Yes it's Halloween, but more importantly it's WADE'S DAY OFF! Dedicated to working for WADE.
Yesterday was tiring, but very cool! Jerry Seinfeld was the special guest comedian on 'Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn' they did the coolest act 3 ever. It will be on Comedy Central again (repeat) tonight at 7:30pm. Not to be missed.
I was 2-3 feet from Seinfeld a bunch of times, but he was in the zone and I didn't feel right bugging him. At the end of the show I said, "Great Job!" And he smiled back.
Also, Louie CK was on the show and I congradulated him on getting a pilot deal on CBS. He was real cool this encounter, and thanked me ten times after I got him some cold medicine.
Then at the end of the night my good friend SARA (NO H please!) and I saw the great John Marshall perform at the Comedy Underground (thanks Mike Birch for the directions to the place). John was really funny and then afterward we went to 'Tom's Restaurant' with John and another really funny comedian, Eric Kirschberger. - GREAT DAY!
October 30, 2003
One of the biggest comedians on the planet 'could' be working in the pressence of one 'WADE'.
BAD NEWS:
WADE'S SINUS' ARE ACTING UP AGAIN! BOO!
Hopefully WADE will have the day off tomorrow to get better.
Thanks to Meghan and Lisa who came to the show last night! Hope you had fun.

WADE WORKED ON A REMOTE TV SHOOT WITH NICK DI PAOLO (the comedian). He is a cool guy! Lot of laughs.
I ate spicy Indian food. I am hurtin!
I believe I had 66 hits today, but can't confirm this fact because I was not home to check before midnight. UGH!
October 27, 2003
I had chicken parm (free - thanks Comedy Central!) for lunch.
I am soaking wet, I'm sure I'll have a cold by the end of the week.
And my sinus' were doing so well.
Raining here in NYC!
WADE IS ON THE MOVE!
October 26, 2003
I just got out of work at NBC Sports and headed to the Port Authority. On 45th St, a SUV was parked at the curb with it's hood up. I walked by and saw that it was Brian Dennehy, the famous actor (FIRST BLOOD). I walked up and asked if he need to use my cell phone. He smiled and thanked me, but said, "No, I screwed up my parking brake. but thanks."
I said, "You know you spoke to a bunch of us at Associated Press four years ago. (His father had worked there in the 50s and 60s) I thought that was a cool thing to do."
He smiled again.
"You still work there?"
"Nah, they had me on the night shift, like your dad."
"Where do you work now?"
"NBC and Comedy Central."
"Good for you."
"Well sir, I hope you're brake thing works soon."
"Thanks and best of luck." Yet, a third Dennehy smile.
I walked away.
Cool guy. Cool celebrity sighting.
Beer is good
Liquor BAD!
Don't Mix both
When you're sad!
Oh boy, I 'm at NBC Sports and, well... yes, I am very hungover.
I haven't eatin anything yet. I'm going to have a banana and a strong cup of coffee.
(sad note: I only had 4 and 1/2 beers - in 5 hours)
Yes, ?I;ve had some beers and I am cocked! I am posting this and will not eraze it. I am humna and I drink beer soo what? what! yeah
Yankees lost boo hoo! but i was at a bar amd my friends mike and nick bought me beers - thanks guys. theyr good people. then i talked to pretty girl. i tried playing cool but run oout of things to say. she don't sayt nothing back. so i get c*ck blocked by 20 guys thru -oput the night. somehow she always comes back the wade. but he says something like, "So when are you going back to San Diego>:?" and then suddenly silence , than she says "Sandiego, I'm from OC!" so wade goes, "I'ven't seen the show yet." and he gets blocked yet agan (wade can still talk in the 3rd person singular drunk! - what a guy!)
so it's 2am and wade's gotta work sunday, maybe you say i can't seal the de3al, but i like this girl. i'm looking for longevity. yeah i may be nuts, but i don't want a quickie, i want something real. so she leaves and says she'll be right back. i wait - sucka. so then i leave and eat cookies back at my place my grandma sent me.

Last night I had my final performance at the Gershwin Hotel in NYC. I want to thank Todd, Jess, and OF COURSE -JODI for coming to the show.
I'm working at NBC Sports and I just ate two chicken sandwiches with strong American Cheese, Dirty Potato Chips (Salt and Vinegar) and a little salad. - ALL FREE.
There are some people from China visiting the control room today. They are asking me many questions, I have very few answers.
October 24, 2003
I just worked out at the gym. I walked (speedwalked) 3.9 mph for 35 minutes. I did 34 crunches. 2 sets, 8 reps on the power bicep machine. Then I walked back home.
I am pooped! But pumped!
ps My gut is still very visable.
WADE IS OFF TODAY AND WORKING FOR WADE!
Yes, he's about to hit a diner for some eggs, get a winter coat, buy some OJ, buy a book on comedy, write, work on his standup, and clean his bathroom.
SOUNDS LIKE FUN!!!!!!!

