Bonus Episode - The Rosie O'Donnell Show

Speaker 3 Hey, folks, it's David.

Speaker 1 And it's Graham, and you're looking good.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 5 Yeah, what are you doing?

Speaker 1 Yeah, boy.

Speaker 4 Ah.

Speaker 5 New haircut or just muscles?

Speaker 2 What's happening? Did you put beer goggles on us?

Speaker 6 Yeah, man. You look good.

Speaker 7 Anyway, hey, here's what's happening.

Speaker 3 The Max Fun Drive is coming up very soon.

Speaker 11 Yeah, I'm excited as hell.

Speaker 12 And every year we have a couple weeks where we ask people to support the show.

Speaker 14 And this year is just the same.

Speaker 15 Absolutely. And you may not know if you haven't joined that Dave and I are the kings of Boco.

Speaker 18 And bonus content is bonus content for the end initiative.

Speaker 3 Yes, yeah.

Speaker 15 And we put out a great amount of them and they're so, so funny, the episodes.

Speaker 10 You want to hear them.

Speaker 20 And so we thought we would just let you have one of this year's many bonus content episodes for free as a little teaser to get you.

Speaker 3 Prime your pump.

Speaker 21 And this is like, yeah, this is like a Costco

Speaker 22 in a little nibbling

Speaker 1 sample.

Speaker 2 Except you can have this whole episode.

Speaker 16 Yeah, you would deserve it.

Speaker 27 So it's an episode where we watched old episodes of the Rosie O'Donnell show and tried to guess what her intro was going to be.

Speaker 29 And you know what?

Speaker 2 It was fun through.

Speaker 29 At the beginning of the episode, we weren't sure if they did it every time.

Speaker 6 So I thought we were going to be out of content so fast.

Speaker 22 You're going to hear it. And

Speaker 32 keep an ear out for Max Fun Drive coming up very soon.

Speaker 1 And you know what? Whatever you're doing, keep doing it.

Speaker 5 You look good.

Speaker 34 Well, folks, thanks for listening.

Speaker 37 And from all of us here.

Speaker 38 Should we do another bonus episode?

Speaker 12 It sounds like we're ending an episode.

Speaker 10 It sounds like it's ending.

Speaker 42 Like you just, that's this is you got what you paid for this month.

Speaker 22 We uh well you enjoyed.

Speaker 27 I just got an idea for another bonus episode. It's we you hear like the last five seconds of an episode and then you just hear us muttering to ourselves for 45 minutes.

Speaker 5 Yeah.

Speaker 47 Well, if you're here, that means you're a member of Max Fun and we're glad to have you.

Speaker 16 A lot of people say this and it doesn't, you know, it's never been more true that we're the kings of Boco.

Speaker 50 And

Speaker 15 so you're lucky, you know, it's you're playing, you're playing the game and you're coming up with all aces because here we are doing another episode.

Speaker 42 But this time it's a brand new style of show. This Dave invented a format.

Speaker 34 And I can't wait. Take it it away, Dave.

Speaker 52 Okay, so we got a few weeks ago.

Speaker 53 Boy, who was our guest even?

Speaker 54 Oh, wasn't it Christine and I wanted to say that?

Speaker 52 It was Bort Dog. Yeah.

Speaker 3 We were talking about the Rosie O'Donnell show.

Speaker 12 And we...

Speaker 42 If people out there don't know the Rosie O'Donnell show,

Speaker 59 tell a brief synopsis.

Speaker 25 Rosie O'Donnell.

Speaker 36 was born in 1962 in Brooklyn.

Speaker 60 I don't know.

Speaker 5 Is that right?

Speaker 52 How far do you think I am from the right age?

Speaker 10 1962? Yeah, I'd say that's probably the right.

Speaker 25 You know what?

Speaker 32 I'm going to go 1958.

Speaker 4 58?

Speaker 32 I don't know. I'm going to guess.

Speaker 22 That's my guess. Oh, okay.

Speaker 25 She was born in...

Speaker 31 Oh, my God.

Speaker 17 Why did I question myself?

Speaker 64 March 21st, 1962.

Speaker 30 Shit, in Brooklyn?

Speaker 55 Comac.

Speaker 65 Comac, C-O-M-M-A-C-K, New York.

Speaker 4 Okay.

Speaker 39 So she's a New York girl through and through.

Speaker 66 Well, it depends where this place is.

Speaker 22 Yeah, it's on Long Island.

Speaker 54 Long Island, okay.

Speaker 67 And boom, she comes into existence.

Speaker 13 She comes into existence.

Speaker 22 Now, her childhood, fraught.

Speaker 34 Oh, really? Tough?

Speaker 68 I have an actual...

Speaker 69 I picture her as being a real tomboy growing up.

