We thought that things couldn't get more tense than they were for yesterday's show but Wednesday's show was cut short by a power(trip) outage at the studio. We decided to delay the guest until Thursday due to time constraints but the E Street Band rocked the studio with the classic Born in the USA! The whole staff breathed a sigh of relief after the show and looked forward to a complete lineup for tomorrow.

Live from Asbury Park, New Jersey, where the Ponies are Always Stoned, it's the Cactus and Reed Show, with Lindsay Lohan. On today's show, Jack Nicholson, the E-Street Band, and at 7-feet, Gumby Gumby!!

Tensions were high as we prepared for Tuesday's show. MC Skilly Skilz, one of our most important team members, had left for vacation, so the creative director was in charge of all creative elements of the show along with the untested, Intern Number One. Everyone really stepped up to the plate and we pulled through with Jack Nicholson as the guest, along with a removable Joker mask. The E-Street band wowed with a wonderful rendition of Rosalita.

Today on the Show....

Today, live from Asbury Park, New Jersey, it's the Cactus and Reed Show with Lindsay Lohan, with special musical guests Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band!

Today's show got off to a bit of a shaky start as one of our producers mysteriously disappeared for several hours. The show kicked off with our announcer, PB, needing three takes to get the opening anouncement perfect...first it was the E Steet Band, then the next take, Bruce Springstreen, but he finally got it right on the third take. There is some concern surrounding his mental health, however we hope a short vacation will rectify the situation. The band then kicked off the show with a rousing rendition of "Born to Run." After the song, the band sat down for a chat. Bruce discussed how much his recent tour with the Seeger Sessions Band sucks and how he's only doing it to up his street cred in the folk music world. Max Weinberg discussed his time with the comedic genius Conan O'Brien, and Stevie Van Zandt talked about his recent acting turn on the Sopranos. There was almost an embarrassing scene because no one knew that Patti Scialfa was actually in the band, we just thought she was "Bruce's Wife." The Big Man discussed his upcoming gastric bypass surgery and the other guitarist and the keyboardist sat silent because no one cares who they are.

Show History

The New Cactus and Reed Show with Lindsay Lohan is an entertainment themed talk show based in New York City. Its hosts are Nesting Doll Willis Reed, the fabled center for the New York Knicks, and the Lindsay Lohan Mug.

Originally broadcast from the 9th Floor parlor at 787 7th Avenue, the Cactus and Reed Show began as a politically oriented roundtable discussion, with Cactus dispensing its more conservative viewpoint and Reed opining on the liberal side of the issues. Highly respected, the Cactus and Reed show went on to win 3 consecutive “Parly” awards from December 2005 through February 2006.

In March 2006, the Cactus and Reed Show moved to its new studios at 855 6th Avenue, and began a successful run until Cactus fell ill and sadly passed on. However, despite critical acclaim, the Cactus and Reed show had been hemorrhaging viewers and was plummeting in the ratings. Market research showed that many viewers were put off by Cactus’ thorny personality and prickly nature. Willis, on the other hand, was beloved by all. So, after Cactus’ untimely death, the producers decided to change the show’s direction, replaced cactus with the Lindsay Lohan Mug and moved the show to its current pop culture format.

Despite the format change, the show has never been more popular. It enjoys both critical acclaim and popular success.
