For A Guy Who Is Always Banging

I Think The British Learn Their History Through The Prism Of This Gallery Of Grotesques Known As The Royals.

In The Year And A Half I Was On Snl, I Never Saw Anybody Ad Lib Anything. For A Very Good Reason - The Director Cut According To The Script. So, If You Ad Libbed, You'd Be Off Mike And Off Camera.

I Happened Upon A Memoir By A Midlevel White House Staffer, And He Had Been In The Room That [nixon's Last] Night [in Office]. This Guy's Memoir Told Me What Nixon's Last Words Were. And They Were, On August 8, 1974, To The Crew: "have A Merry Christmas, Fellas!" That Was Just So Bizarre.

I Have A Very Strong Visual Memory Of The First Time I Made Him Laugh. That Was Remarkable. I Was Like, "oh, God, I Just Made Jack Benny Laugh."

Nixon's Genius Was That He Was Able To Portray Himself As The Toughest Of The Anti-communists, And Yet Run On A Platform That He Had A Plan To End The Vietnam War. And, Of Course, His Plan Was To Prolong It Until His Second Election - But He Didn't Tell Us That Then.
