I was driving in to work this morning listening to one of the final Stern shows. Don't know if you listen to Howard or not, I can usually take about 15 or 20 minutes of him before it gets old, but this morning his comedy writer Artie Lang was telling them about the time this girl in a bar thought he was Andy Richter (Conan O'Brien's former sidekick), and that he didn't correct her because she "LOVED" Andy Richter and he wanted to continue making out with her.
Anyways... it reminded me of the time in '96 when I was driving through Colorado with Bill Murray, and we stopped at a rest stop which was also one of those scenic view places and as I came out of the restroom, I saw that Bill was beseiged by a bunch of excited Asian tourists who were taking turns having group pictures taken with him. I figured, "Oh... Bill must be big in Japan". I stood back and watched until finally Bill begged off, tiring of having so many pictures taken, and started heading for the car. The asian tourists waved goodbye and as they passed me I guess one of the members of their group wasn't quite in the know of exactly who it was they'd just been photographed with because I heard him asking the others in a whisper (even though I didn't understand what he was saying).
"John Belushi", one of them said, to much murmuring agreement.
Hee hee! I have to admit I got the two mixed up sometimes when I was younger. They are kind of similar, aren't they?
Nice one, Ker. thanks for the guilt-post!
