Update 5: Here’s about as “official” word we’ll get from the Late Show’s “Wahoo Gazette“ Whoa! What happened to Dave’s mom’s pies? We didn’t do it this year. Why not? I’m not sure but I heard mom was in the mood for cake. If this helps at all, I ordered two pies from Supervising Editor Mark Spada’s [...]

Do You Like Apple Pie? No, I Like Popeye

The Man on a Flaming Pie
