Yeah, I watched my recording of the 10th anniv. special last night. Hokey is definitely the word for it. I have a feeling it would have seemed less cheesy if you were actually at the live taping.
And glow-in-the-dark frosting on pancakes? Ohhhh....gross ;p
It reminded me, actually, of the live PeeWee Herman stage shows. I don't know if you've ever seen tapes of those--but a lot of the same strange goings-on.
The Original Pewee's Playhouse--the one he did before the show--is still one of the funniest things I've seen. From what I understand, what they showed on Food Channel was only a third of what happened at the live show, which was a lot more enjoyable. I did enjoy the interview parts, (and incidentally, what's up with all the Ted Allen dissing?) And the fire extinquisher smoothies, well, that was pure Alton.
BTW, D, I meant to say I get the same vibe from Craig Ferguson that I got from Alton. Never met Craig, but I was watching some of his interview on Larry King last night, and it seemed he has that same, "Yeah, I know people want to hear stuff about me, but what's the big deal.." Did you see his show last week, when he and the puppets were lip-syncing to that Hanson song? It was the first time I'd laughed so hard in weeks! Craig is just full of win. :)
Yeah, and it's one of the things that's keeping me sane right now. I got beaucoup birthday ducats, and I'm off to spend some of them at Target on some of his DVD's!
