CBS’s Harry Smith Wears Truly Terrifying Halloween Costume
On Friday’s CBS Early Show, the day before Halloween, co-host Harry Smith got into the spirit of things with a costume that will truly give viewers nightmares for years to come.
Smith, a news anchor often known for being in touch with his feminine side, decided to dress up as the late celebrity chef Julia Child. As he described it, he was “Julia Child channeling Meryl Streep, channeling Julia Child.” The disturbing display featured Smith cracking eggs and brandishing a rubber chicken. It’s good to know that CBS is committed to maintaining the integrity and credibility of its lagging morning news program.

Rubber chicken?
October 30, 2009 - 11:30 ET by ptsonIs that a chicken with a condum? On second thought, don't need to go there.
That's the CBS...
October 30, 2009 - 11:37 ET by Abraxos... we know and love. Never better than when their top people come out of the closet – almost as good as watching them when they're drunk.
Well

LOL
October 30, 2009 - 13:12 ET by MOONSTRUCKFunny!!
Reminds me of the time Dan Aykroyd played Julia on SNL. Way back when it was funny.
Funny you should mention that
October 30, 2009 - 13:49 ET by BlondeJulia Child actually loved that bit on SNL.
I saw the movie (I'm an unabashed foodie), and although Meryl Streep is an annoying liberal, the woman has acting chops. It was a good flick.
I hope he fails, too.
B, I don't think SNL has
October 30, 2009 - 13:52 ET by Another Dead KennedyB, I don't think SNL has gotten any less funny. Face it - we just grew out of it.
SNL has been up and down, Ted.
October 30, 2009 - 14:05 ET by BlondeIt seems to go through cycles.
I was in college when it first came on, and it was hilarious. The Original Not Ready for Prime Time players were all unbelievable. John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Dan Ackroyd, Bill Murray, Jane Curtin, Gilda Radner, (RIP Gilda, still miss ya!), Garrett Morris...and of course the funnies guest host of all time Steve Martin.
Some really great comedians/actors have come out of SNL....Dennis Miller, Eddie Murphy, Dana Carvey, Annoying Copy boy (his name escapes me), Tina Fey, even that awful liberal Alex Baldwin is a hoot as the creepy Scout Leader w/camping boy.
SNL just goes through cycles, and I truly believe everything is so PC these days that the writers don't have the bite that they used to (of course the first year or two they were all stoned out of their minds on cocaine).
I hope he fails, too.
Well, you have a point on
October 30, 2009 - 14:15 ET by Another Dead KennedyWell, you have a point on the cycles. I was in college during the Dana Carvey, Chris Farley, Victoria Jackson, Sandler, [Rob Schneider] days, and I still claim those years to be the best. But I don't recall a period since with that kind of future star power. There's also the fact that after that cast moved on, I don't spend too many of my Saturday nights at home in front of my TV.
Carvey era
October 30, 2009 - 14:29 ET by BlondeDefinitely an up spike. Church lady, Hans & Franz, Sandler (that's the name I was reaching for). Wayne's World.
I still think the original cast was the best, though. There have certainly been some dry years mixed in there, too.
I haven't really made a point of watching it in a long time (watched it faithfully in college, it was the hippest thing around then....we'd walk around "Oh No, Mr. Bill")....of course Friday nights was reserved for the midnight showing of Rocky Horror. Now, if I'm up and not busy I might flip through it to see who's on, but it usually isn't good enough for me to watch very long.
I hope he fails, too.
Are you talking about
October 30, 2009 - 14:36 ET by Another Dead KennedyAre you talking about Richmeister, the copy guy? That was Rob Schneider (think puny, little guy).
Also, and since I didn't watch during the early years, were there musical acts in those days? In the early 90s when the singer of Faith No More started climbing up the giant fan on the band stage, and tried spinning the locked blades - classic! Some of the musical performances are just as memorable as the comedy.
Oh yeah...big time musical guests, always
October 30, 2009 - 14:44 ET by BlondeCheck it out. SNL started as something else for two years, but this is from the 78-79 Seasons.
As big as they get, Stones, Dead....etc. I just picked a season at random, too, Ted. So you can see why we were glued each week.
And your right about the copy boy....but I knew it was that same skit was the name of the guy I was trying to think of, Adam Sandler. I hit the Wiki site, wow, they have had some amazing people there.
I hope he fails, too.
Well Jumpin' Jesus on a Pogo
October 30, 2009 - 14:50 ET by Another Dead KennedyWell Jumpin' Jesus on a Pogo Stick! Wikipedia finally comes through with something useful. Great link, great bands. They always cut the musical acts out on the reruns. My favorite era, music-wise, still has to be '93-'96ish. I'm gonna go buy some iTunes now.
Glad to be of help
October 30, 2009 - 15:02 ET by BlondeWiki is pretty useful when you're looking up popular culture type references. I prefer it to IMDB for movie info, too.
And truly, I just hit the first year that appealed to me....but the musical acts were great.
And while we're talking SNL, CE Smith was the musical director for many years, and he was great.
I hope he fails, too.
As someone with credits on
October 30, 2009 - 15:32 ET by Another Dead KennedyAs someone with credits on IMDB, I can assure you that much of the information on the site is in fact wrong.
For most movies
October 30, 2009 - 16:07 ET by BlondeWiki has a better plot description, but I do like the "goof ups" on IMDB....continuity errors, I think is the term you'd use.
I hope he fails, too.
Have you found the section
October 30, 2009 - 16:18 ET by Another Dead KennedyHave you found the section where they give you addresses of film and tv locations? Like you can find the house from Halloween, Brady Bunch, or whatever else interests you. Should you ever be in the LA area, of course.
No, kindly link, Ted
October 30, 2009 - 16:29 ET by BlondeOne of my mom's friends owned the house that was used as the Governor's mansion on Benson. And it's been used for many other movies, television shows, etc.
The pictures of the "real" house are even more incredible than what you see on film, too.
I went to LA years ago to visit a pal, I didn't care for it very much. She had a house in San Diego, which was a much prettier place, IMO.
I hope he fails, too.
Speaking from experience, LA
October 30, 2009 - 16:34 ET by Another Dead KennedySpeaking from experience, LA is a dump for the most part. The beach towns and mountains are beautiful though, except of course Venice - another dump. San Diego is where I plan to retire. Gorgeous city, and much friendlier people, less plastic...you know what I'm saying.
What you have to do is search a movie or TV show, and then click the "filming locations" link on the lower left side. Here're the results for Halloween:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077651/locations
Thanks, Ted
October 30, 2009 - 16:42 ET by BlondeHere's what the site said about my mom's friend Mary Beth's house:
The exterior shot used used for the governor's mansion was a private mansion in Pasadena, California. It is the Bundy House, located at 1365 South Oakland in Pasadena. It was designed by T. Beverley Keim in 1913. The original interior of the house is entirely intact, including a fabulous domed art glass window overlooking the grand entrance.
I hope he fails, too.
I'm going to have to take
October 30, 2009 - 16:48 ET by Another Dead KennedyI'm going to have to take back what I said in an earlier post several weeks back: Los Angeles DOES have history!
It's a pretty cool feature for the site. And now next time I'm in Pasadena, I'm stopping by the mansion.
Let me know when you do, Ted
October 30, 2009 - 17:01 ET by BlondeAnd take lots of pics to send me.
As I said, it was even prettier as a "real" house (and mom's friends lived there)....sadly, they passed away about ten years ago. I think they were WWII pals.
Thanks again for letting me know about the IMDB feature, I see buildings/scense often that I want to know more about. Great tip, Ted.
I hope he fails, too.
You're very welcome. And
October 30, 2009 - 17:12 ET by Another Dead KennedyYou're very welcome. And enjoy it. We all need more ways to waste time online. ; ) I'll be sure to get you some shots of the mansion when I ever make it there.
I tried that Ted
October 30, 2009 - 17:19 ET by RukusWith Close Encounters. I clicked on the locations and it listed Mobile, AL. Not sure what that was all about, but the scene with the mom and little kid was filmed at a house in Fairhope, AL. They also listed Bay Minnette, AL. I actually drove by the house during filming one day and passed by Richard Dreyfuss standing next to a truck eating a hot dog! LOL! : )

