Lots of folks still trying to make sense of Rudy Giuliani’s cell phone schtick — the bit in which his wife supposedly calls when he’s at the podium during a speech.
It’s a funny one-man skit — when it’s done by the master and originator, Bob Newhart.
Newhart’s routine of Abe Lincoln getting a call from his PR guy with advice on the Gettysburg Address (”Abe Lincoln vs. Madison Avenue”) is a timeless classic.
Better off leaving the premise to the professionals. See it here for yourself.
