Caine - I don't know if Caine holds greater meaning. Other then maybe the neglectful nature of circus showmen. But I've recently come to wonder, given the corruption aspect of his character. That his head, might not be that way intentionally. That it's been a loading error this whole time. Like this

This is why I fucked with Conan more than any other late night host. There are other hosts that are better showmen or or have more approachable material, sure. But at his core, Conan is deep down a funny, funny dude. It's a genuine part of who he is.
Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

I always liked Chicago, they were best when doing live performances though, always great showmen and could not only keep to the sound everyone was used to from recordings, but also improvised and embellished their works with trye style and flair of the jazz greats in previous decades.

I'm glad there were others who saw his absolute phoniness. People like him, who claim a ladder to fame, based on the shocking things they are saying, are simply fakers. They are just showmen. Not some bastion of mysterious truths. Kirk said horrific, untrue things to fan culture war fires.

I played some old songs from Tangled and The Greatest Showmen. I can't believe I remember almost all the lyrics still.

kiss was never serious about anything. they were strictly showmen (nothing wrong with that) more than musicians, and they've said as much. two of the original members are very pro-israel. the rest is left as an exercise for the reader.
fam our government is a fucking fascist wax museum
I see Stallone sent a cardboard standee instead

But it also reminds me of how limited the choices were back in 2004-05, and how the premier showmanship of people like Ultron and Captain Kirk was about the best you could hope for from a network show back in the day. And truly they were both top showmen. Too bad so few of the women got to show off.

I'm happy that Wild Tiger Woman is on it.
I saw Roy 2 more times, in Aberdeen & Dundee, fronting a big band of mostly women (only Roy and the drummer were men) called Roy Wood's Army. In the taxi on the way to the Dundee show, the driver said: "Oooo, they don't make showmen like him anymore!"

These conservative grifters are always failed showmen. They’re too mediocre even for Hollywood’s basic standards so they claim it’s “bias” and set up their OWN avenues to get into that “Hollywood elite” they claim to despise.
"How embarrassing. Bari’s been Editor-in-Chief for five seconds and has revealed that all she really wants is to be on TV herself. It doesn’t get more toe-curling than this," one network staffer told me about Weiss moderating a CBS town hall with Erika Kirk.

Can’t believe it’s over but Calling Valencia was WILD 🫶
We saw @paulostcg.bsky.social take it home as we wrapped a FABulous stream!

Were seeing the same cognitive decline with Trump as we saw with Reagan. Both men were inveterate showmen and they could always turn on the spiel when they needed to.

But when they're having an off day, or as the day sinks into the night, their minds turn to mush and their words turn to gibberish.

Old school British wrestling is brilliant…well, everything was worse back then, but also, somehow, better 🤣🇬🇧

*to this day British wrestling is known as “technical” & that’s because the old boys were fighters 1st, showmen 2nd (they could actually scrap)

Marvellous 🤼‍♀️🇬🇧

Winter Morning Poem
By Ogden Nash

Winter is the king of showmen,
Turning tree stumps into snow men And houses into birthday cakes And spreading sugar over lakes.

Stevie Wright was up there with Steve Marriott as one of the great rock'n'roll singers and showmen. Never mentioned in those Rolling Stone lists, but who cares?

Those archaeologists, what showmen!

Mike Cross, though mysteriously mostly popular only in the North Carolina / Tennessee / Kentucky / Alabama region, was one of the best showmen I've ever watched. That man was a musician and raconteur par excellence.

The Kenny Rodgers one was in Detroit and my then boyfriend and I were taken out by one of his company supplier reps, which was still allowed back then. I thought it would be dire, but they were both brilliant showmen and it's still one of the best concerts I've been to.

My illegal order you must obey today or you're a traitor....

Watch the Lions half-time show. Even if you don't watch football anymore like me, I support the showmen, and their voices that are helping us.

Shit, the Lions was a team that didn't honor Charlie Kirk for the right reasons.
