Programming note

March 31st, 2009 · 46 Comments

Sorry for all the mystery, but since this is April Fool’s related, I have to keep quiet until the last minute.

I’m about to get on a plane to New York to go tape a show. I’ll Twitter the info tomorrow morning. Wish me luck.

This will either be wildly funny, or it will all go horribly wrong and I’ll really have to start drinking in earnest.

    …and if not earnest, then the airport bar.

  • 2 Ira Shlamazel // Mar 31, 2009 at 8:00 am

    I’m guessing Martha Stewart…

    I’m also guessing it will be wildly funny AND go horribly wrong.

    Hard sayin’ not knowin’

    I wonder if April knows that the Jackie Thomas show was canceled years ago.

    HEY!! Maybe thats part of Aprils Aprils fools. She is going to trick us into thinking that they are bringing back bad television.

    Bringing back bad television?!?

    Can’t bring something back that never left…

  • 5 Ira Shlamazel // Mar 31, 2009 at 9:08 am

    Nobody mention Nip/Tuck- it will send pal Jackie right over the edge… and I think she’s suffered enough.

  • 6 Dave // Mar 31, 2009 at 9:20 am

    I think I am going pass out on the new beige carpet…
    Mighty good luck to you April!!!

    If you are going to start drinking in earnest may I suggest Lucid Absinthe. You might not like the taste but there’s so much alcohol in it that you won’t care.

  • 8 Speedy Cerviche // Mar 31, 2009 at 11:36 am

    “Martha Stewart” would fit nicely in that redacted space…

  • 9 Ira Shlamazel // Mar 31, 2009 at 11:43 am

    Yes, Speedy, and the “At your earliest convenience” has a very Martha tone to it. Polite, but deadly serious.

    Don’t fuck with Martha, April, for the love of all that is holy, or she will pick your bones clean!

  • 10 clevelandphil // Mar 31, 2009 at 11:56 am

    Martha Stewart or Bonnie Hunt. April will have to contend with all the screaming bitches in the audience. What is wrong with them? I thought the Assenio Hall woof woof was bad, but the screaming mimis are the worse.

    hey if it is martha stuart, I predicted that yesterday(monday) on the previous blog(2001).

  • 12 Ira Shlamazel // Mar 31, 2009 at 1:07 pm

    So you did Jackie!

    clevelandphil, Bonnie Hunt tapes in L.A.

    From Martha’s site:
    “It’s April Fools’ Day, and everyone — including our audience full of people named “April” — is joining in the fun! First, Martha is joined by the talented Anil Kapoor (”Slumdog Millionaire”), and you never know what will happen on this most “foolish” of holidays. Then, chef April Bloomfield of popular Manhattan gastro pub The Spotted Pig prepares some delicious hors d’oeuvres that may just bring the April fool out in you: ramps and bacon bruschetta, smoked mackerel pate, and cheese beignets. Plus, Crafts Week continues when Martha shows a lucky member of our studio audience how to make unique heat-embossed stationery, a perfect way to send personalized messages any day of the year.”

    And everyone thank pal Jackie for delaying her rampage.

    I’m sure it was very difficult for her.

  • 14 EverybodysLittlePony // Mar 31, 2009 at 1:20 pm

    This is a lot of responsibility, but your mother and I are expecting great things from you, young lady. Don’t disappoint us, or the Percodan goes in the closet for a week.

  • 15 Nusa // Mar 31, 2009 at 1:54 pm

    April and Earnest go drinking?

    Wildly wrong and horribly funny!

  • 16 socalfrank // Mar 31, 2009 at 3:38 pm

    It’s not the Today Show or The Early show….too much space in that blacked out area.

  • 17 pal Jacky // Mar 31, 2009 at 5:00 pm

    I hope it is martha stewart. But would the courts even allow april to be in the vicinity of a convicted felon? Every time I try to get on NBC there’s a 13 year old and no Chris Hanson.

    martha said today everyone in the audience on april fools has the same first name. Eye wonder what that name is?

  • 20 Speedy Cerviche // Mar 31, 2009 at 5:34 pm

    Ira beat you to it, Egregious. Try to keep up with the discussion.

  • 21 Andre // Mar 31, 2009 at 6:27 pm

    Wait. Here’s more from Martha’s site:

    “In another entertaining segment, Martha welcomes renowned cow voice April Winchell to the show. April shows Martha how to prepare some of Vincent Price’s favorite recipes and later, the two compare prison tattoos.”

  • 22 jaxworlds // Apr 1, 2009 at 4:37 am

    Thats very humerous Andre.. but if you were really an AW fan you would know that AW is actually a very talented sock puppet crafter and will show MS how to knit a cool mutated alien puppet doll.

