Okay, I'm putting it out.

- I have a question to ask you.

- Yeah?

If you had an agent, and you tried

to get him for two weeks,

eight times, and he didn't return

your call, what would you think?

- Um...

- Huh?

I can't relate. I've never had

a guy not call me back.

Oh! I just don't get it.

When I met... I met this guy,

he was... he was gushing.

He wanted to do this for me,

he wanted to do that.

I've had my ass kissed,

but this was really special.

So he is officially your agent?

It's not like you had one meeting.

It's splitting hairs here, you know.

I mean, it was clear

he wanted to sign me.

You know what he said to me?

He said that I delivered the weather

forecast with a Shakespearean flair.

[ Chuckles ]

Was he drunk?

No, he wasn't drunk.

What's wrong with you?

Look. If the guy's not returning

your calls, then fire his ass.

Just hire someone else.

What's the biggie?

- Do you know who Mace Kornberg is?

- Uh-uh.

Do you have any idea

of the pedigree of this man?

Here's a little primer foryou.

He only handled Gene Rayburn

at the height of The Match Game.

Wow. All right,

so he is kind of a big shot.

Yeah, congratulations.

You just won the Cutlass.

I wouldn't be caught dead driving

a Cutlass. I'll trade it in.

Well, how about door number two?

Old reliable.

[ Giggles ]

Wait.

You're in a very small,

select group of guys.

What is it

that makes you successful...

and all the others knocking

on the doors not so successful?

Well, I'm not so sure. You know,

as i travel around the country,

I see on television guys that would

make good game show hosts.

But i don't tell them.

No. The analogy is a game show host

is the icing on the cake,

but the format is the cake.

- Yeah, format is the cake.

- To me, Dick Clark,

for all the things he does,

is an outstanding game show host.

He stays out of the way.

He lets the format work.

And now, ladies and gentlemen,

it's your host, Russ Richards!

And now, ladies and gentlemen,

it's your host, Russ Richards!

[TV Continues, indistinct]

So, Russ, it sounds like we can keep

those scarves and mittens...

in moth balls a while longer then.

That's what it sounds like, Dan.

And the sleds and snowmobiles

can stay in the garage.

That is correct, Heidi.

I think we all get the point.

[Dan] Thanks, Russ.

We'll check in with you later.

- [ Answering Machine Beeps ]

- Hello. You have one message.

[ Beep ]

[ Man ] Uh, yes.

This message is for Rob Richards.

This is Sandy from

the Gabler-Kornberg Agency.

I'm sorry no one got back to you,

but we were away on a retreat.

- Apology accepted, Sandy.

- I wanted to let you know...

that Mr. Kornberg is dead.

He passed away
