1. Wilkerson and Schultz--that's interesting...Hopefully the RETHUG will keep her ranting to a minimum

[malaise]

4. They will eat her alive

Should be fun

[ellenfl]

7. del percio's not bad. could be an interesting show. i'm wondering about hall's relevance. eom

[Tx4obama]

2. Ed and Arsenio are the only two on that list that I've ever heard of.

Btw, does anyone know if Maher announced the winner of the "Stupidest State Award" yet?

The last time I saw anything about it he was telling everyone to go to the website and vote, but that was several weeks ago.

[malaise]

5. Dom't miss Wilkerson

He'd going to eat the ReTHUG oveer Bin Laden - he will never forgive BUsh and Cheney- worked with Powell and is very critical of the neo-cons.

6. In a dramatic come-from-behind win, it's Arizona!

The competition this year was fierce indeed, but in the end Jan Brewer and the deaftones beat them all out.

11. Thanks for the info :) n/t

9. Arizona

I think it was last week?

[MrSlayer]

3. It's like a time warp back to suckville.

Arsenio and Bobcat? Really? It can't possibly be that difficult for Bill to book proper guests.

Big Ed is cool though.

8. Bobcat is a pretty good director nowadays

He did a movie a couple years ago called 'World's Greatest Dad' starring Robin Williams. It's a really good dark comedy. He's probably on to talk about his new controversial movie coming out about a killing spree with middle-age guy and a young girl.

Arsenio is currently on Celebrity Apprentice, so I have no idea why he'd be on.

[MrMickeysMom]

10. Would that movie be stranger than Natural Born Killers?

That had a lot of dark comedy...

[Tx4obama]

14. The new film is titled: ''God Bless America'', see link below

Film info here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1912398/

[MrMickeysMom]

17. Wow...

No, that's a little different...

[Tx4obama]

12. Arsenio talked about Rodney King and the riots, because of the 20 year anniversary. n/t

[Son of Gob]

16. Yeah, I just saw him on the repeat

He was really good, I hope he comes back on the panel someday.

[romantico]

13. Arsenio

Arsenio and Bobcat and Bill all go way back. Bill is still close friends to comedians he met back in the 80's. I really admire Bill's loyalty. I remember back when Arsenio was on top watching Aresnio have this local stand up comedian on his show named Bill Maher. Arsenio was big at the time and had a top rated late night TV show. Now, Bill is the one who has the high rated late night TV show. I've always liked Arsenio and felt he was funnier and more talented than Eddie Murphy. I remember Arsenio doing his show around the time of the LA Riots. I was in my late teens but watching him tonight look back really was interesting, IMO.

[applegrove]

15. Yes. They were both great guests. Good show. I especially like the New Rules.