***Wade's final time performing at one of his favorite, cool places to perform in NYC. It's closing it's door to comedy next week. RIP GERSHWIN!
October 23, 2003
I was picking stuff up on 42nd Street, and on my way there I saw Wyclef Jean singing on top of a tour bus in Times Square. He played two songs, and wore a red hat. I waved to him, but he didn't wave back. I will not buy his album.
We ate salads and diet stuff (FREE) and I snuck two chocolate canolis. Oh, yeah! You can't keep Wade down today.
Last night I went to a play with two female co-workers. One of them had a rotten banana in her backpack (no Joke). I felt bad for her. It was on the bottom of her backpack and everything got gross and sticky. If I had any extra money, honest, I would have bought her a new backpack. Because that's the type of guy WADE is.
October 22, 2003
Yes, I'm working at Comedy Central and there was free food today and yes it did, BITE BACK at WADE!
It was vegan food dressed as Chinese food and Wade took the bait. And he neglected to ask anyone anything.
"What is this?" I said, after I finished most of it. "I got a weird taste in my mouth and I gotta go potty bad, and fast!"
(break)
Then being the dope I am I ran back to the food and ate a big piece of chocolate cake. It wasn't great, but ... you know decent. Then again, a weird taste in my mouth, bathroom problems etc.
The cake was vegan too!
Wade has been wronged! Twice!
October 21, 2003
Yes folks, Cameron Diaz may have won money in the California lottery (see the prior post below), but last week when I was visiting my family in NH, my mom and I went to Shaw's Supermarket to buy whoopie pies and I bought a scratch ticket for a buck and won $10! No joke!
What do you think about that, LIZ SMITH???????
WADE: The following is a NYC Gossip blurb by Liz Smith.
It's either very funny or very sad. Judge for yourself.
I was going to put my own comments in between her drivel, but would rather just post it AS IS.
LIZ SMITH 10/21/03:
WHAT IS Justin Timberlake waiting for as far as movies go? He seems to be a natural. He was very funny recently on "Saturday Night Live." Justin was especially amusing in drag, skewering air-head pop singer Jessica Simpson. (Ms. Simpson and her hubby, singer Nick Lachey, have an MTV reality show that is the latest guilty pleasure.)
By the by, Justin's friend - Cameron Diaz - continues to be a lucky young lady. On the spur of the moment, buying orange juice at a convenience store, Cameron plunked down $2 on the California lottery. She hit! - not the million-plus jackpot - but the $5,000 one for getting some numbers correct. All that, and Justin, too?!

Just then a bus blocked us and he disappeared.

October 17, 2003
What rumors you ask?
I worked alongside Halle Berry Today NO JOKE!
I held the cue cards and she read off them for a commercial parody
for Saturday Night Live.
Watch this Saturday, she is on a couch with a phone. All the words that come out of her mouth... were on the cue card... I was holding.
WOW! I hope this new found stardom doesn't go to my head.
(Perhaps it already has)
Met two nice girls tonight in Hoboken while Aaron Boone hit the ....
Lisa (the CPA), and Megan (business cards maker/poet/writer/graphics designer) helped me get over the Sox defeat!
Now it's time to sleep!

Now the big question, HOW WILL WADE CELEBRATE??????
-big party?
-body shots?
-Boston Market??????
Yes, if you guessed Boston Market... you are correct!
Thanks mommy for the Boston Market coupons.
And 'no thanks' to Fred from NBC Sports who says the BM in Boston Market stands for something else.
Yes siree, you are in luck. This (and every) Thursday at 10:30pm, THE

