  • Now.

  • I brought up that, of course,

  • Max going at maximum the street band,

  • gonna be playing in Houston.

  • [Man] Hmm.

  • And which will be very ironic because tonight on our show

  • involves a guest.

  • Involves Houston.

  • We're gonna have for the first time ever Hilton the

  • chainsaw guy.

  • Now let me explain a little background here

  • in case you're confused.

  • We recently had a contest on our show involving two of our

  • sponsors in the city of Houston.

  • You see folks in Houston,

  • unlike the rest of the country,

  • our show comes on at 02:10 in the morning.

  • That's two and a half hours after Jay says,

  • "stay tuned for Kona".

  • (crowd laughing)

  • They show, this

  • two and a half hours, right?

  • Correct me if I'm wrong.

  • Jay says that, and that's like

  • when Jay Leno tells you something,

  • that's supposed to be a pact with the American people

  • [Man] Exactly.

  • He's giving his word

  • [Man] Exactly.

  • This mean creepy cruel

  • station in Houston,

  • doesn't show us, they're mad at us for some reason.

  • And they delay us and they show outtakes from MOD.

  • The old MOD series.

  • That's what they show.

  • They show Bea Arthur pumping and

  • [Man] I wish.

  • Yeah right.

  • See, that makes sense.

  • Right.

  • Now they show all kinds of random stuff.

  • They show like Richard Simmons sobbing, some show where he

  • just cries or something.

  • They show all kinds of

  • crap for two and a half hours.

  • And then finally,

  • finally our show comes on.

  • In what's really 02:10 in the

  • morning is crazy.

  • And being on at that late hour means you get some

  • interesting sponsors.

  • All right.

  • Some really interesting sponsors.

  • So we decided to pit two of these sponsors against each

  • other in a contest where

  • our viewers get to pick their favorite pitchman.

  • Well, a couple of weeks ago

  • we announced the winner

  • Hilton of Hilton Furniture.

  • Let's take a work, it's a

  • (laughing)

  • It's Friday.

  • Thank you .

  • Dyslexia, please.

  • Let's take a look at some of his work.

  • Hilton here, Hilton Furniture and Mattress.

  • Announcing the big price cut.

  • (chainsaw roaring)

  • We are cutting prices on wood.

  • Bedroom and dinner room for a limited

  • We're cutting prices on mattresses too.

  • Hilton Furniture and Mattress big price cut sale.

  • Because we're cutting prices and that's a

  • We're cutting prices and that's a

  • (cheering)

  • Now.

  • Now folks.

  • Hilton's price was an all expense paid trip

  • to New York to appear live on our show,

  • but we also thought it would be great if we treated Hilton

  • to an advertising make-over.

  • That's right.

  • That's right.

  • We thought an advertising make-over with the biggest

  • advertising company in the United States, FCB.

  • This is a real sleek advertising company,

  • so we took them there to give them a makeover.

  • Here's a tape of our little visit.

  • Hey, I'm here at FCB.

  • This is the number one advertising agency

  • in the United States.

  • Number five global.

  • These guys did the Gatorade ad where Gatorade comes through

  • Michael Jordan's skin.

  • (loud music)

  • Really disgusting.

  • They did the amazon.com ads you've seen everywhere.

  • Amazon dot com

  • They did the third most popular ad in the Superbowl

  • [Man] Tropicana Pure Premium with calcium.

  • So if anybody can help Hilton the chainsaw guy,

  • I think it's these people right here.

  • I've got a meeting scheduled for right about now.

  • Let's go.

  • [Man] So we're sitting here with the

  • creative team for FCB and

  • everyone here is in black, which is I guess,

  • a New York advertising thing.

  • I won't play that game.

  • You two are defiantly in gray,

  • which I like, and you're wearing sort of an off green.

  • So you're clearly they're phasing you out.

  • What would you normally charge

  • someone who came in here and said,

  • "I want a top spot.

  • I want an advertising campaign."

  • What kind of money are we talking about?

  • [Man] We don't charge by the spot,

  • [Man] Right?

  • You know, millions of dollars,

  • several millions of dollars.

  • What's the cheapest ad that you've ever done.

  • And how could I achieve that level of cheapness?

  • Last year,

  • we did the Yogi Berra Museum for nothing.

  • The Yogi Berra Museum has an ad.

  • (laughing)

  • The way advertising is portrayed in

  • Bewitched, is that fairly accurate.

  • Is there usually a client you have to have dinner with?

  • And at the last minute, your wife

  • who's a witch performs magic.

  • Darren gets upset and says,

  • "I'm sorry, this will never happen again."

  • The client says, "Are you kidding?

  • It's the best evening I ever have.

  • And I love it as a design concept."

  • And then mr.Tate apologizes and says,

  • "I had that idea all along.

  • Is that fairly accurate?

  • (laughing)

  • Why don't I show you now

  • some of Hilton's spots, his best spots that run in

  • Houston where our show airs at a shocking

  • 02:40 in the morning.

