Gary Coleman died earlier this year at the age of 42. I remembered that he had appeared on my show and and I’ve been looking for months for the video.  I finally found it and we posted it today on the site.  You’ll see that the interview was kind of strange – he seemed guarded and frankly, not very happy.  He was 30 years old at the time and seemed to want to separate from the role that made him a superstar in the 70s and 80s. He played Arnold on “Diff’rent Strokes” from the time he was 10 until the age of 18.   His life was plagued with health problems, primarily his kidneys.  How sad that he died so young but his work will bring laughter to generations to come.

1. Lisa Rinna’s lips were plumped up the whole time?   Shut up!  But they looked so real!  She could have taken that secret to her grave.  Why did she tell us now? Then her store gets robbed on live TV!  Why now? A robbery in broad daylight? She doesn’t need all this drama just when she’s launching her new reality show –  just bad luck I guess.

2. Michael Bolton upset that Bruno told him he sucked?  The truth hurts.  Why would someone with zero coordination agree to do the show?  Does he enjoy being mocked?  First the hair, and now this.

3. Octomom going on welfare? Looks like she had her 15 minutes.  Or was it 15 kids? I can’t remember.  Every time she spoke, I could only stare at those sausage lips, trying to figure out how they got that way, and everything else was a blur.

4. Jerry Brown’s camp calls Meg Whitman a whore.  My dictionary defines whore as “a venal or unscrupulous person.”  It describes venal as “capable of being bought for money or open to corrupt influence.” These kinds of accusations have no place in politics.

5. Tiger Woods in a sex tape? Whaat? No way! I wouldn’t pay to see it.  I’ll wait for the box set.

I was contacted by the Game Show Network yesterday asking if I’d be interested in hosting a new game show. My reaction was… letmethinkaboutitno.  I’m not sure there’s anything that would drive me back to TV, I guess because I never felt like I belonged there in the first place.  The whole twelve years I spent on the air, my biggest fear was that someone would find out it was a big mistake to give me my own show and this dream job would suddenly be taken away.  But the show kept going and I thought it was only through sheer luck – I was at the right place at the right time and the executives just didn’t think it through. So maybe it’s the fear of being found out this time, or maybe it’s just more fun baking cookies in my pajamas.  For all those of you asking if I would do Dancing with the Stars, first: I can’t dance so they’d have to change the name to Falling Down with the Stars and second: I’d have to dance in handcuffs after being arrested for trying to strangle Bruno. 😉

Congratulations, William!

He was the very first entry after this morning’s clue and he just won $100 Visa gift card!  The three fakes show titles were:

#1 You think you’re ideal but that chest doesn’t look real.

#3 Girl, here’s the plan – you need to get your own man. &

#19 Your man’s not a hero – you need to drop that zero.

Thanks, everybody, for playing.  Stay tuned for more fun games and free money!

UPDATE:

We just heard from William who lives in Wisconsin and said he was playing against his wife, Jamie, and it was “good to beat her (all in good fun, of course).”

Here’s a photo of them both  hiking along the south rim of the Grand Canyon this past summer. William is a huge Chicago Bears fan (displaced from MN to the middle of Packer-land)! William, my show taped in Chicago and I agree – the Chicago Bears rule!  Congrats again.

Here it is: this is your Thursday clue

My sister left this morning back to Canada. We had three days of non-stop fun with lots of shopping. Her best bargain was a pair of Old Navy cotton summer pants (it was 98 degrees!) at the Goodwill store for $4.00! We also went to Universal Citywalk, Farmer’s Market, and we ate Italian food until we hurt. We also found time to sit in my back yard and watch the hummingbirds. We had a great time… only one problem:

It’s three hours later where she lives and she gets up at 5 am which is 2 am here. So by 6 am here, she’s ready to have breakfast and go out, but nothing’s open. Wait, there’s more.  She gets ready for bed around 8 pm at home, which is 5 pm here. That’s not even dinner time! So bottom line: we were both jet lagged, each with our zombie moments. Her trying to stay up late and me trying to get up early. But we were both great between 10 and 2! Good times.
