Welcome to the show, ladies and gentlemen!
I'm sorry!
I'm still a little bit rattled about something that happened last night!
Well, my former stepson and his girlfriend broke into my house!
They tied me to a chair and stole my stereo!
I'm still...
You're being rattled!
Yeah!
Yeah!
You know, this is interesting!
I was on an elevator!
We do this show every night from...
We're on the sixth floor, aren't we?
That is correct, sir!
Yes!
And here in Radio City, Rockefeller Plaza, wherever we are, it's like a 45-story
building.
Maybe taller!
Right?
How many?
65!
65!
See?
It was!
Turns out it was taller!
So, you spent a lot of your time on elevators, and I'm in an elevator today
with a general
electric executive, and he's wearing one of these medical alert bracelets, you
know?
Yes!
If they find the guy, if he's in a traffic accident, God forbid, or they find
him somewhere
walking around goofy, and the attendants will look at the bracelet, and it
tells them what
they need to know about the man's condition.
And I looked at it, and all it said was, "Think's cough syrup tastes yucky."
I heard some sad news today.
Apparently, McNeil and Lehrer had a fight, and McNeil has moved into a midtown
hotel.
This will put us back on top.
This is where we break even, Paul.
This is pay dirt right here.
Well, the Fox Network held a press conference earlier today to announce a new
show that's
being hosted by Miss America, Bess Meyerson.
They're calling the show "Miss America's Most Wanted."
So that'll be it.
What a show we have for you here tonight.
Remember when they turned the lights on in Wrigley Field in Chicago, and the
man who punched
the button that illuminated the field there was Harry Grossman?
This man has been going to Cubs games since when?
The turn of the century?
Before the turn of the century.
Huh?
Hello?
1915, he was in high school, so that's not exactly the turn of the century, is
it?
Probably...
He was born in 1897.
He was born in 1897, so it seems unlikely that as a three-year-old...
He was at Wrigley Field.
It's my mistake.
I'm awfully sorry.
Anyway, well, should we even have him here if it wasn't before?
No.
The man is 91 years old.
He's been to over 4,000 Cubs games, and his name is Harry Grossman.
He is here.
Also, Tony Childs is here.
And, wow, shrieks of disbelief from the audience.
And Terry Garr, ladies and gentlemen, a good friend, Paul Schaefer is right
over there.
Thank you very much.
Hello, Paul.
Hello, David.
How are you?
I'm marvelous.
Got a couple of extra cats tonight in honor of Tony Childs.
These guys sometimes work under the name of the Bon Jovi horns.
Sometimes they're known as the Latoya Jackson horns.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Hello, David. How are you? I'm marvelous. Got a couple of extra cats tonight in
honor of Tony Childs. These guys sometimes work under the name of the Bon Jovi
horns. Sometimes they're known as the LaToya Jackson horns. But tonight we got
them and they're ours. The world's most dangerous horns. How about it for Al Chaz
and Bruce Kapler over here joining us tonight.
Nice to see you, gentlemen.
We're lucky to get them from LaToya tonight, I'll tell you that.
Nice to have you here. Thank you very much.
We'll do a commercial. We'll be right back here with Terry Goff.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you very much. Sounds great. Thanks for coming.
Isn't today, Paul, one of the most beautiful days you've ever seen in your life?
Absolutely gorgeous.
Look, Superman. Now we'll never win a medal.
I'm exhausted. Having a meeting with this guy, I just...
We have to do a commercial and then we'll be right back.
I'm very excited.
Gary Gar is here.
Gary Grossman is with us tonight.
91-year-old baseball fan. You like baseball, don't you?

Welcome back to the show.
Our next guest's first album has received exceptional critical acclaim,
including an entire page review in Time magazine.
The album is entitled Union.
Have you heard it, Terry?
Yes.
It's great.
Have you really heard it?
It's a great album.
You should get it.
It'd be perfect when you're working out and stuff.
I get it.
Seriously.
All right.
