4. in our “WHATEVER HAPPENED TO” segment, we wonder what happened to actor BILL DAILY, who played on numerous top tv shows….he was a great “second banana” and a great set up person for the jokes….remember him? he starred with LARRY HAGMAN on “I DREAM OF JEANNIE.”
he also played BOB NEWHART’S crazy neighbor on “THE BOB NEWHART SHOW.” he’s in the upper left corner….
in the past few years, BILL DAILY was a co-host on a radio show for a couple of years, and has been touring the country with jeanniebottles.com, promoting the 45th anniversary of “I DREAM OF JEANNIE.” here is BILL DAILY in recent years….and by the way, he is 83 years old now……

10. DENNY’S restraunt is offering a new menu of items with “BACON.” this is seriously true….it includes an ice cream sundae with MAPLE SYRUP AND BACON…it’s for people who want to have a heart attack, but don’t want to have to wait around for it.
11. AMC said that their hit tv show ‘MAD MEN’ will return early in 2012…..until then you’ll have to get your MAD MEN fix by watching CHARLIE SHEEN and LIBYA’S GADDAFFI…

13. BARRY BOND’S former mistress testified that steroids caused physical problems for BONDS…apparently he was hitting home runs on the field but striking out in the bedroom…
14. JOKE OF THE DAY:
A blonde had just totaled her car in a horrific accident. Miraculously, she managed to pry herself from the wreckage without a scratch and was applying fresh lipstick when the state trooper arrived. “My God!” the trooper gasped. “Your car looks like an accordion that was stomped on by an elephant. Are you OK ma’am?”
“Yes officer, I’m just fine!” the blonde chirped. “Well, how in the world did this happen?” the officer asked as he surveyed the wrecked car.
“Officer, it was the strangest thing!” the blonde began. “I was driving along this road when from out of nowhere this TREE pops up in front of me. So I swerved to the right, and there was another tree! I swerved to the left and there was ANOTHER tree! I swerved to the right and there was another tree! I swerved to the left and there was ………” “Uh, ma’am”, the officer said, cutting her off. “There isn’t a tree on this road for 30 miles. That was your air freshener swinging back and forth”.
HAVE A GREAT THURSDAY EVERYBODY…