Speaker 10 That's how I picture her fishing and keeping a frog in her pocket.

Speaker 8 Yeah, I mean, Tom Boy, that's why she loved Tom Cruise so much, because they could both relate to the Tom stuff.

Speaker 72 She only wears Toms of Maine.

Speaker 49 She listens to the Tom Tom Club.

Speaker 44 Etc.

Speaker 19 And so she's a comedian.

Speaker 60 Yeah.

Speaker 12 And she started out as a stand-up comedian.

Speaker 17 She, you know, rose to fame.

Speaker 26 She played Rizzo in Greece on Broadway.

Speaker 66 She played

Speaker 29 a woman in bondage gear in Exit to Eden.

Speaker 15 What's the one where she plays a developmentally challenged

Speaker 21 piece? It's called like the bus.

Speaker 20 Riding the bus with my sister or something.

Speaker 54 Yes, that's the one.

Speaker 50 And she, of course, she was at her pinnacle, Rosie O'Donnellness, when she was in

Speaker 4 a League of Their Own.

Speaker 33 A League of Their Own, my favorite as well.

Speaker 69 Yeah, her and Madonna made quite a duo.

Speaker 68 They really do. And they were friends off.

Speaker 33 I don't know if that's how they became friends, but they were friends off air as well.

Speaker 48 Honestly, if they did a spin-off with just those two,

Speaker 49 their further adventures in baseball, I would have loved it.

Speaker 68 I would have watched that. At the very end,

Speaker 17 when I ran the kid casting website,

Speaker 26 at the very end, there's like all the people from the 40s, 50 years later.

Speaker 22 The people they cast as old Rosie O'Donnell and Madonna were perfect.

Speaker 4 Oh, yeah?

Speaker 48 So it wasn't them just wearing

Speaker 80 old makeup?

Speaker 50 It was just...

Speaker 19 No, it was two different actresses.

Speaker 9 And also, the guy they got to play...

Speaker 22 There was the shitty little kid running around the team.

Speaker 44 And the guy they got to play him at the end was

Speaker 9 former Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart.

Speaker 53 That's not true. No, but he looks like him.

Speaker 8 It's the guy

Speaker 12 from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.

Speaker 20 Yeah.

Speaker 44 What else was he in?

Speaker 39 He was in Teen Wolf. He was one of the.

Speaker 33 Yes, he was on the basketball team.

Speaker 54 He was on the basketball team. Yeah.

Speaker 3 And so the Rosie O'Donnell show was a thing that she hosted.

Speaker 32 What years would you guess?

Speaker 10 I would guess either like the tail end of the 90s or the,

Speaker 39 I would say in the 90s, like 97 is when it would have started.

Speaker 65 It started on June 10th, 1996.

Speaker 23 96, okay.

Speaker 9 And then went till 2002, June 27th, 2002, where when it was taken over by, in a hostile takeover, taken over by Ellen.

Speaker 5 Remember?

Speaker 22 No, Carolyn Ray.

Speaker 3 Caroline Ray?

Speaker 5 Oh, Carolyn Ray.

Speaker 54 She's had an interesting career.

Speaker 74 She's played a witch.

Speaker 83 Well, that's for another episode.

Speaker 10 Yeah, that's for a Carolyn Ray episode.

Speaker 52 So, but when we were talking about the Rosie O'Donnell show, now this was like a

Speaker 60 nighttime style talk show in the afternoon.

Speaker 86 Yes.

Speaker 72 Perhaps the first of its kind. She was at a desk.

Speaker 17 She had guests on, celebrity guests, not just like Donahue style guests.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 10 And she would like it would be celebrities, right? It would be like big name.

Speaker 49 Yeah. It wasn't like

Speaker 16 Gigi Allen or something like that.

Speaker 28 It was rarely Gig Allen.

Speaker 20 Although it's when I say it's the first of its kind, certainly Regis was doing the same.

Speaker 39 Oh, sure. I mean, Reg is, but you could say that about a lot of things.

Speaker 54 Reg was at the

Speaker 39 genesis of a lot of different things. We love Regis.

Speaker 39 I hope that he's up there just crooning with

Speaker 15 the whole rat pack, which he was kind of friends with.

Speaker 33 Yeah, he was known for his crooning.

Speaker 22 Anyway, so in this Rosie O'Donnell show,

Speaker 22 I loved it, by the way, when it started.

Speaker 14 I did too. Yeah.

Speaker 25 Because I was trying to think, when did I watch this show?

Speaker 88 It came out in June, started June 10th of 1996.

Speaker 60 And I'm like, I bet that whole summer I watched it because i think i i think it was probably on like at three o'clock so i couldn't catch the the beginning when i was in school but all summer long i was and she was

Speaker 10 uh going right up against oprah wasn't she

Speaker 31 i don't know i can't that stuff with no is not in part of my uh that's not a way i understand

Speaker 79 um

Speaker 32 anyway so In every episode, we'll play the theme.