  • 23 Scott // Apr 1, 2009 at 7:36 am

    OMG! The Martha segment was hilarious. If I didn’t know it was a put on I would have hated you for your obnoxiousness. Well done!

  • 24 pal Jacky // Apr 1, 2009 at 8:23 am

    All Aprils!!!
    I’m hoping my favorite diplomat April Glaspie is there as well. She’s the bitch that told our then ally Saddam Hussien the the USA wouldn’t infringe on Iraq’s border dispute with Kuwait right before the first gulf war.
    Didn’t hussien know that kuwait bought out the president’s son’s failing oil business and we owed Kuwait big time. Actually, america didn’t know that since that son would become our president 10 years later. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Glaspie

  • 25 DavidinBerkeley // Apr 1, 2009 at 10:56 am

    I don’t think I’ll get to see the segment. What was AW’s tattoo?

  • 26 goofydes // Apr 1, 2009 at 11:38 am

    I loved it when April took out her gum and put in on the table.

  • 27 Stretch99 // Apr 1, 2009 at 12:36 pm

    “April shows Martha how to prepare some of Vincent Price’s favorite recipes ”

  • 28 Dave // Apr 1, 2009 at 3:36 pm

    April & Martha! April & Martha!! April & Mothra!!!
    Delightful Show!!!!
    Love that show!!!!!!!!!

  • 29 Ira Shlamazel // Apr 1, 2009 at 4:17 pm

    Dave, you sound like Beulah from Fibber McGee and Molly.

  • 30 jaxworlds // Apr 1, 2009 at 4:44 pm

    God the studio must have smelled like sewage after that Indian cooking segment with that goofy Bollywood Regis. April should have done the cooking segment and Regis should have done the greeting cards..

  • 31 Speedy Cerviche // Apr 1, 2009 at 5:03 pm

    Just downloaded the Martha show.

    Spaghetti tree, man. Comedy gold.

    Haven’t reached the April part yet. I’ll keep you updated on my progress.

  • 32 Nusa // Apr 1, 2009 at 5:18 pm

    Ever notice that Martha likes guests who are shorter than her?

    Money jokes were banned? I was waiting for “You don’t look like a billionaire in person.” or something like that.

  • 33 Ira Shlamazel // Apr 1, 2009 at 7:00 pm

    Tiny little April

  • 34 John Foley // Apr 1, 2009 at 7:00 pm

    I would have asked Martha if she pumped a lot of iron in the joint.

  • 35 pal Jacky // Apr 1, 2009 at 8:22 pm

    I’m glad april came on when she did. anymore of the cooking lentils and the other usual talk show drivel, I would have been on the 4th street overpass with an assault rifle. I cook lentils. I have a vegetarian sister who loves my lentils. The secret is to sautee the onions and garlic, etc things in some vegetable oil first. Not eevo,any cook worth their salt knows you don’t heat EEVO, perhaps a little in the pasta pan, even there good old canola oil works just fine.

  • 36 socalfrank // Apr 1, 2009 at 11:59 pm

    I want to know what Martha said to April (Winchell) when they went to commercial. Was she nice or did she fire an intern?

  • 37 Ira Shlamazel // Apr 2, 2009 at 12:02 am

    pal Jacky appears conflicted. One minute expressing violent rage, the next delicious vegetarian recipes.

    Are you by any chance… Sarah Wiener?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcU0496DPwY … April was wonderful. I don’t think Martha found it funny.

  • 40 Stretch99 // Apr 2, 2009 at 8:47 am

    Its hard to know with Martha – she always looks like she has a turd under her nose – a well manicured turd- but one just the same

  • 41 Stretch99 // Apr 2, 2009 at 9:24 am

    Tell us: Did Martha spring for First Class air travel?

  • 42 PeekaBooRevue // Apr 2, 2009 at 10:29 am

    Looking great 8ball! When the stamp-pad wasn’t included it reminded me of the Halloween merch you ordered from her that arrived, what, 2 weeks late?

    Thank HurricaneBoy for the link! *muah*

  • 43 DavidinBerkeley // Apr 2, 2009 at 11:08 am

    I’m downloading this now and will watch tonight.

    I’m going to guess by the table MS is standing at that they did some sort of paper craft. Origami?

    Then did AW sing, just like guests used to do on The Dinah Shore Show?

    “Here’s a song I’d like to dedicate to all you women out there. You know who you are!”

  • 44 DavidinBerkeley // Apr 2, 2009 at 11:08 am

    And thanks for the link H-boy!

  • 45 bnaivar // Apr 2, 2009 at 12:43 pm

    Does Martha even HAVE a sense of humor?

  • 46 pal Jacky // Apr 3, 2009 at 10:41 am

    Is sarah weiner single? we she trade sex for a green card?C’mon the people who gassed six million jews can’t take a few skinned bunnies?
