Lettermand mentions Donna McKechnie
« on: May 22, 2009, 04:41:27 AM »
Tonight's Late Night with David Letterman's show
Letterman used Donna McKechnie's name in a joke about Larry King Jr.
It got a big laugh

Speaking of DS alums as joke material, Kate Jackson made it into this week's The Soup.  Once you see it, you'll understand why it's the [k/a] Clip of the Week.

My guess, without seeing "The Soup", is that maybe it's in reference to "Farrah's Story", and that Kate Jackson was in Charlie's Angels with Farrah, and also a breast cancer survivor?

am I close?

I'm curious to know why letterman would bring up Donna McKechnie. But this is the guy who spouts things like, "And on the back of the CD, you can see Linda Ronstadt's house! I'm in love with my cowboy hat!" No lie, that's a direct quote.

The Kate Jackson clip is from the interview that's linked to the topic on Farrah, though the part lampooned by Joel McHale isn't there.  Anyway, she deflected a question about her opinion of Craig Nevius' lawsuit by running a joke into the ground while the doc sat frozen; it's hysterically weird.  The show will repeat again tonite, tomorrow morning, and probably throughout the week.  The CotW segment runs last.

I had to stop after the "devious" part. I'm sorry. It was hurting me how dumb she sounded.

   I am not a particular KJ fan but I do think she was doing this on purpose. Mixing the person's last name with an adjective that indicates he is deceitful, underhanded, scheming, or conniving.  But this is just my opinion.

That was my take, too, LdyAnne. I thought she was a riot and good for her!

The Soup acknowledged that she did it on purpose.  (It sounds like she's hesitant to answer the question directly for fear of a slander suit, but found a way to say what she thinks about him anyway without getting herself in legal hot water, and d'oh Meredith for not picking up on it.)  What they made fun of, which got emphasized by editing, was that her pun got less funny each time she said it.