Speaker 12 You know what?

Speaker 18 Let's play the opening of an episode.

Speaker 81 Yes.

Speaker 32 And we'll get a handle on it.

Speaker 91 I'm Melissa Shotlin from Block Island, Rhode Island, and this is the Rosie O'Donnell Show. On today's show, Regis Phillman meet Rosie's classmates and Scott Wolf.

Speaker 92 Hit it, John.

Speaker 17 So they just had some random person from the audience

Speaker 20 announcing the guests.

Speaker 76 And then they play this theme song, this animated intro.

Speaker 50 Oh, Scott Wolfe was on this episode.

Speaker 93 Yeah, it was a way to bury the lead, I say.

Speaker 36 Well, she said it in the intro.

Speaker 94 She did. She said, Scott Wolfe.

Speaker 93 I only heard the reach.

Speaker 66 Yeah, well,

Speaker 28 you got tunnel vision when you heard that.

Speaker 87 Anyway, so they do this little intro.

Speaker 13 It looks

Speaker 69 animated, very silly kind of.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 72 It looks and sounds like the nanny intro.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes.

Speaker 69 And it's all sorts of hilarious images going to space.

Speaker 21 It's her as a kid.

Speaker 22 But the thing that I always remembered was you hear who the guests are going to be, and then she does a little...

Speaker 84 Well, she said right there.

Speaker 73 He's a man of prestige.

Speaker 42 prestige, my good buddy Rege.

Speaker 4 Yeah,

Speaker 39 which is a

Speaker 51 classic, yeah.

Speaker 37 I mean,

Speaker 96 what do you mean?

Speaker 85 I mean, it's uh

Speaker 67 he's a classic, and I mean, to just the rhyme, it seems like it's probably been used before, but maybe not.

Speaker 69 Maybe she invented it.

Speaker 10 Do you think she wrote these things?

Speaker 9 Well, here's the thing: on today's bonus episode, now that we're going to do a little backstory, Graham and I will watch a bunch of these intros and try to guess what her little rhyme is going to to be.

Speaker 4 Okay. Okay.

Speaker 69 Yes, this is going to be good.

Speaker 32 So, your question: Did she write these things?

Speaker 48 Did she write them, or was there a writer that like she got a stack of them and kind of

Speaker 72 I guarantee it was a writer, did a stack of them, and she would

Speaker 19 she would just go into the booth and

Speaker 33 like pound out a week's worth in a minute.

Speaker 46 Yeah, that's right, yeah.

Speaker 53 It would be like when Krusty the Clown is in the recording studio.

Speaker 39 Yeah, and so

Speaker 39 you found several of these openings.

Speaker 68 Well, I haven't watched them.

Speaker 72 I just know that there's tons on

Speaker 84 YouTube.

Speaker 61 So

Speaker 44 the one I always remembered from my childhood was

Speaker 68 her name is Christine Lottie, and she's hot, hot, hottie.

Speaker 5 Now, who is Christine Lottie?

Speaker 6 Christine Lottie is an actress who's sort of hot, sort of a hottie.

Speaker 4 Okay, okay.

Speaker 98 No, Christine Lottie is,

Speaker 60 boy, I would put her sort of

Speaker 5 somewhere between Christine Boransky and the woman from the West Wing who played CJ.

Speaker 6 Allison Janey.

Speaker 10 She's sort of in that. Well, Alison Jani, sure.

Speaker 94 Yeah.

Speaker 22 Sort of in that ballpark. Christine Lottie is another actress.

Speaker 2 I couldn't tell you what she was in.

Speaker 61 But,

Speaker 6 all right, so let's just

Speaker 13 see how this goes. Let's pick one.

Speaker 18 Let's just pick this one here.

Speaker 35 They're all on

Speaker 50 okay this is uh

Speaker 100 and i'm donna murphy and we're from new york city and this is the rosie o'donnell show on today's show judge judy author alice walker and vo wbc tv anchor scott wally hit it john okay so we've got judge judy yeah

Speaker 39 i think this one writes itself as far as i'm all right what do you think it's gonna be uh she's a cutie patootie her name is judge judy okay that is so good

Speaker 39 It feels like that's what it wants.

Speaker 103 Everything's fun and Taylor ducks your arm.

Speaker 99 What the hell is that?

Speaker 106 A big high from the big apple, New York.

Speaker 86 What the hell am I witnessing?

Speaker 90 Didn't do one.

Speaker 30 We're fucked.

Speaker 41 Wait, did I dismiss it?

Speaker 75 That's Judy. Mr.
Alice Walker.

