“I’m tired of pretending like I’m not special” ....Charlie Sheen


I just finished watching the Charlie Sheen interview that was conducted by Jeff Rossen on the Today show.    If you would like to see it I've embedded it here.  

It is obvious that they didn’t show the entire interview.  There must have been so much laughing in the editing room that they just couldn’t take it anymore.  However, Jeff Rossen did say at the end of the clip that there would be more to come.  First, let me give credit where credit is due.  Jeff Rossen did a good job in conducting the interview.  The parts that are so funny is how Charlie Sheen thinks he is head and shoulders above everyone else.  Mr. Rossen (who for the rest of this blog I will refer to as Jeff) asked Charlie Sheen (who for the rest of this blog I will refer to as Charlie the Tuna) about his demand for a raise to come back to the show “Two and a Half Men.”  Charlie the Tuna made no bones about it in saying that he demands 3 million dollars per episode to come back.   Jeff just looked at him with shock and disbelief and replied, “So you want a raise?”  He then said, “You’re making 2 million per episode now” obviously hoping that Charlie the Tuna would realize that the whole world thinks he is already overpaid.  But Charlie the Tuna didn’t pick up on that and was still trying to sell his point that He had so much star quality that Starkist (CBS) would have to take him back on his terms and his terms were a ridiculous 3 million dollars per episode.  After all, Charlie, you even said so yourself, “It’s not rocket science.”  Any number of actors could play the part that you play.  But then again he may have a point.  He is special.  Just play the interview all the way to the end and listen to him expose himself.  The last thing you hear from Charlie the Tuna is the question, “What are the 3 chambers of my heart?”  Therein lies the answer to it all.  Charlie the Tuna is special, as in rides the short bus.  Obviously, Charlie didn’t pay attention in school because most kids in school know that there are really 4 chambers to the heart.   Maybe you are right, Charlie.  A normal brain can’t understand you and the reason is a normal brain gets plenty of oxygen delivered by the blood.  Maybe your brain, on the other hand, gets more alcohol and drugs than it does oxygen.  I hope that CBS keeps the show without   Charlie the Tuna.  Just write the character out of the show and bring in someone who wants it.   It would still be a big hit.  Sorry Charlie.
