Wolf Danny With "Random""The work must be tantamount to mayhem. Making an insatiable public confused, indifferent, annoyed—this is the premise on which rests my deliberately vacuous oeuvre."

'It's one of Larry King's earliest shows.'

'Going...Going...Gone! Sold to the lady with more money than sense.'
