The ratings were strong hello Ian and I think the other thing is is we we. I think to there with the show actually get some good moments although it's up to tell well I have to say it was fun watching in the big crowd you out of big liquor up have to -- But. I put well that opening. Music number was just beyond horrible camp. The I -- the opening monologue with Steve Martin and -- always funny why -- they cut out the Tiger Woods jokes on how can you how can you have a monologue and and not have Tiger Woods strokes and it it's beyond me you do you gotta. But but. I -- a lot of the stuff the material was pretty funny that they did I that they made a good pair dial ball and makes a good straight man Steve Martin's a funny guy we're gonna tell you. He's a wild and crazy but they hit I mean domestically this is an even looking at the world worldwide numbers.

In these awards shows a big event TV you Winter Olympics. Everything's up and I think there's so. Certainly with Oscars affect the had a movie is being is avatar. Had a lot to do with the ratings and and yeah we saw that happen when no vote in west James Cameron blockbuster Titanic was nominated. The other thing is is that I think -- we've talked about it before. People just don't have a much -- go right now I mean it's.

Hey good to talk to you again how are you. Excellent. I wanted to throw -- spend spend about the Oscars. I watch the Oscars just about every year I was. I was just so disappointed at how uninspired it seems. And every base they showed an audience these people look forward out of their minds like they want to be anywhere else. Having. Five different people come on and -- criticism of the best actor and actress nominee is. Eight up a lot of time they were bringing -- they were bringing up that music again. On people there's used to be if --

Your either you're the best person in America that doesn't ever remote control everyone could just change the channel if you're satisfied a key to do what we did you know it's been drinking game that is that it.

I don't drink anymore.

Well okay how about work in that -- in that case you're drinking game was you get have a drink every time they said Tiger Woods should -- pathetic that you then tie all night --

Yes Steve -- and Alec Baldwin were great but you know Steve Martin's carried -- by himself. It -- you could the but go ahead.

No I think I think it makes a valid points but. I think part of these shows is of course they're going to be people -- that it. -- course there's gonna be those moments where you go a man like that big dance number was one of the the worst things that I mean IC better dance in my leg when my hard drive home Monday train. You see better dancing in the house should show power --

Yet they just actually they had their last episode last week. Yes there are a long a long run bomb an outrageous show show I enjoyed but I think its last season it really it was kind of written out time effort ago. But. Interest in Howard the last episode of it now they didn't kill anybody off. So I think they always they would they wanted to hold up the possibility of maybe they do revive it maybe they have that resurrection.
