-The- Hot seat with the Blue Late Special Talk Show Host, Jeff Brown How long have you been performing at the Comedy Parlor? I’ve been yelling unintelligible nonsense at whomever passes by on Elgin or 1st Street. Does that count? It does? In that case, upwards of 3 years. What’s your take on Miley Cyrus? I don’t know that I can talk regarding an ongoing lawsuit, but Miley knows whose inebriated moves she appropriated for the VMAs, and my attorneys and I are expecting recompense shortly. How do you practice hosting a talk show? I wake up every morning, look right into the mirror, and ask a few probing questions of myself, such as, “Who the hell do you think you are?”, “Why do you keep doing this to yourself?”, and “You’re kidding me, right?” The only real interview experience I have is with my dogs, usually regarding, “Who’s a good girl?”, and the insightful follow-up, “Is it you?” What can we expect from the Late Night Talk Show? 1) A strong dose of handsome from myself. 2) Great guests, overflowing buckets of chuckle, and more than a few awkward pauses. 3) A little more bite and a little less bark, A little less fight and a little more spark 4) What the American Psychiatric Association’s DSM-5 defines as “vivid, manipulative, and substantial auditory and visual hallucinations.” What is your favorite Thanksgiving dish? I tend to KFC-Famous-Bowl-it and lump everything together. Pumpkin pie included. Do you have any fond Thanksgiving memories? If 10 year old Jeff drops a two liter of root beer on its cap at juuuust the right angle, it will hit the ceiling, maybe a great aunt on the rebound. Pick or comb? No man yet has constructed a tool capable of taming my savage locks. You’re welcome to try. . . TULSA PROPER 7
