Dylan! The Special
The New Yorker, July 17, 2000 P. 36
SHOUTS & MURMURS about a report that Bob Dylan is working on a variety show for ABC... Writer describes a game show called "What the Hell is Bob Dylan Saying?" The pretense is that he is unintelligible. Before this, Dylan plays a mailman; after this, he enters a group of young rabbinical aspirants, played by Ben Stiller, Jon Steward, and Jerry Seinfeld. The older rabbi played by Eli Wallach introduces Dylan as Mr. Silverstein, who has a pokemon water pistol stuck "up there." Dylan undermines the faith of the young, and waves good night.
