Spike Feresten: One Hour, Tomorrow Night
In all the hub-bub - didn't I just use that line? - I almost forgot to tell you about another new show coming up tomorrow: "Talkshow with Spike Feresten," which goes to an hour at 11, now that "MadTV" has been sent to the glue factory.
Spike? You've never watched his show? Tomorrow night is the time, then, or at least Hulu it on Sunday morning.
Here's why: He's gonna call out Jeremy Piven on the show, and tell the world - or at least his few select viewers - that he thinks the whole business with mercury poisoning was..."bull----."
We talked a couple days ago, and here's what he said (and for some viral "Spike," go to that clip below of the lovely lady trying to figure out her digital conversion techniques; it's been an Internet hit...)
"I'm a big 'Entourage' fan and I enjoy Jeremy Piven on the show, but this has rubbed me the wrong way. I feel it's total bull---- and it appears that David Mamet believes that too...[Piven's] lying and my personal opinion is, he went out on stage [for 'Speed the Plow"] and saw a sea of gray-haired ladies in their sixties and thought, 'I'm not gonna get [any sex] here.'"
Of the mercury business, he says, "I have an opinion about that too. In Hollywood, if you have a problem, or don't want to be somewhere...you usually say, 'I've got food poisoning.' Or, 'I can't come to your party, I've got food poisoning.' I've used it myself. That'll get you out of one night, but it won't get you out of a Broadway show, so you've got to up [the ante.]"
That's to mercury poisoning.
By the way, I think Spike's kidding. I'm not sure though. In any event, he did ask Jeremy to come on tomorrow's show. So far, no answer.
And what of his star, 97-year-old Mae Laborde, who got into show business only a few years ago? Says Spike, "I find her a real inspiration to anyone who says, 'I don't know what to do with my life' and they're only 35. She started a new job in one of the toughest careers there is - at age 90."
Watch tomorrow night (or Hulu on Sunday). Spike is a funny guy and so is his show.
