like Joey Buttafuoco,
Kato Kaelin and Gennifer Flowers--
1:22:17
Oh, my God, he wrote a book.
1:22:26
l mean, he never even
read a book, man.
1:22:29
What's your feeling about the meaning,
if any, of Ed TV ?
1:22:34
Well, Harry, l-l feel that
Ed is the apotheosis...
1:22:38
of a prevailing
American syndrome.
1:22:40
lt used to be that people
were famous for being special.
1:22:43
Now they're considered special,
uh, merely for being famous.
1:22:46
Fame has become a moral good...
1:22:49
in this country:
lt's its own virtue.
1:22:57
We thought since we had
Ray Pekurny on the panel today,
we'd talk about his book.
1:23:02
lt is called
"My Brother Pissed On Me."
1:23:07
ls that a metaphorical title, or did
your brother actually piss on you ?
1:23:11
l put-- l put everything in the book.
1:23:13
Everything.
All this is in the book.
1:23:17
l'll be honest, l have not read
the book because it looks stupid.
1:23:23
What ?
1:23:26
l'm just saying maybe we
should start thinking about when
we want to take him off the air.
1:23:30
Why ? What are you talking
about, take him off the air ?
He just got out of the hospital.
1:23:33
He's fine. The cat's fine.
1:23:35
- The ratings are higher than ever.
- Well, you know,
1:23:38
it's like when you're chewing
gum and blowing a bubble.
1:23:40
- Good, a metaphor.
- Right.
1:23:42
And the bubble keeps getting bigger
and bigger and you've got to decide.
1:23:45
When do you suck it in ?
Or if you don't, it explodes
and then you've got gum face.
1:23:52
Cynthia, l started out
as an associate producer...
1:23:55
on Good Morning Fresno.
1:23:57
And l didn't get from there to here by
worrying about getting gum in my face.
