From what he said, Charlie likes being a dad and doing fatherly things, like trick or treating. That's always fun. Unless your kid doesn't have a good costume or you have to walk really steep hills in the dark. Yuck!

There was conversation about gambling. Charlie said he's not a gambler. "Show business is enough of a gamble." Well, I'd agree with you to a point. About gambling, that is. Don't know nothing 'bout no show business. Not me. But anyway, gambling...I'll never forget the first time I got my hands on a slot machine. I played for hours and hours. My mom had to bring me dinner. I wouldn't leave the machine. Nobody else was going to touch it. I was on a winning streak. Jackpot after jackpot. Mine. All mine. Kind of. We had to put all the nickels back in the machine so I could get my payouts. You don't care when you're five, though. Yes, I was only five. The slot machine was in our basement. That's what happens when your parents collect antiques.

The most important, and best part of the interview, was that Charlie thinks you're fabulous. Awww! See? I told you! You should learn to trust the voice of occasional reason.

After the break: Matt the intern who looks like Ben Affleck. Nah, he's better looking than Ben. Looks like he actually has something going on upstairs. Now you're looking for an intern who looks like Matt Damon. Hmm. Let me say this, NO. Just no. And that's all I have to say about that.

Second guests: Franz Ferdinand - again - singing "The Fallen". It wasn't bad, but hardly memorable, at least for me. I do like them. My mind was somewhere else entirely. Chalk it up to a very long day and the Sandman being at my door.

Final guest: Best known for her work in Hairspray and now works on Stacked, Marissa Jaret Winokur. What a fun, effervescent guest! She got you to say that you were vulnerable but masculine. And she said, "Let's hear more about Craig's butt!" Once again, I don't even have to go there. Plenty of people around to do that for me.

Marissa talked about sharing dressing rooms on Broadway - it stinks. She's not into the Hollywood scene. She doesn't do the big parties, mostly because she's renovating a house and is busy planning her wedding. She wants a small wedding. I like that she doesn't think spending $100,000 on fish and steak for friends is worth it. Hey, when I got married, we spent $3,000 - 5,000 and had a great day. Of course, my marriage didn't last, so what do I know?
