June 21, 201015 yr comment_81068 http://leisureblogs.chicagotribune.com/the...-last-time.html I felw in from LA on frequent flier miles at the last minute when my buddy scored tickets. I went to the 10PM show. I missed Ditka, but actually saw him walk past us out the door while waiting in line. He looked like he was hurting... Couldn't walk really well. But Van Horne filled in beautifully! All the guys put on a fully read of the script! David Koechner, Wendt, Montegna, Smigel, Sanz (who did an amicable job filling in for the late great Farley...), and Odenkirk were hilarious! It's honestly everything you'd have expected. Pure ridiculousness. They Make "It's Pat" and not this! Maybe it wouldn't have been a national hit, but I gurantee we'd all have the deluxe edition DVD's at home in heavy rotation! After the show they joked around a lot and auctioned off a few items. If you stuck around, a lof of the cast hung around to chat. I met George Wendt, Horatio Sanz, and KEITH VAN HORNE! He was totally cool. And he's the most enourmous human being I've ever been around. I'm not a small guy at 5'10" and 250 lbs, and I looked liked a tiny person next to him! The ring was super cool to look at close up. It was a hell of an event! Report
