Jay Thomas

Mm-hmm

... uh, tur- as it turns out, uh, I didn't know this, but, um, I was lucky enough to get to know Jay Thomas-

Mm, okay

... a little bit before he-

Yeah, when I saw him, I was like, oh, man, I'm surprised they didn't cover this because he was only in it for a minute, so why would I watch this movie?

And then Jay Thomas is in it.

He plays the TV talk show host guy.

Spaulding Gray?

It was nice seeing Teresa out at Big Iron from Red Wing.

She was on with Jay Thomas talking work boots.

They have those new boots now.

Oh,

And the guy's like this like hard ball, like I want to be mean to everyone, especially women.

Character actor Jay Thomas as the host of the show.

Yeah.

And there's this other stuffy doctor who went to Harvard and blah, blah, blah.

I'm done bailing you out.

Call Jay Thomas.

He'll

help you.

That'll be $100.

Yeah, I'm a celebrity.

Don't you know who I am? Don't you know who the heck I am? I'm Jay Thomas.

Just tell

I will be set up.

I'll be broadcasting live on the Jay Thomas Show.

You can fill out the registration form, put it in the box.

We'll pick several more qualifiers today.

And if you have not been to Cruise Night, I, I highly encourage you to check it out.

Yeah.

We got a little sample, uh, yesterday because Jay Thomas had, uh, launched his new episode of Rides-

Mm-hmm

Yeah.

Yeah, I remember Jay telling me that the most phone calls they ever had for a show, the Jay Thomas show, was one of the episodes him and I did in the afternoon on like Comedy Stars Channel, whatever that was.

And it opened with Jay going on a rant about how the bass guitar, the bass player in a band is completely unnecessary.

And he's like... there's no song that you could he's his argument was basically like you could take a bass out of any song and the song's still good and like it was just the craziest argument and i mean those phone lines were jammed for three and a half hours straight

Yeah, I know, yeah.

Jay Thomas as Eddie LeBec.

Do you know John Cleese did a one-off appearance on-

Cheers

was that I think TJ had a gig at the Wicked Tickle so he could pay rent to his father who he was living with.

We did a production of the show where actually Jay Thomas of Tears fame played the father because he's actually J.T. Harding's actual biological father.

A lot of the development, though, like how it actually started going was we just started realizing, I'm saying we, I didn't write it, but I was there.

Peter just started seeing a lot of the story in the songs.