I'm trying to get my first draft of my potential one man show done today. I just ate a bagel and... my deoderant is bothering me something terrible. I used to wear BRUT! Yes, Broadway Joe's favorite!!!! But I have had trouble finding the expensive stuff as of late. so I have resorted to using Right Guard and I don't like my smell. I feel like a walking bathroom air freshner. I miss you BRUT! Your lime smell of man!!!!
October 14, 2003
Tonight I performed at Rodeo in Hoboken and just want to thank Diana for coming! I appreciated you being there.
I just got out of a meeting and I'm watching the Sox (losing 3-0).
Still hate announcer Tim McCarver... what a jerk!
Wade is back in NYC back in business!
The bus trip lasted 8 hours. And YES, I sat next to an elderly lady who smelled like pee and... (bonus) she talked to herself! HOW FUN!
RedSox won! Believe!
October 13, 2003
(Who am I kidding?)
October 12, 2003
Wow! I saw 'Kill Bill' yesterday and I thought is was exciting, violent, with a great story. BUT BUT BUT it can IN 'NO WAY' COMPARE TO THE RED SOX LOSS TO THE YANKEES (4-3) In yestersday's game 3 of the ALCS.
The game was exciting! Clemens and Pedro, it was violent (no severed legs, but a lot of wrassling!!!!!!), and just a GREAT STORY!!!!! (but a sad ending for me and the rest of the Fenway faithful. Sox continue to blow more opportunities, Nomar proves to be NO DEREK JETER - who is, without a doubt in my mind, and I'm a RedSox Fan, THE BEST SHORTSTOP IN BASEBALL -reasoning????? one word, "CLUTCH!")
Yes, Uma Thurman is hotter than Garcia or Zimmer but...let's put it this way, as fresh and innovative as Quentin Tarantino is... would he be able to introduce a character who was seventy-two years old, with a plate in his head, to an audience who would be 'divided' into thinking he was a:
1) dumb old man who got what was coming to him!
2) poor old buck who didn't deserve to have his huge head slammed into the turf by one of the greatest baseball pitchers in the last 50 years.
Yes, Quentin Tarantino's 'Kill Bill' has suspense and biting action sequences, but would he fail to have the cameras running when a elementary school special ed teacher, who moonlights as a Fenway Park grounds keeper, throws punches with two million dollar making Yankees in the 'bullpen'? Would he do something like that just to build the suspense?
I loved 'Kill Bill' it was a blend of many different things and I'm looking forward to seeing the second half (though I'm sure there was no need beside greed to have released it in two parts - shame on you Miramax).
But Quentin Tarantino, in all honesty, your movie doesn't hold a candle to the Red Sox-Yankee game 3, 2003 ALCS. If this game was a movie (titles: 'Kill Popeye' 'Three Men and a 72 year old with a metal plate in his head' 'Wrestlemania XX: Live at Fenway Park' 'Don't Mess With Pedro' 'Once Upon A Time in the Pennant Race' 'Reason Why WADE Owes Many People In Hoboken Beers' 'Wow, why is my buddy Nick a Mets Fan, anyway?' etc... it would sweep the Oscars... or perhaps be the favorite to win all the Oscars and... well... then get shut out and lose. Leaving the many and many backers heartbroken.
( i apologize for grammar and spelling mistakes in this post but i have to go grocery shopping)
October 11, 2003
I just ate a couple tunafish sandwiches (on 7 grain) and some low fat Greek Lemon soup. Good stuff. Then I took a two hour walk and then... ate a hot fudge sundae!
Redsox are on soon. Pedro vs. Clemens.
Thanks to everyone who's been helping on the CSTV Grass root effort to help WADE!!!!!!
October 10, 2003
Today I had a medium Dunkin Donut coffee (one sugar and lowfat milk) and a wheat bagel with nothing on it. Drinking orange juice as we speak. WADE'S DIET IS GOING WELL (for the day so far).
Big Friday... yes, it is!
October 9, 2003
The full details:
Folks, I've been featured in a few TV promos (commercials) on Direct TV here in the Tri State Area. They are for CSTV (College Sports TV), a new channel.

-Toasted tuna sandwich and chips.

I took a long walk so I guess that makes up for it all. My New Balance sneakers (like my boss Kevin has) are so so so comfortable.
Grady Little, the Boston Red Sox manager is either brilliant, or the biggest idiot in sports today.

Why is it big?

Here's a question:
If Arnold can become the governor of California,
Can't Adam Wade get a job doing something creative and make $40,000.
Fairy Godmother are you out there???????
Make this frog a prince!
October 7, 2003
Slow day here in NYC, just got a Dunkin Donuts medium coffee regular and a wheat bagel (as is). Plan on working out tonight! My gut isn't shrinking, but it's not getting bigger either.

Promoted WADE hard last night at my favorite bar in Hoboken. I wonder if all those people will check out the site??????????
I kicked my sinus cold's ass! At least for now!
WADE IS SO TOUGH!
Congrats to former SNL writer Steven Cragg (or Stephen Cragg), he's in the new Subway commercials. He's really good in them. When I was an NBC Page back in 1999-2000 he actually let me go to his office and talk about comedy etc. He watched a couple of my tapes and went over them with me. Good for you Professor Cragg. Keep up the good work. Wish I was able to keep in touch with you after you moved back to the West Coast.

They show a bunch of movies and the judges make comments. How did I get to be a judge???
Look at my version of CITIZEN KANE.
Lester Holt in the hallway at NBC (just now)
He was on his phone looking important!
I didn't say anything to him because I had to potty bad.
Our Director, Jeff Simon, brought it to my attention that I've been appearing on CSTV (College Sports TV) promos. I'm wearing my 'WADE' teeshirt.
So check out CSTV (if you have DIRECT TV).
Barry is here today at NBC Sports, What a guy! He shaved his head. He sort of looks like Ed Norton, only tougher.
How about them RedSox??? What a game!!!!!!
October 3, 2003