October 30, 2009 - 17:27 ET by Another Dead KennedyWell, like I said earlier, a lot of the information on IMDB is incorrect (probably so they can get you to PAY for a "pro" membership). But the location information, when true, really is pretty cool. I used to live near the Brady Bunch house in Studio City, and even though it really doesn't look like it did in the 70s, it's still pretty cool. The Close Encounters house would have been much cooler!
Oops!
October 30, 2009 - 17:47 ET by RukusI didn't mean to imply IMDB, it was Wiki! Sorry 'bout dat!

October 30, 2009 - 14:52 ET by Another Dead KennedyThat was the one name I couldn't remember. But yes, he was there, and most of that era wouldn't have been as successful without him.

Funny---
October 30, 2009 - 23:50 ET by matthewdeanBlonde:
My first reply/response to a post by you contains a question, which requires I render obeisance, so as not to be thought a wise guy.
Consider it done.
The question---
Could the words, or phrase, "annoying liberal", be considered redundant?

Julia Child was an exceptional American
October 31, 2009 - 08:55 ET by R D HelmDuring WW II, Julia went to work as a spy for the OSS, the predecessor to the CIA. One of her assignments, among many, was to develop a shark repellent. No joke.
The U.S.Navy was concerned because sharks kept bumping into, thus detonating, sea mines that were intended for German U-boats.
I am guessing there might be a U-boat wreck or two resting on the ocean floor thanks to her efforts.
As for Harry, he isn't fit to have washed Julia's cookware.

I heard that...
October 31, 2009 - 11:18 ET by taocpaI did hear that Julia Child did work for the OSS. Good for her.
That was a scary video of Harry, no question.
Speaking of SNL, does anyone remember who else got their start on the show? Paul Shaffer was the original music director. He also did an imitation of Don Kirshner introducing the Rolling Stones (for those old enough to remember the 1970's tv series "Don Kirshner's Rock Concert"). It was hysterical.
The original cast was the best, but subsequent casts named above had some great comedians as mentioned. Today's group I can live without.
Two more great scenes I used to enjoy: Laraine Newman reporting on "Weekend Update" from the "Blaine Hotel" on a murder and then Don Pardo telling us later that "Guests of NBC Saturday Night stay at the fabulous Blaine Hotel in
midtown Manhatten. The Blaine, a tradition for more than half a century." Of course there was no "Blaine Hotel".
The other was also on Weekend Update with Chevy Chase doing the final story interpreted for the deaf. Garrett Morris was the "President of the New York School for the Hard of Hearing" and just shouted the main headlines as Chevy Chase read the top story.
Great stuff.
When will the madness end? Hopefully, January 20, 2013.

At least, Julia child
October 31, 2009 - 17:24 ET by Antisocial-ismAt least, Julia child offered up something that you could swallow.