Speaker 108 And Vogue.

Speaker 100 WBC.

Speaker 105 And Vogue.

Speaker 108 Scott Wally. Yeah.

Speaker 88 And some anchor, some news anchor.

Speaker 86 Alice Walker.

Speaker 43 Oh, we are screwed.

Speaker 110 Did she not do this every episode?

Speaker 12 Well, that was from October 2nd, 1998.

Speaker 27 Maybe by then she had phased it out.

Speaker 22 Okay.

Speaker 49 It's another cartoon intro, but in this intro, there are like real life people that popped up and like it all.

Speaker 22 Big eye from Big Apple.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 57 As a

Speaker 76 viewer in Vancouver, knowing that one day I might be able to ruin the intro of a TV show.

Speaker 22 Okay, let's try another one.

Speaker 33 Well, let's not do this one from the day before, but you were right.

Speaker 36 It would have been cutie-patooty.

Speaker 55 Right?

Speaker 111 I am Kelly Mary from Shirley Long Island, and this is the Rosie O'Donnell show. Today's guests are Felicia Alicia Rashad, Gary Marshall, Phil Collins and a special Halloween kid segment.
Hit it, John.

Speaker 33 Oh, that's good.

Speaker 26 Okay, so by the way, she called her Rosie O'Donnell.

Speaker 21 And who was it?

Speaker 68 It was Phil Collins.

Speaker 53 What was the...

Speaker 5 I already forget.

Speaker 1 I know.

Speaker 111 I am Kelly Mary from Shirley Long Islands, and this is a Rosie O'Donnell show. Today's guests are Felicia Rashad, Gary Marshall, Phil Collins, and a special Halloween kids segment.

Speaker 14 Okay, so Felicia Rashad, Gary Marshall,

Speaker 22 and Phil Collins. Okay.

Speaker 54 I want to rhyme something with Gary Marshall, but I'm really

Speaker 13 stuck here.

Speaker 72 So this is a Halloween episode.

Speaker 19 If it was a Christmas episode, she'd be saying, Felicia Navidad with Felicia Rashad.

Speaker 85 Oh, that's really good.

Speaker 69 Oh, do you think if she does the pun, do you think it's going to be a Halloween one?

Speaker 28 Because everybody's dressed in crazy costumes.

Speaker 38 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 83 We're going to be extra scary with my favorite Marshall, Gary.

Speaker 21 There it is.

Speaker 39 That's well done.

Speaker 48 And then the show's really Balin's with my friend Phil Collins.

Speaker 6 I don't think we used Balin back then.

Speaker 4 Oh, really?

Speaker 15 I thought she was on the cutting edge.

Speaker 15 We're going to get scary with Felicia, Phil, and Gary.

Speaker 12 Felicia, Phil, and Gary.

Speaker 66 We're going to get scary.

Speaker 15 Nice. So she looped everybody in.

Speaker 10 That's great. Yeah.

Speaker 15 And the cartoon visuals in each one that we've looked are different.

Speaker 48 In this one, she's got a baby.

Speaker 59 She's got a baby and she puts it in a carriage and like pushes it out out of the way.

Speaker 11 She runs on stage.

Speaker 22 I don't know if that's true, that they had

Speaker 6 different

Speaker 36 visuals every time.

Speaker 69 Well, no, everyone that we've seen.

Speaker 50 Like, I'm sure that they were a whole season's worth.

Speaker 54 But go back up for a sec there.

Speaker 54 You're scrolling.

Speaker 88 Oh, she was dressed in a pumpkin costume that's what i wanted to know what she was oh yeah of course she was you know what i'm just gonna kind of i'm gonna mute this but kind of just go through it and see i wonder if she wore different costumes throughout the episode

Speaker 61 oh no she's still oh there's somebody dressed as elmo talking to a big elmo felicia rashad is a pile of leaves

Speaker 22 gary marshall is uh he looks to be wearing like a mechanics outfit or just yeah different jacket that i'm used to seeing him in yeah

Speaker 44 Phil Collins is dressed as Phil Collins.

Speaker 67 Oh, what song is he singing?

Speaker 69 This is killing me.

Speaker 82 I don't know what song.

Speaker 14 This was like the peak era of a song like that.

Speaker 48 I wonder if that was from the

Speaker 61 Tarzan soundtrack. Yeah, I wonder that as well.

Speaker 73 Okay, let's get this was one from July 2nd, 1996.

Speaker 37 This was uploaded by Alan Funk.

Speaker 114 Hi, I'm Pat Alexander from Brooklyn, New York. And this is the Rosie O'Donnell Show.
Today's guests are Cher

Speaker 114 and from Multiplicity, six-year-old Katie Schwartzberg. Music from Broadway's Bringing the Music, Bringing the Funk.
And from Caroline in the City, actor Malcolm Goetz. Hit it, John.

