...Bill Boergerhoff, 78, a retired meatcutter in Villa Park, Ill., has resisted his daughter's pleas that he move to California to be closer to her. "I don't know anybody out there," he says. "Here, when I walk into the grocery store, at least 10 people say, 'Hi.'" Then there are his friends at the local Veterans of Foreign Wars post, with whom he gathers every day to drink coffee and joke around. "What's going to replace all that in California?" he asks...

One famous night, when disappointed by the flat response to his monologue, Allen went into the audience, started a conga line that eventually included the entire crowd, led them...
...candidates did the roast-like Al Smith dinner--they separately taped halves of a conversation for an introduction to Sunday Nov. 5's Saturday Night Live's Presidential Bash 2000. Both played to their stereotypes not only on camera but off camera as well. After just one insipid sentence--"Hi, I'm Al Gore, Democratic candidate for President"--Gore began micromanaging. "I thought that line was out," he said. Meanwhile, Bush asked SNL writer Jim Downey to include even more malapropisms. After stumbling over the nonword "ambilavent," Bush turned to the crowd and said, "I don't know...
