Sparks flew between Gov. Mike Huckabee and Ann Coulter during last week’s show. Mike aired a bunch of clips of Ann blasting him during the primaries, insulting him with phrases like, “He’s (Huckabee) a stupid Christian”. Ouch!!! And other such similar comments.

Those of us in Greenroom were cringing and wincing. However, true to form, Mike handled it like the humble statesmen he is. He was diplomatic, but didn’t back down. And the next segment was devoted to talking about Ann’s new book “Guilty”.

However, guest Jerry Springer, watching from backstage had one suggestion during the more contentious moments of the interview… he shouted at Mike via the TV, “throw a chair!” Ah Jerry!

Musical guests this week were The Bellamy Brothers. Howard and Dave Bellamy first hit the national charts in 1976 with their hit “Let Your Love Flow”. It’s a song I thought they wrote. Turns out their big hit was written by one of Neil Diamond’s roadies, Larry E. Williams. It’s a fact Howard Bellamy made sure to tell me during rehearsal. But that’s how gracious these two Southern country boys are.

BTW,  they say they’ve probably performed “Let Your Love Flow” more than 6,000 times, BUT, were more than willing to play through it as often as us members of ‘The Little Rockers’ needed, to make sure it went well during the show. Mike joked that of those 6,000 performances, most of them were during our rehearsal!!! That’s a joke!

Other interesting stuff: Ann Coulter borrowed those silver hoop earrings she wore during the interview from FOX hairstylist Gavina Valdez. Ann was behind schedule and in a flurry and had lost one of her earrings along the way. So, instead of going without or just wearing one, Gavina lent her the pair she was wearing. Ann said they looked much better than her own. So if you watch the clip, know that those earrings aren’t Ann’s.

See you next week!!