Speaker 6 Okay.

Speaker 16 The fact that it went the step down of share to the kid from Multiplicity.

Speaker 68 From Multiplicity, six-year-old someone.

Speaker 22 Wow.

Speaker 110 And she does four guests every episode.

Speaker 69 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 58 She's a machine, this Rosie O'Donnell.

Speaker 33 But, like, I guess there's no time for a skit.

Speaker 39 But she does a monologue, right?

Speaker 63 Oh, sure, she does.

Speaker 61 Yeah.

Speaker 69 I'm going to say it's as good as it gets with my guest, Matt Goetz.

Speaker 80 Yeah.

Speaker 12 I'm getting wet with my guest

Speaker 2 Getz. Okay.

Speaker 72 And who is it? Cher?

Speaker 63 Share.

Speaker 95 Okay.

Speaker 61 Boy, change your underwear for my good friend Cher.

Speaker 4 Yep.

Speaker 21 Or is there something, I can't remember the kid's name, but it's something about multiplicity.

Speaker 94 We're in the big city with the kid from Multiplicity.

Speaker 5 Hi.

Speaker 5 Hi.

Speaker 86 She always has a baby.

Speaker 49 No, the other one, she was rollerblading.

Speaker 106 She's precious and she's rare. It's the fabulous share.

Speaker 14 She's precious and

Speaker 14 she's rare. It's the fabulous share.

Speaker 53 These are good.

Speaker 10 The weird thing about Multiplicity is I don't even remember there being a kid in that movie.

Speaker 69 I feel like there was a kid kind of in the background, but I want to know this interview she did with this kid.

Speaker 21 Why was this kid on the show?

Speaker 28 Because she was, Graham, you know why she was on.

Speaker 22 Was she an ugly but ugly?

Speaker 37 No.

Speaker 51 An ugly patugly.

Speaker 29 Was she a homely patomely? No.

Speaker 51 No.

Speaker 47 Can we see what one of her like monologue jokes is?

Speaker 55 Because I'm staring.

Speaker 81 Yeah.

Speaker 106 We're doing a live show here you do the announce you're conferring with your friend. What are you talking about?

Speaker 72 She mostly was chastising the audience member who did the intro

Speaker 106 is actually called Bring in the Funk Bring in the Noise. Yeah, but they may think of changing it to bring in the music

Speaker 51 I can

Speaker 106 do that way too Patrick

Speaker 106 You know you have the right to improvise when doing the announce I think

Speaker 12 that is wouldn't that be

Speaker 45 horrifying for the average person to be corrected on live TV?

Speaker 69 I would think the opposite.

Speaker 39 I'd be like,

Speaker 50 being in the kind of getting roasted by Rosie O'Donnell.

Speaker 87 Roasted by the master.

Speaker 35 Oh, darn it.

Speaker 33 Okay.

Speaker 14 Some of these YouTube clips aren't the actual episode.

Speaker 44 So this is, here's one I can tell it's got the intro, although it looks like it's probably from a bad VHS.

Speaker 19 It's from December 18th, 1996.

Speaker 108 Oh, I'm kind of.

Speaker 82 Let's see what this ad is for here.

Speaker 115 For good.

Speaker 114 The elves this year.

Speaker 103 This week it's gifts under $15.

Speaker 108 Kaldor.

Speaker 105 The recording of this is very cute.

Speaker 116 Ladies' box slippers, $6.99. Ladies' leather gloves, $13.99.

Speaker 103 Wilson Fleece activewear for men, 30% off.

Speaker 117 I mean, this stuff, if you showed up in these 90s clothes now, people would think you were the coolest person.

Speaker 81 Yeah.

Speaker 81 Where did you get it?

Speaker 50 At Kaldor.

Speaker 117 I got it at Kaldor 30 years ago.

Speaker 28 From a camp.

Speaker 50 Oh, it's a Thanksgiving scene.

Speaker 116 Some people are a little hard to please. From a box?

Speaker 10 Yeah, it's just passing.

Speaker 55 Let's go.

Speaker 5 Hurry up.

Speaker 118 Get out of here.

Speaker 119 I'm Matt Murphy from Atlanta, Georgia, and this is the Rosie O'Donnell Show. Today's guests are Albert Brooks, Kay Ballard, Natalie Merchant, and Kenneth Branagh.

Speaker 116 Hit it, John.

Speaker 5 Okay, Albert Brown.

Speaker 50 I'm going to eat bananas with my good friend Kenneth Branagh.

Speaker 68 I think it's going to be like, he's got style, he's got looks, is my friend Albert Brooks.

Speaker 15 I think mine's right.

