HEY YOU GUYS!

Start with this . . .

Plus . . .

This . . .

And . . .

This . . .

But this is just incredible:

Words.

(Just in case you’re wondering, yes, that last one has Morgan Freeman as Easy Reader. The woman is Hattie Winston, who wound up playing Ted Danson’s nurse on Becker. And yes, that song has the absolute groove of death.)

  4. I’m gonna guess that yer employer blocks access to Y**T*be. It’s working fine for me. Anybody else having problems?

  5. Yes, but it’s just blocked access.

  6. No, I can see Y**t*** fine. Maybe it’s a Lutheran-to-Methodist translation thing?

  7. Must be. I suggest you start drinking coffee until the urge to sing hymns in German overtakes you.

  8. The local PBS station ran a great “Electric Company” retrospective this weekend during heavy pledge-drive time.
    And though for many, it would simply seem like he was going against type what with “Seven” and the Alex Cross films, Morgan Freeman is still at the top of my list of celebs who have never hosted “SNL” but whose time is long overdue.
    But alas, if that happened, Justin Timberlake or Christina Aguilera might lose a hosting gig …

  9. It would really be interesting if Morgan Freeman hosted SNL. I have to imagine he’s been approached and said “no.”

    Freeman doesn’t seem to think much of his time on The Electric Company. He’s been quoted as saying that he thought he stayed on the show a couple years too long, but the paychecks were too good to walk away from. It’s a shame he feels that way, though I understand why. Still, not only has he had a great movie career, he helped millions of kids learn to read and enjoy reading. That’s nothing to feel bad about.
