:05:09
Don't forget, Howard,
we're not using the 16.
:05:16
The first attempt on President Ford's
life was 18 days ago...
:05:20
and again yesterday in San Francisco.
:05:22
In spite of the two attempts,
Mr. Ford says...
:05:24
he will not become a prisoner
of the Oval Office...
:05:27
a hostage
of would-be assassins.
:05:30
The American people
are good people.
:05:34
Democrats, Independents,
Republicans and others.
:05:38
- How do you get mixed up that type?
- I don't know.
:05:42
If you're so hot, why go to strangers?
What's wrong with me?
:05:50
Ready two.
:05:54
Two. Cue Howard.
:05:55
Ladies and gentlemen,
I would like at this moment...
:05:58
to announce that I will be retiring
from this program in two weeks' time...
:06:02
because of poor ratings.
:06:04
Since this show is the only thing
I had going for me in my life...
:06:08
I have decided to kill myself.
:06:11
I'm going to blow my brains out
on this program a week from today.
:06:16
Ten seconds to commercial.
:06:18
Tune in next Tuesday.
:06:20
That should give the public relations
people a week to promote the show.
:06:24
We oughta get a hell of a rating
out of that.
:06:26
Fifty share easy.
:06:30
- Listen. Did you hear that?
- What was that about?
:06:34
Howard said he was going
to blow his brains out next Tuesday.
:06:38
- What are you talking about?
- Didn't you hear him?
:06:42
Howard said he was going
to kill himself next Tuesday.
:06:46
What do you mean Howard said he
was going to kill himself next Tuesday?
:06:50
He was supposed to do a tag.
:06:52
He said, "Tune in next Tuesday.
I'm going to shoot myself."
:06:55
What's going on?
:06:57
He just said he was going
to blow his brains out.
