HOWARD: Twenty-five years, Max. I came over from CBS in “51. Can you believe it? They were just building the lower level on the George Washington Bridge – I remember just after I started they were doing a remote there. Except nobody told me. Then ten after seven in the morning, I get a call. “Where the hell are you? You”re supposed to be on the George Washington Bridge!” I jump out of bed, run downstairs, I get out in the street, I flag a cab, jump in. I say, “Take me to the middle of the George Washington Bridge!” The driver turns round. He says, “Don”t do it, buddy. You”re a young man, you”ve got your whole life ahead of you.” (They break into uncontrollable laughter.) I think I”m going to kill myself. I”m going to blow my brains out right on air, right in the middle of the seven o”clock news. “The Death Hour”. A great Sunday-night show for all the family. Wipe Disney right off the air.*For Paddy Chayefsky”s original film version of this monologue (by a different character), click here.More Monologues from “Network”RelatedShareTweetPin