  • Let's take a look.

  • (TV playing)

  • (laughing)

  • [Man] What messages did you get

  • when you watched that commercial?

  • Very little.

  • [Man] Do you know what, what exit he's in the

  • I did see that.

  • The chainsaw was not actually on.

  • I noticed .

  • The sound effect of the chainsaw was headed afterwards.

  • Are you kidding?

  • You guys are, you know, until that chainsaw

  • wasn't really on.

  • They put a special effect in there.

  • That's the kind of cynicism.

  • And I don't mean this in a harsh way,

  • but that's the kind of cynicism that I think is destroying

  • the country.

  • (laughing)

  • And that's why I think John McCain should be our next

  • president.

  • All right.

  • Members of the cynical advertising community of New York,

  • I give you Hilton.

  • Hi there.

  • How are you?

  • So help me ready get to work.

  • I'm ready to go.

  • All right, here we go.

  • I want you to have a seat right over here.

  • Perfect.

  • And I don't know if you're aware of this,

  • this is the number one advertising agency in the

  • United States.

  • Number five global,

  • assumed to be number eight.

  • I'll tell you about later.

  • It was in the paper this morning.

  • [Man] What's the information that you have to get out

  • pretty much it's what's the tell us

  • the information you have to get out.

  • Of course, the name of the store,

  • [Man] Right?

  • The exit.

  • [Man] The exit.

  • And the location.

  • [Man] location.

  • And that's a fact Jack.

  • (shout in unison)

  • [Man] Why did you call it the

  • fact's a fact Jack?

  • Well, when we moved into the building,

  • of course we didn't have any capital to do anything.

  • And the F.A.C.T sign on was at the, on top of the building.

  • And I had to incorporate that into what we were doing.

  • [Man] So you had to use it a pre-existing sign,

  • that's where you got that's a fact Jack.

  • Right

  • Yep.

  • It's like Edison in his lab,

  • accidentally mixed two material,

  • two materials and got the light bulb was an accident.

  • Get the camera off, I feel embarrassed.

  • (laughing)

  • Would you be willing to let,

  • to be shot on camera.

  • And what I mean, shot him with a gun,

  • not in a violent area, but if we promoted that total,

  • Brian's going to shoot Hilton in the shoulder.

  • And my dad's a doctor.

  • I'd pick a place that I wouldn't hit bone.

  • I'd try not to hit bone.

  • Be honest with me.

  • Is this something, how bad do you want this?

  • I'd probably take the shot.

  • [Man] You take the shot?

  • Yeah.

  • Before you pass out. You give, you know,

  • exit basically where the store is located.

  • It's an event.

  • [Man] What is it?

  • It's an event.

  • [Man] Say it again.

  • It's an event.

  • Say it one more time but like with a different accent

  • (speak in foreign accent)

  • [Man] Right?

  • We don't have to the chainsaw.

  • I mean, that's something that we can work around also.

  • You don't take away Superman's cape.

  • (chainsaw roaring)

  • We're in the main presentation room at FCB

  • and this is pretty exciting, isn't it?

  • Oh, it's very exciting.

  • The creative team here has been working this week

  • on an idea

  • and they've got something that they want to show us.

  • You guys happy with what he came up with.

  • Yeah.

  • Very.

  • This is the best advertising company in United States.

  • It's number one

  • All right.

  • And globally, I think they're like number 26.

  • We thought that the chainsaw, you know,

  • and how it was emblematic for cutting prices

  • which is the main reason people will come to your store.

  • So that's what we've tried to do here is to take your

  • chainsaw technique and as Jen said,

  • elevate it to a whole new level.

  • All right, well what's the best thing

  • maybe we should take a look at the ad right now.

  • And Liza, do you wanna hit the button?

  • [Man] Michael.

  • Tiger.

  • Mia.

  • Hilton.

  • As the great ones know,

  • If you do your work well,

  • all the world will profit from it.

  • Hilton's Furniture.

  • Great furniture.

  • Greatly reduced prices.

  • And that's a fact, Jack.

  • Yes.

  • Yeah.

  • I'm taking yes, what are you taking?

  • High five brother.

  • Double high five.

  • I love that ad.

  • That's it.

  • You're up there with who's the basketball player?

  • Michael Jordan.

  • It's basketball, right?

  • My thought is you don't hear the chainsaw in this ad and yet

  • that's the loudest I've ever heard that chain saw.

  • Right.

  • Does that make sense?

  • Yeah.

  • Would you explain it to me cause I have no idea.

  • The cheque is in the mail.

  • I was told today.

  • And if there's any problem with the cheque,

  • which you shouldn't be.

  • You know where to get us we're over at ABC.

  • (laughing)

  • I do a show called Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

  • (jazz music)

  • (cheering)

  • All right everybody, you don't wanna go anywhere tonight.

  • When we come back,

  • Hilton the chainsaw guy is gonna be here.

Now.
