit next to people. People like you and me-at least-people you think are like you and me. So you sit with them and you ask them things-questions-and I would pause and give them time to think about their answers- you know REALLY think about them. Sometimes two or three minutes and just that dead air and me -chainsmoking on the air, because it was allowed back then and I smoke and that is the way that it is. Or was. But not anymore. So I would ask these questions and sometimes I got good answers and sometimes I got bad answers but it was real -I mean, as real as Television gets-we all know it's not real, but it approached that.
So I had a monologue of sorts, without jokes, because I wasn't funny, still am not funny, and would talk about things. Then I would interview these people and things would be said and we would do commercials and then we would say good morning-because obviously 3am on the East coast was too late to say good night. So I never said that. There were a lot of things I never said that maybe I should, but that's water under the bridge. I don't regret anything that happened.
Thanks for watching.