Speaker 5 Okay.

Speaker 120 You're trying to be funny. I'm trying to nail it.

Speaker 86 TV commercials, easy as pie.

Speaker 86 Today my top bananas, Mr.

Speaker 108 Cannon Freddy. What?

Speaker 78 It was so close.

Speaker 33 What did she say?

Speaker 21 She said something banana.

Speaker 4 She said something.

Speaker 4 Today my top bananas, Mr. Cannon Fredela.

Speaker 49 Today, my top bananas, Mr.

Speaker 88 Cannon Frederick? Oh, yeah.

Speaker 3 She's really like not enunciating.

Speaker 36 She's trying to record as many as she can.

Speaker 4 So I got it. Pretty well.

Speaker 22 That was great.

Speaker 28 I'm very proud of you.

Speaker 56 Okay. Proud of myself.

Speaker 76 Now, this is one from 1999.

Speaker 17 I'm worried that these ones post-98 don't have the little rhyme.

Speaker 4 I think I'm for sure post-9-11.

Speaker 59 It was

Speaker 54 too heady a time.

Speaker 74 America was wounded and just they weren't ready for

Speaker 22 Osama bin Laden.

Speaker 4 I'm with my friend the Gollum.

Speaker 51 The Gollum.

Speaker 112 California, and this is the Rosie O'Donnell Show. On today's show, Vanessa Williams and Eurythmics.

Speaker 111 Hit it, John.

Speaker 90 Okay.

Speaker 16 Today, my top pick is the Eurythmnix.

Speaker 13 Eurythminics.

Speaker 56 Yeah.

Speaker 4 That's only two guests that they said.

Speaker 17 Yeah, Vanessa Williams is going to sing, too, probably with the arrhythmic.

Speaker 4 What song was hers?

Speaker 69 You saved the best for last? Yeah.

Speaker 63 Yeah.

Speaker 53 That was a jam.

Speaker 12 What? Vanessa Williams.

Speaker 20 She's my top banana.

Speaker 29 It's Vanessa Williams, I guess.

Speaker 33 Oh, that sucks.

Speaker 53 That did suck.

Speaker 89 Let's give a big cheer. The arrhythmics are here.

Speaker 33 First of all, it's just your rhythmics.

Speaker 3 And second of all, you could say that about anyone.

Speaker 39 I feel like this episode, they would probably have to do a lot of sketches because they only have the two guests. Even if Vanessa Williams does a song,

Speaker 50 she's not going to interview the arrhythmics.

Speaker 120 She might interview your arrhythmics.

Speaker 106 Bottom part of my ensemble.

Speaker 106 Half of my arrhythmics outfit because I'll be performing with them.

Speaker 15 Do you think one of the one of the fun things about being a talk show host is signaling the band

Speaker 16 when to stop when you walk out to do your monologue?

Speaker 21 I feel like that's a big draw.

Speaker 51 Yeah.

Speaker 18 She's John McVeigh and the McVeigh LT, I think was the name of the band.

Speaker 4 That's awesome.

Speaker 2 Is that what it was called?

Speaker 18 Mick V. John McDaniel and the McDaniel

Speaker 1 and the Cocker Spaniels

Speaker 32 John McD.

Speaker 3 John she his name was John McD McDaniel she called him John McD and the McDLTs

Speaker 19 oh okay so she does it she does a bit of a monologue she mostly does chatting from the desk with those blue note cards and then uh

Speaker 40 they're doing some kind of plinkos oh this is oh this is plinko bits called in sinko stacy shu 14 years old from ballior

Speaker 29 She's doing some kind of contest that's Plinko, but it's In Synco.

Speaker 76 I guess this is November 11th, 1999, and In Sync is as big as it'll ever be.

Speaker 81 Yeah.

Speaker 93 And then who?

Speaker 10 I forget. Oh, it's Vanessa Williams.

Speaker 22 Vanelli Williams comes out in a white suit.

Speaker 44 Eurythmic Singh.

Speaker 5 Yeah.

Speaker 72 Oh, and she does talk to them for a while.

Speaker 79 Yes, that's fun.

Speaker 49 Oh, and they're dressed in military fatigue.

Speaker 17 Well, they're actually like suits, but they're camo suits.

Speaker 16 Camo suits.

Speaker 61 Like, you know, like

Speaker 2 tailored clothing.

Speaker 20 All right, now then Rosie is going to do a song with them, and we've got to hear this.

Speaker 112 Yes, I will.

Speaker 49 Oh, no, she's put on the outfit, too.

Speaker 14 Oh, she's just singing background.

Speaker 72 She's amongst their two background singers.

Speaker 48 That is. Let's see if she really improvises.

Speaker 72 Dave Stewart playing a less called to lunch song.

