A Fan



The "warm-up" guy (a real hard worker) is
Good enough to have his own "talk show," but
The man we came to see and hear is
(In my honest opinion) far better than
Most of the so-called "greats" of both
"Big and small screen."
Like my hero, "Bond. ..." on the "big screen,"
He is equally as charming, but I dare say--
A lot quicker "on the draw" with his
Uncanny ability to "disarm and disengage"
His guests...only to "be there" for and with them
When they need it the most, the manner of which is
Quite something to see-- "live" on the set.
Far better than all of 'em (in terms of quality
And content), nightly, he delivers the longest and best
Monologue...and every bit is topical and current.
