Friday, February 17th

Still plugging away on our 1,000th show. The 3 shows counting down the Top 100 moments in Best Damn History will air February 27th-March 1st with the final 20 moments on March 1st's show. We've got a star-studded guest-list lined up including the return of Tom Arnold. We're also putting the finishing touches on next week's poker shows. Without getting into too much detail, let's just say there's a big difference in gambling websites that end in .net and those that end in .com. Without further ado, we turn it over to one of our segment producers, Matt, who tells us how he got through a rainy day in L.A.

Where is John Salley?

It rained here in Los Angeles today. The 405 freeway feels like the parking lot at a Whitesnake reunion tour...JAM PACKED!

I made a quick drive-by at the FOX studio store and came across an auction for a classy $1500 Barney's suit worn only once in a photo shoot by 61 year-old Jeffrey Tambor; aka George Bluth Sr. of the possibly defunct, yet classic show "Arrested Development." The starting bid was $250; already taken by a man that I will refer to as "Guy who didn't win Jeffrey Tambor's $1500 Barney's Suit at the studio store auction." Let me tell you folks, this is one classy suit. I finagled my way into the back of the store to try it on for size. Fit like a glove. It was 2:15pm on the Swatch watch and the auction closed at 3:00. I bid a cool $270 and hid the auction sheet behind a pile of "Skin" Season 1 DVDs. I was sure nobody would look there. Long story short, I'm picking up Tambor's suit Tuesday morning. Scoreboard "Guy who didn't win Jeffrey Tambor's $1500 Barney's Suit at the studio store auction"

I feel like Costanza driving around in Jon Voight's car, but in all actuality I really am driving around in JON VOIGHT'S CAR!

I'd now like to take a short break and give a shout out to my fellow Best Damn blogger Charlie (a man that oversees million dollar shows & drives a luxury automobile). He has literally brought the pain on our first 2 blogs. Tough act to follow. I feel like Hagar succeeding Lee Roth.

"Right Now" vs. "Jump" - Give me "Right Now" in a photo finish by a nose

Happy Holiday Weekend ... FACT: Millard Fillmore, the 13th President, was the first President to have a stepmother.

Final thought... Club Sandwich + Guava Juice at the FOX commissary = crazy delicious

Thanks, Matt. Next week, our blog will be filled with memories from our production crew about the first 1,000 episodes. All behind-the-scenes stuff that was NOT on TV and you won't want to miss.
