27 finale

Quote A: “That’s what I like to see! The boy from Brazil is going bananas!”

놀이터 먹튀 from Leno, Letterman, Stewart and others, was at a loss last Sunday with their shows sidelined.

Stephanopoulos issued a call for viewers to rescue the fixture.

“If you see something funny on the Web or want to get in on the act yourself, record your comedy riff on this week’s political news on video, webcam or cell phone and upload it to us” at abcnews.com, he said.

The only viewer aid needed at “Dancing with the Stars” remains the phone, text and online audience votes that help decide the celebrity contestants’ fates.

David Boone, the show’s WGA member who walked off the job along with thousands of other movie and TV writers in Los Angeles and New York, was scripting material including introductions and descriptions of upcoming episodes, a task Bergeron said now is handled by producers.

Boone also served as a “wonderful” sounding board for impromptu jokes during the live broadcast, said the host; the longtime friends had worked together on “Hollywood Squares.”

Bergeron used to lean heavily on canned patter until realizing, early in season two, that the approach wasn’t working. (Co-host Samantha Harris fills the role of earnest partner.)

“You can see I’d walk on after a dance and have a line ready to go,” Bergeron told The AP. “Sometimes it was a very good line, but it wasn’t organic to what was happening. … We don’t do that anymore. Now, I’m watching the dance and responding to it and what I felt about it.”

He enjoys playing ball with the excitable Tonioli.

The judge’s “right arm sweeps over his left shoulder and I know he’s about to let loose with an extremely clever or pained metaphor,” Bergeron said, comparing himself to a batter “waiting for a good pitch.”

Contestants provide inspiration as well, such as sexy soap star Cameron Mathison’s tongue-in-cheek vow to dance in a thong if he makes it to the Nov. 27 finale.

“And that special edition of `Dancing with the Stars’ will be pay-per-view,” Bergeron intoned dryly when the camera swung his way.
