Bob Denver

And Jim Backus, hilarious.

Of course, Bob Denver, you know.

Yeah.

And, you know, coming off of Major G. Krebs in Dobie Gillis and everything.

His name is, his real name is Rob Denver and he lives in Denver.

The, not part of Bob's family?

No, not related to Bob.

Not re- no

Or John, John Denver?

Not John, no.

But who's Bob Denver?

I don't know.

John Denver.

[horn blaring] Not Bob Denver, who played, uh-

Gilligan

...

Well, and even before we knew all that or before anybody knew all that, like, Gilligan's Island guys, Star Trek probably same thing, like, did their show, and then the show goes into reruns and none of those people get any money.

You know, Bob Denver is, like, poor, you know, dies poor or whatever.

Mm-hmm.

Um, I think you guys were talking about recently, yeah, you were on your Nightmare USA, you were talking about, uh, uh, Donna, um, talking about Mary Ann in, uh-

And the rest was the Professor and Mary Ann.

And that Bob Denver was upset that they were le- 'cause they had added them at the last minute, I think the Professor and somebody else.

So he demanded that they change the song and include all the names.

Oh, very good.

Yeah.

So that was Bob Denver being magnanimous to the rest.

I remember that song, "And the rest." Weird that you would sing-

See, I don't.

I mean, we're having a ball with The Love Boat, don't get me wrong.

But I mean, that's the great thing about, "Ah, look, it's Bob Denver.

Ah, Mr. Denver always wanted to be an international jewel thief."

[laughs]

So it's, it doesn't have the same...

When Bob Denver...

Wait, Bob D- was it Bob Denver? Yeah.

When Bob Denver came on a show, you'd be like, "Gilligan." It was, it was Gilligan right away.

And, and I don't know that, I don't know that modern audiences would have that same kind of relationship with any kind of guest star anymore.

Yeah.
