Today on the Cactus and Reed Show, live from Sicily, it's our producer and his Giant Cannoli, mmmmMonica Bellucci, Mario Andretti, Roberto Benigni, and at seven feet from Georgetown, Gumby Gumby.

Today we celebrate our last day in Italy on the Cactus and Reed Show. In honor of this last day, our producer brought along his favorite part of Italy along with him to be part of the show, the Giant Cannoli. Cannolis originated in Sicily but have become popular in all corners of the world. The shells of fried pasta are usually filled with mascarpone or sweetened ricotta cheese mixed with various flavorings. While the staff appreciated the appearance of the Giant Cannoli, many of them were left longing for a real cannoli to eat.

Live from the Temple of Herrara in Aggregento Sicilty, it's the Cactus and Reed Show, with fresh off of his botched Sicilian marriage Michael Corleone and his family, Roberto Benigni, Mario Andretti, Monica Bellucci, and at seven feet from Georgetown, Gumby Gumby.

In honor of our time in Sicily, today the Corleone family graced us with their presence on the Cactus and Reed Show. The family was rather tight lipped about recent mob activities, which made for a rather quiet show. At one point, Don Corleone told Willis to stop asking such pointed questions or "Cactus would sleep with the fishes."

Live from the Coliseum in ancient Rome, it's the Cactus and Reed Show, with Italian funny man Roberto Benigni, assorted seasonal vegetables, Monica Bellucci, Mario Andretti, and Isabella Rosellini, and her genuine leather Italian paparazzi.

The Cactus and Reed Show ushered in fall today with an assortment of seasonal vegetables, mini-corn, squash, and pumpkins to adorn the set. Roberto Benigni also stopped by for a chat. Best known for his heartbreaking film, Life is Beautiful, and his antics at the Oscars that year, Benigni discussed his next project, a film loosely translated as "Tiger in the Snow." The show did end on a sad note as Benigni continued with his famous tradition of hugging everyone. Reed was pleased with the human contact, but Benigni impaled himself on Cactus and had to be rushed to a nearby hospital.

Vacation Hiatus

To all of the faithful viewers of the Cactus and Reed Show, we would like to apologize for the long hiatus the show has recently taken. After several weeks of stellar guests and hard hitting news stories, Willis was both physically and mentally exhausted. Lest he fall into the trap of drugs and alcohol like our last host Ms. Lohan, Willis took a much needed vacation to Italy. It was a semi-working vacation however. Willis took some time out from drinking copious amounts of red wine and watching German Popstar to scout locations and line up some of Italy's most famous celebrities for appearances on the show. This week we will be live from the Pantheon in Rome...so please stay tuned for new episodes and in the meantime enjoy these pictures from Willis's Italian Vacation. Ciao!

Live from the Florida Keys, it's the Cactus and Reed Show. Today's guest, the Men's Bathroom Key, the Keymaster, Keyshawn Johnson, the Keymaker, and Alicia Keys.

Today Key Week came to a close with the star of Key Week, the Men's Bathroom Key! The staff of the Cactus and Reed Show had to go to great lengths to secure MBK as a guest. After countless hours of wandering around the office asking people to cough up the key and search their bags and homes for lost keys, we finally located MBK in a drawer. MBK was more than happy to share the story of how he was rescued, dangling from the men's bathroom door in the secluded hallway and secreted away to safety in the drawer. We at the show would like to wish MBK best of luck...may he always reside in the wicker basket.
