I would also have to vote for Pig Vomit's speech durng the closing credits...I wonder how many people when they first saw the movie left during the credits and never saw this?
PIG VOMIT: Howard, Fred, I'd like you to meet your new newsman, Ross Buckingham.
HOWARD/FRED: Hi. Pleasure.
ROSS: I'm looking forward to joining the team.
PIG VOMIT: Now, old Ross here's quite lively,and I think he'll fit in well with your special brand of humor.
ROSS: As a matter of fact, I'm a bit of an old comedy man myself. I've done quite a bit of light comedy in my younger years. Summer stock... mostly.

HOWARD: Are we ready in there, Freddy Boy?
FRED: OK. We've got our next phone call to Ross.
HOWARD: Guess who's on the phone with us.
ROSS: I really have no idea.
HOWARD: Just take a wild guess. Do it right off the top of your head.
ROSS: Um...
HOWARD: This is a good one. It's a good mystery guest.
ROSS: Um...
HOWARD: What an ad-libber, Ross.

HOWARD: and, Donna, I don't know if you know this, but our own news guy Ross Buckingham actually has some theater experience as well, don't you, Ross? Do you want to tell us about that?
ROSS: Yes. Um... I once did some summer stock.
HOWARD: I know you're very, very proud of your summer stock experience. When you went on stage the very first time, did you ever get nervous?
ROSS: No, I was...quite comfortable.
HOWARD: I see. That's very interesting.
In a movie that's filled with so many hilarious scenes, the scenes with the news guy Ross always crack me up the most!!!!!!!
Possibly the funniest scene: when the tour group came off of the elevator and began to tour the WNBC facility, tour group rounds the corner and looks into the studio glass windows to discover Stern on the air with the naked model swallowing the sausage. The look on that tourguide's face is priceless! heh-heh!
I know a lot of you out there really love this music, but I just don't get it. Explain it to me. And maybe it's 'cause I went to college, and I never drove a truck and had sex with my daddy's sister.
After Alison has left Howard and he's talking to Fred Howard: "What am I gonna do?" Fred (mumbles): "I dunno." Howard: "Thanks Fred, you're always there for me."
After Robin has been fired and no newsperson will work with Howard. Howard: "Is it MON-aco or mon-ACO? It's MON-aco, right? MON-aco. Well anyway, she's dead."
I have a new philosophy. I'm only going to dread one day at a time.