Speaker 65 Do you know this song?

Speaker 82 No.

Speaker 49 It's a missionary man.

Speaker 99 Such a voice.

Speaker 86 Oh, I do not need this long intro.

Speaker 39 I do know this one.

Speaker 50 They're not cutting to Rosie's singing at all.

Speaker 3 No, they're not.

Speaker 2 You know the songs about how she has her least favorite sexual position?

Speaker 40 Is Missionary Man.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 95 I prefer doggy dial marriage.

Speaker 37 Okay, give me more Rosie.

Speaker 81 Yeah.

Speaker 47 Come on. Give me

Speaker 54 one more taste.

Speaker 60 One more.

Speaker 6 We've got half an hour to film. Oh, shit.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 49 Give me more tastes.

Speaker 52 We might watch, you know,

Speaker 61 the nanny theme song later.

Speaker 74 Yeah, we could, we really could go through the view theme song.

Speaker 10 Do they have a theme song or just an announcement?

Speaker 22 Rosie O'Donnell,

Speaker 8 December 19th, 1996, featuring Elmo.

Speaker 32 Your rhyme ready.

Speaker 100 Hey! Oh! It's Elmo from Sesame Street, and this is the Rosie O'Donnell show!

Speaker 100 Today's guests are Roe, Whoopi Goldberg!

Speaker 100 Yeah!

Speaker 100 Yes! And the Dreshers!

Speaker 100 What?

Speaker 23 I don't know, the Dreshers?

Speaker 89 So, okay.

Speaker 9 Whoopi Goldberg.

Speaker 22 Presumably Elmo will be there.

Speaker 24 The Dreshers?

Speaker 68 Was it Fran Dresher and friends?

Speaker 93 Oh, maybe. That'd be awesome.

Speaker 33 And what was the last one? Crystal Bernard?

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 40 And I'm going to say that

Speaker 10 it's not going to rhyme, but it's going to be like, today, Big Whoopee, it's my friend Whoopee.

Speaker 23 Something like that. Oh, sure.

Speaker 33 This episode goes hard with Crystal Bernard.

Speaker 21 This episode's got us in Helmo.

Speaker 10 We're talking to my friend Elmo.

Speaker 33 She acts, she sings, Crystal Bernard from Wings.

Speaker 68 That's good.

Speaker 22 I want to go back in time and get

Speaker 36 a job on this show.

Speaker 22 Yeah, me too.

Speaker 17 Okay, this is a weird episode.

Speaker 12 There's no, they don't do it.

Speaker 8 She just goes up and talks to Elmo, and there's no theme song.

Speaker 82 Yeah, dude, that was the Christmas gift to us all was just

Speaker 5 poor Elmo.

Speaker 4 Okay, I bet.

Speaker 53 I apologize.

Speaker 48 It's also worth saying that Elmo is wearing like a collar and cuffs, like much like a Chippendale would wear.

Speaker 7 Yeah, but like Christmas-themed.

Speaker 54 Christmas-themed, yeah.

Speaker 76 Like, if you're feeling festive and horny,

Speaker 91 Thomas, and from Super Cop, kickbox some Michelle Khan.

Speaker 99 Hit it, John.

Speaker 30 Well, we don't get any of the other people.

Speaker 91 Thomas, and from Super Cop, kickbox a Michelle Khan.

Speaker 105 Super.

Speaker 49 Oh, Jonathan Taylor Thomas.

Speaker 108 Yeah,

Speaker 106 We got Davey, Mick, and Peter.

Speaker 22 The monkeys. Monkeys.

Speaker 117 So Life Could Not Be Sweeter. We got Davey, Mick, and Peter.

Speaker 2 This was when Michael Nesmith was not involved.

Speaker 54 That's right. Yeah.

Speaker 77 This was a weird time in America.

Speaker 26 The monkeys are your top guests.

Speaker 3 And Jonathan Taylor Thomas is third.

Speaker 10 But the monkeys are going to be panel and singing, right?

Speaker 11 They're going to do some funny monkeys-esque monkey shines, I guess.

Speaker 65 Yeah, okay. This is one from December 4th, 2001.

Speaker 24 Christmas Eve.

Speaker 4 Oh, Christmas Eve. Holy shit.

Speaker 32 Yeah.

Speaker 43 I can see from the episode description that it's Maggie Smith and Sissy Spacek are the guests.

Speaker 49 She couldn't get more basic.

Speaker 69 It's my guest, Cissy Spacek.

Speaker 53 Oh, she's she's

Speaker 32 cute little Missy.

Speaker 25 It's my friend, Sissy.

Speaker 21 Both good. Both good.

Speaker 90 Let's try it.

Speaker 90 Well, it ain't no myth. We got Maggie Smith.

