THE OTHER DAY WITH SANDRA BERNHARD.

OH, JESUS.

YOU DON'T KNOW

WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, IT WAS SO FUNNY.

I KNOW MORTY'S DOWN THERE,

I WANT TO TALK TO MORTY.

HEY, ARE YOU GUYS

I HATE THE REDEYE.

MORTY CALL YOU,

WHEN YOU'RE NO FILLING IN FOR JOHNNY.

YEAH, WHATEVER. GOOD.

YOU KNOW ME, I'M READY,

AS LONG AS IT'S OK WITH HELEN.

AH, RIGHT, OF COURSE.

WELL, YOU KNOW, WE'LL HAVE

MORTY CALL HELEN, AND DO IT THAT WAY.

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

I GOT TO TELL YOU,

I GOT A HELL OF:

AN OFFER FROM C.B.S.

I DON'T KNOW.

I MEAN, JAY WANTS TO STAY

AND TAKE OVER WHEN

CARSON STEPS DOWN,

BUT, BRANDON,

I NEED A COMMITMENT.

HELEN, YOU'RE AS SUBTLE

AS A KNEE TO THE GROIN.

I DIDN'T HEAR THE WORDS

TONIGHT SHOW IN THERE ANYWHERE.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

YOU WANT US TO:

BOUNCE JOHNNY NOW?

YOU WANT TO DEPRIVE HIM

OF REACHING:

HIS 30TH ANNIVERSARY?

JUST LOOKING TO:

PROTECT MY GUY.

LOOK AT HER WORKING BRANDON.

IS SHE SHAMELESS OR WHAT?

DAVID, I DON'T SEE ANY REASON

WHY YOU SHOULDN'T SAY

HELLO TO BRANDON.
