Okay, here's what I think will happen.
We'll hit Memphis by 6 or 7 Saturday night,
grab a quick bite to eat back in the car,
drive all night right straight down to the Gulf.
I know a great place on Highway 61 for reals, man.
That's perfect.
Now, is this some place where we can sit down?
Jane, Jane, you know, if we're going to be in Orlando by Sunday night,
we can't waste a lot of time eating dinner.
We'll eat in the car and then continue driving all night.
Whoa. David, I am not sleeping in the car.
What do you say we just stop at a holiday or something?
Hey, we need at least a week to really see Disney World.
Absolutely, absolutely.
Bo is completely right.
Listen, once we get down there,
you can stay at the Magic Kingdom motor and sleep all you want.
Hey, man, let's go without her.
Oh, well, I hate to think about you guys getting stopped
without one person in the car having a valid driver's license.
Aw, damn. Yeah, yeah, she's right, Bo.
Damn.
Well, maybe we could stop by my folks' place.
It'll be cool.
Well, that would be nice.
You know, I've never met the Diddly's.
What else are we doing here?
I got to introduce a guy.
Oh, that's right.
Can I take a minute to introduce a guy?
Because we have had a lot of the greats on this show
sitting in with our band.
We've had a lot of the rock and roll greats especially.
But I want to induct this guy into our own personal
late-night hall of fame
because he is one of the inventors of rock and roll.
How about it for Mr. Bo Diddley sitting in with our band?
Oh, thank you very much for being here, Bo.
And we're going to, as always, playing with the band all evening
and then you have a song worked on.
He invented the Bo Diddley beat.
Yeah.
Named it after himself.
Well, not a bad idea.
How does that go?
Give us a little of that.
A little of it.
Give us a little.
Yeah.
This is that it.
He invented it.
Yeah, he invented that beat.
See that?
It's infectious.
What are we doing?
We've got a lot of stuff to do here.
We've got a great show here tonight.
Jane Pauley is with us, Will Schreiner,
and, of course, Bo Diddley.
Come on back.
Yeah.
My next guest is the, uh, his nickname, The Originator.
The sound of his guitar and his distinctive rhythms
are all part of rock and roll history,
and it's a real pleasure and a thrill
to have him here with our band tonight.
Please welcome, once again, Bo Diddley.
Bo!
It's time to set the record straight
Gonna tell the truth if it's not too late