Speaker 12 It ain't no myth.

Speaker 33 We got Maggie Smith.

Speaker 4 Well, that's all right.

Speaker 66 It's not as good as what we came up with, but I know.

Speaker 53 Christmas Eve episode, too.

Speaker 88 Give me something festive.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 10 The hell, who's watching Rosie on Christmas Eve?

Speaker 54 I guess a lot of people, probably.

Speaker 6 Yeah, everyone who's home,

Speaker 5 which is almost everyone.

Speaker 53 All right,

Speaker 77 this is one that was during Stormwatch 96.

Speaker 55 Okay.

Speaker 80 Is the weather hotline being advertised?

Speaker 61 Yeah, you can call 1-888-660-WARN to warn...

Speaker 37 You're warning the...

Now we join Rosie O'Donnell.

Speaker 60 O'Donnell, again.

Speaker 21 Okay, Balthasargetti, Isabella Rossellini, Greg Fitzsimmons,

Speaker 90 Donald.

Speaker 87 Estelle Getty, Isabella Rossellini,

Speaker 44 Greg Fitzsimmons, Robin Matson.

Speaker 13 Oh, you know what this means?

Speaker 33 It means we missed it.

Speaker 22 The fact that they're showing the names of the guests, we've missed her little rhyme.

Speaker 67 Oh, don't we see the guests first and then we see the rhyme?

Speaker 102 And she's like flying into the set.

Speaker 71 Well, no, I think the guests come after she does the rhyme, but I mean, I'm sure it was everybody get ready for Estelle Getty.

Speaker 118 Yeah, that weather watch really screwed us.

Speaker 10 Weather watch.

Speaker 15 Fucking Weather Watch Storm 96.

Speaker 10 Do you think Bill Murray was ever on the Rosie O'Donnell show?

Speaker 118 Boy, only if she knew that 1-800 number.

Speaker 69 Because I just wonder what type of

Speaker 11 relationship they would have in an interview.

Speaker 23 Well, that doesn't work.

Speaker 60 Well, we're doing it anyway.

Speaker 53 That's right.

Speaker 33 We'll just do one more.

Speaker 62 Okay, this is Jimmy Snoola.

Speaker 49 They're not twins, but they're both named Tim.

Speaker 22 Yeah, we got both the Tims.

Speaker 69 Or you'll be in awe.

Speaker 86 That's good.

Speaker 86 Well, I'm shouting Yeehaw for Tim McGraw.

Speaker 31 Shouting.

Speaker 3 Shouting Yeehaw for Tim McGraw.

Speaker 21 And that works because he's a country.

Speaker 20 He is a country kind of guy.

Speaker 35 And we'll just watch one more, and it goes a little something

Speaker 2 like this.

Speaker 78 She was working in a bridal shop in Flushing Queens, till her boyfriend picked her up in one of those crushing.

Speaker 68 Where did she need to go? She was out on her family.

Speaker 78 So over the bridge from Flushing to the Sheffield's door, she was there to sell makeup.

Speaker 99 But the father saw more.

Speaker 97 She became the nanny.

Speaker 24 Who would have guessed that the girl had described?

Speaker 99 Exactly what the music described.

Speaker 117 And the kids are actually smiling.

Speaker 38 Some joie.

Speaker 38 She's the lady in red with the snow.

Speaker 78 Flashing.

Speaker 5 The nanny-named friend.

Speaker 5 Ruled. That show ruled.

Speaker 85 That ruled.

Speaker 51 The theme song ruled.

Speaker 97 The theme song.

Speaker 52 I thought the theme song might be.

Speaker 76 you know, I thought the theme song might have more sort of...

Speaker 17 I thought the voice would be similar to the Rosie O'Donnell one, but I think the animation was pretty similar.

Speaker 69 Yeah, the animation was similar.

Speaker 20 And for that.

Speaker 67 I like a theme song that explains you up to the current point that you're watching.

Speaker 49 Like, okay, this is

Speaker 82 setting the stage. Okay, yeah.

Speaker 83 Well, that is a format of the show of the bonus episodes that we will never do again.

Speaker 48 yeah this was a one and done unless

Speaker 95 you know somebody out there has a bunch of VHS tapes of the Rosie O'Donnell yeah keep uploading your Rosie O'Donnell intros um

Speaker 26 I can't promise

Speaker 38 we were not promising anything I don't think we were very good at coming up with the things I think we were I think we were average I think we were right yeah I think our the I guess what I mean is like we didn't nail what she said but I think we were pretty good at like getting the vibe of them.

Speaker 58 And,

Speaker 42 you know, the vibe of Rosie O'Donnell, wherever you are now, Rosie,

Speaker 15 we had a really good time with you and your show.

Speaker 10 So thanks for bringing that to us.
