I watched House last night and thanks to the repository of useless info and movie trivia my brain made an odd connection...

Last night's episode centered on a reporter named Fletcher (and was referred to as Fletch by his editor) who was struck down with an ephasia that caused him to speak gibberish and lose his ability to write out his thoughts. The reporter was played by Michael O'Keefe (who played Danny Noonan in the very awesome movie Caddyshack). In the movie, he starred alongside Chevy Chase (in the role of Ty Webb), who also played the lead in another movie - Fletch! What was the movie about? A reporter!

Is it just me, or is it sad that my head pulled that one out in a manner of seconds once the character details were revealed? Well, maybe not sad... How about just crazy?!

As soon as you said Fletcher and reporter- my mind went straight to a character on the old soap- Guiding Light, Fletcher Reed, who was a reporter.

Weird how things connect...

See, I never watched soaps in my entire life... There is no way I could make that connection!

My tivo didn't record it. *pout*
Now I can't see it until Friday when I go to my sisters to watch it. She's been ordered not to delete it!

Well, I think some of it was make-up... After all, he was playing someone who was sick. ;)

Although I must say, he blimped up quite a bit from those scrawny days as a caddy. Maybe he needs to hit the links again!

I didn't realize the Caddyshack connection.. but as soon as they said his name was Fletch, all I could htink about was Chevy Chase...
