Hollywood Types
I had a little run in with one of the regulars from the KFE chatroom who didn't think the Leon blooper was funny. The chatter, who goes by the nickname "Jane," is none other than Jane Curtin, an original cast member of Saturday Night Live and co-star of the TV series, Kate & Allie as well as 3rd Rock from the Sun. These days, she apparently has nothing better to do with her time than to hang out in chatrooms with computer geeks one third of her age.
Yesterday, I put a link to the blooper in the chatroom's topic. Here's an excerpt from an exchange that Jane Curtin and I had soon after she signed on this afternoon:
Jane had more to say, but on this site, I get the last word.

| <Bernie_M> | Hi Jane |
| <Jane> | Hi Bernie_M |
| <Bernie_M> | Jane, check out the link in the topic. |
| <Jane> | 1 sec, I'm not done yelling at my agent. |
| A few minutes later... | |
| <Jane> | I'm back. Bernie_M what about the link in topic? |
| <Bernie_M> | Jane: You hear it? |
| <Jane> | yeah, so? |
| <Bernie_M> | Humor is lost on you |
| <Jane> | it's not funny |
| <Bernie_M> | Like I said, humor is lost on you |
| <Jane> | of the two of us, I believe I was the only paid, working, comedian :) |
| <DeadRoxanne> | that makes leon sound like a jerk |
| <scooby-doo> | you're a comedian jane? |
| <Jane> | wait, so it's Leon's fault they gave him a difficult if not impossible task? |
| <Bernie_M> | Jane: Odd. I never heard you say or do anything funny. |
| <Jane> | scooby-doo, yes, and an actress. I used to be on SNL and a couple of successful TV shows. |
| <Jane> | same to you Bernie_M. |
| <Jane> | good times :) |
| <Bernie_M> | But I don't profess to be a comedian |
| <scooby-doo> | SNL? |
| <Jane> | saturday night live |
| <scooby-doo> | never heard of it |
| <Jane> | It's been on for over 30 years, scooby-doo. It's STILL ON! |
| <Bernie_M> | Jane: caps. |
| <Jane> | CAP THIS |
| <scooby-doo> | jane, what night is it on? |
| <Jane> | saturday. duh. |
| <scooby-doo> | I see Jenn |
| <scooby-doo> | got any videos of your act? |
| <Jane> | Yes, scooby-doo, you can get them in just about any video store. |
| <scooby-doo> | ... |
| <Jane> | I did a voice in the movie Antz for christ's sake! |
| <Bernie_M> | Cool |
| <scooby-doo> | cool |
| <DeadRoxanne> | cool |
| <Bernie_M> | All I can say is KFE screwed up big time |
| <Jane> | exactly, which isn't exactly side-splitting humour. |
| <Bernie_M> | Humor is lost on you |
Jane had more to say, but on this site, I get the last word.
