Tonight is the final episode of Pub Politics, and I plan to make an appearance of some sort, making me the first and last NINE-timer in the show’s history.
I don’t know what role I’ll play. I just wrote to Wesley and said “The final episode, and I’m not making a guest appearance? How can that be?”
To which he replied, “yes, you are. come on.”
So I plan to be there, and discover what my role is after my arrival. No doubt it will be key.
Speaking of Wesley, scuttlebutt has it that his various enterprises have occupied him to where he is no longer interested in keeping the show going. I think of it this way — remember how “The Andy Griffith Show” kind of wound down? First Barney left, and then Andy just kind of seemed to lose interest in his role? To start with, he was the comedic force, and then gradually he became the straight man to other characters, and eventually he even seemed to lose his accent?
It’s like that. Sort of. Wesley quit hosting the show regularly sometime back and became a force behind the scenes, like Merv Griffin, if you can stand another showbiz analogy. Or Lucille Ball, with Desilu. Did you know that “Star Trek” came into being because Lucy believed in Gene Roddenberry? It’s true.
But I digress. Anyway, tonight’s the last show, and all three regular hosts — Wesley, Phil Bailey and Joel Sawyer — will be there, and new SCGOP Chairman Matt Moore will be a guest.
