- Well... They are often high points of those particular shows,
- if there are no great guests or good "half time" segments.

- I'm not tired of her...!

-
- But Meg is a lot better than just the usual "guy off the street" they find.
- The other *major* difference is that you can SEE Meg, unlike most of the
- people Dave has called. That's a pretty important difference...
-
- >Is everyone crazy about Meg because of her personality (what there is of it)
- >Now Arnie Barnes -- THAT guy was funny!
-
- Speaking of which, Meg has a GREAT personality, A.B. had *NO* personality!!
- None whatsoever as far as I remember. :-> He basically just said "yea..."
- most of the time. I got pretty tired of him very quickly.
-

-
- DAVE is always funny, but at least with Meg he has something a little
- closer to an "intellectual equal". Someone that he can actually TALK to.
-
- >But the stuff that was funny with him came from his situation and
- >what Dave did with it.
- Exactly. 100%.
-
- >I prefer that kind of call. Same with James the Drifter.
-
- Dave makes it funny, but neither of those two were even close to being
- as articulate as Dave's Dumb Guy! JtD was especially vacuous. On video
- it was kind of amusing, but over the phone it really died fast. They are
- not nearly as interesting, or have the "staying power" of Meg (plus they
- ain't fabulous babes!) 'nuff said. :->
