Le Show

I want to introduce a new narrative frame that was going through my head the whole time, which is Harry Shearer had a radio show that my father loved.

And so I would listen to it sometimes called Le Show.

And it was like a sketch comedy.

And there was a running sketch in it where Nixon, with all of his guys, you know, like all of Nixon's people, Haldeman and all those people, are in hell planning his comeback.

Yeah.

You ever listen to Le Show? Nope.

I think that's smart.

Harry Shearer.
