Some premiers. Great Performances’ Peter and the Wolf is not one of them.
Yes, this is Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, California. It’s about 5 0’clock in the morning. That’s the homicide squad, complete with detectives and newspaper men.
The poor dope – he always wanted a pool. Well, in the end, he got himself a pool.

You’re Norma Desmond. You used to be in silent pictures. You used to be big.
I *am* big. It’s the *pictures* that got small.
Later-
Now you listen to me, I’m an advertising man, not a red herring. I’ve got a job, a secretary, a mother, two ex-wives and several bartenders that depend upon me, and I don’t intend to disappoint them all by getting myself “slightly” killed.

Dave hosts Barbara Walters, Jayma Mays, and Alison Balsom (trumpeter). Jon has Michelle Williams, Stephen Steve Martin (might be fun). Conan hosts Ray Romano, Arianna Huffington, and The LXD.

Well, this is where you came in, back at that pool again, the one I always wanted. It’s dawn now and they must have photographed me a thousand times. Then they got a couple of pruning hooks from the garden and fished me out… ever so gently. Funny, how gentle people get with you once you’re dead.
And I promise you I’ll never desert you again because after ‘Salome’ we’ll make another picture and another picture. You see, this is my life! It always will be! Nothing else! Just us, the cameras, and those wonderful people out there in the dark!… All right, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up.
