Wow, look at all these skippers and skimmers.

In short, it's a British quiz (game) show hosted by Stephen Fry. Contestants are given points for interesting answers, regardless of whether they're true, and penalized for obvious answers. Some are available on YouTube.
Stephen Fry just said "Kneel before Zod." And compared Terrence Stamp to yaks.
That's so cool.
He's just so much awesome.
I'm pretty sure I read recently that Ferguson improvises his opening monologue.
I bet he knows what he was going to talk about before he got up there. He might not know how, and he might riff deviate from his intentions, but if he knows what a long time before, it's not like the improvisers I had to slap around--they were operating on information they'd just received.
And if he does go up there blank, then
that's
bravery, but he'd still be up for slapping around.
John Dillinger escaped from prison by carving a gun out of a potato.

He was eventually shot in front of a movie theater in Chicago. There's a display there now.
Woody Allen based the soap gag in "Take the Money and Run" on the Dillinger story. (So Stephen Fry tells me.)
One more thing. I go red in the face and start to get homocidally lightheaded when someone calls and asks for a name of someone who does not work here (we only have 5 or 6 people so it's not like they would be in another department), and then when I inform the caller that we don't have, say, a Jane here, they reply, "No you do! She's in management or something." @@@@@@@@@@@@ (forever)

Myrna Loy always felt bad that he got shot going to one of her movies. He was a big fan of hers.
all I really want to do is blurt out what I need and have you do it!
And we would be singing your praises. Seriously, we'd be all "One time...this lady called...and she just asked for what she needed."
I'd send you flowers. Or strippers. Or money.
