Transcript

What BBN said on air. Comedy, with fictional anchors.

  1. Gloria VanceMy guest tonight has played a sidekick, a ghost, and a talking lasagna. Thaddeus Wrenfield, welcome to the program.

  2. Thaddeus WrenfieldGloria, a pleasure. As I was just reminded, you once got thrown out of an embassy. I admire that.

  3. Gloria VanceSeveral embassies. Let's turn to the news. Variety reports that thirty Rock cast members reunited for the twentieth anniversary.

  4. Gloria VanceTina Fey and Tracy Morgan tried to remember their lines, and Alec Baldwin riffed as Jack Donaghy. Your reaction?

  5. Thaddeus WrenfieldForgetting lines is amateur. I have never forgotten one. As I was just reminded, I have a mind like a vault.

  6. Gloria VanceYou looked down just now.

  7. Thaddeus WrenfieldHumility. I was bowing to the craft.

  8. Gloria VanceTell us about your new project.

  9. Thaddeus WrenfieldIt's called Lasagna Lives Twice, a limited series. As I was just reminded, I play the lasagna, and also his lawyer.

  10. Gloria VanceThe lasagna has a lawyer.

  11. Thaddeus WrenfieldEveryone does, Gloria. Even the llama at the resort in Peru.

  12. Gloria VanceInteresting choice. Now, the hard question: is that card on your lap a script?

  13. Thaddeus WrenfieldThis? It's a prop. As I was just reminded, props build trust. It also has my lunch order.

  14. Gloria VanceIt's the size of a pizza box, Thaddeus.

  15. Thaddeus WrenfieldFine. I have never memorized a line. I read my own wedding vows off a koozie.

  16. Gloria VanceA koozie.

  17. Thaddeus WrenfieldMy wife thought it was romantic. It was a beer holder from a Chili's.

  18. Gloria VanceLightning round. Favorite sitcom of all time?

  19. Thaddeus WrenfieldAs I was just reminded, the one I'm on. Next.

  20. Gloria VanceLast thing you actually memorized?

  21. Thaddeus WrenfieldThe Wi-Fi password at this mansion. It's a hundred and twelve characters. I'm kidding, it's taped to the lamp.

  22. Gloria VanceFinal plug, then. And please say your own name without looking down.
