Creepy Letterman vid - TVBARN.COM

tvbarn — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 23:48:39 +0000

	Creepy Letterman vid - TVBARN.COM Perhaps accused blackmailer Joe Halderman should have been watching "Late Show with David Letterman" on Sept. 30, 2009 - the night he was (according to the Manhattan da's office) given a phone $2 million payout from Letterman and the night before he was arrested. In this Geico-ad parody was a dire warning ... sort of.	From: tvbarn Views: 1706 3 ratings

	Jonathan Ames on creating "Bored to Death" The creator, writer and producer of hbo's terrific new BORED TO DEATH spoke with me at TCA press tour about how his mcsweeney's short story turned into a comedy series. I've also included a short clip from BORED TO death's second episode that shows off the appealing camaraderie between stars Jason Schwartzman and Zach Galifianikis.

Port Townsend Aero Museum visit

tvbarn — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 06:56:33 +0000

	Port Townsend Aero Museum visit My father and I took a road trip earlier this month to the spiffy new Port Townsend Aero Museum. There we saw a Pietenpol Air Scout (one of just three operational Air Scouts, or so the sign claimed) and other beautifully restored aircraft, much of it operational. Also a restored Model T. Speaking of cars, Daddy took me in his MGB, which to my amazement was also mostly operational. There's video of us in his car both before and after the museum visit.	From: tvbarn Views: 138 2 ratings

Vacation video: Moclips

tvbarn — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 17:07:06 +0000

	Vacation video: Moclips We were surprised to find an affordable, clean (we are Midwesterners) and spectacularly located resort at the end of Highway 109 in coastal Washington State. The Ocean Crest has been around since the 1960s, and in some ways reflects that -- but the restaurant, sauna and pool and other amenities are up-to-date and first rate. And at less than $80 a night, the price can't be beat.	From: tvbarn Views: 56 0 ratings

	Interview with the "MythBusters" at Comic-Con 2009 Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman were a huge hit AGAIN at the big Comic-Con in San Diego. They filled an auditorium and 1000 fans had to be turned away at the door. What is it about these two mild-mannered guys who like to blow up things? We talked about that, and also their new gig as guest editors of the September issue of Popular Mechanics.	From: tvbarn Views: 1044 7 ratings

Farrah and Jacko NEVER appeared on 'Tonight' together

	Farrah and Jacko NEVER appeared on 'Tonight' together Here's a quick video of the guest search function on johnnycarson.com, the official site of the Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962-1992). I am posting it to show that contrary to the fast spreading internet "fact," Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson never appeared on "The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson." However, in an odd coincidence, Farrah appeared on two different "Tonight Shows" with the Temptations -- two decades apart!	From: tvbarn Views: 480 0 ratings

Freight House Bridge Waiting on a Train

	Freight House Bridge Waiting on a Train Mrs. TVB was late coming home on the Southwest Chief from Chicago -- what else is new -- so I went up to the Freight House Bridge overlooking the tracks to capture the comings and goings. You'll see the Western Auto sign over the three-sided building (now lofts), a freight train on the north track and the arriving Amtrak on the south track -- and, ever so briefly, the lovely Diane.

	Conan O'Brien shoots a promo Imagine doing this hundreds of times in a row and you get some idea what Conan's month has been like. Not only did he visit 30 cities during his monthlong media blitz to promote his hosting of "The Tonight Show," he taped promos for a lot of other cities. For instance, here in Kansas City he taped promos not only for the local NBC affiliate (shown here with KSHB sportscaster Jack Harry), but Des Moines and Tulsa affiliates as well.
