Jerry Doyle on the Ronald Reagan funeral sevices.

[Flounder]

I read on rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated that Jerry Doyle sat in for Laura Ingraham on the day of the funeral.

I didn't listen to that, but I listened to the Jerry Doyle show, the first hour being mostly the sound from the service at the Ronald Reagan presidential library.

Afterwards, they were taking calls and recording them to be sent to the library for the family.


SPOILER below for the entire first four seasons




Babylon 5 connection: Jerry and Bruce sometimes looked at how some story lines in the show related to current events. Various pundits came with public critisim of Ronald Reagan even before he was put to rest. Jerry read an email on the air from a listener comparing that with the academics in The Deconstruction of Falling Stars on the 100th anniversary of the Interstellar Alliance, calling Sheridan power-hungry etc. The email described how Delenn came and told them
"John Sheridan was a good, kind, and decent man"

That's the kind of strenght that I saw in Nancy Reagan yesterday.

I've recorded it for posterity.

(On a related note, also from rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated, Bruce Boxleitner represented the Screen Actors' Guild at the library seremony.)

Interesting point and comparison to B5 you have there. I just wonder how Jerry Doyle ended up there... A man who loves his voice. Strange.

Yes, it was a good tie-in to Babylon 5.

But now that Ronald Reagan has been put to rest, it's OK to make negative comments. Jerry said in the show that on Monday, he would fire up the woodchipper and let people ring up and criticise Reagan. And shout at them, probably

A man who loves his voice.

Truly Babble-on-five I guess he feels he has something to say.

What radio station is Jerry on? And I agree that Nancy Reagan is a great woman. I didn't think so in the past, but since my stepmother has Alzheimers I can relate to Nancy better these days. I didn't cry for days after Ronald Reagan died, but as soon as I saw a picture in the paper of how sad Nancy looked, I cried. She went through what my father is now facing with my stepmother. She is in the early stages, but of course it will only get worse. I am glad that Nancy wants stem cell research. *Anything* to get rid of this horrible disease.
