  • Great story!

  • epic :D

    

  • you were high.

    and you tried to make the cops come to you?

    5 stars buddy. 5 stars.

  • Best version of the story by far.. soooo funny.. Likeable guy that Jay Thomans..

  • I didn't have anything against this guy until he attacked Boogie, what a fucking ridiculous douche this retard is.

  • I just had a thought while watching this...they should do a reenactment of this story.

  • Yes... if it's true, it's the best.

  • I can see the bad guy going"here's a thousand dollars to forget it" after The Lone Ranger got out of the car LOL this has to be the Ultimate" I am Screwed" in history

  • justice is served!!!

  • Jay Thomas relates the tale of how he and his friend Mike got "herbed up" and drove the Lone Ranger to his motel. Imagine that - "Eddie LaBecque" got stoned! Probably how he got killed by the Zamboni; fell on the ice while he was fried and the Zamboni ran him over. (Jay played Carla's pro hockey-player husband Eddie on "Cheers", for the uninitiated. In the storyline, his character was killed by a Zamboni machine on the ice at the Boston Garden.)

  • Google Hells best kept secret

  • The views count tells the story. This is one of the greatest true life anecdotes ever told.

  • I always look forward to this and Darlene Love during Christmas!

  • This years telling (2010) was the best version so far.

  • 90 people don't know who the Lone Ranger is.

  • BEAUTIFUL!!

  • Geez, good true story. Never expect that to ever happen. Did the Lone Ranger give the guy autographs. I met the Lone Ranger and he was one of the nicest guys you could ever meet.  He, truly, was a hero kids could look upto.

  • I had the honor of meeting Clayton Moore when i was a kid in Jacksonville,Fla.It was during the time that the movie studio was suing him not to wear the lone ranger suit anymore cuz they were making a new movie(DUMBASSES).He was everything a boy could hope he would be.He was gracious,funny and kind.I told him just what i thot of the studio.He got a big kick out of someone from my generation knowing who he was.I said"Are you kidding?you ARE the LONE RANGER".....true story. 1979

  • OMG, I so love it

  • I look forward to this every year at Xmas time. I hope Dave continues to have Jay on every year to tell this story. Basically the same story, but it does get better every year. I've watched every single year.

  • -Hahaaaaaaaa! -wonderfully related story of a unique youthful-hero event into real-life; --a truly refreshing revelation after all the never ending totally BS anti-German HoloHoax-fables so often spewed-out by jew-bigots on TV/Radio/Internet. The righteous climax of his conflict with rude Buick-driver, upon emergence of LoneRanger from the ramshackled Volvo- "They'll Believe Me, -Citizen" --What'th "Oh, I Didn't Know it was You" --as if he was under arrest by everyone's Hero! -terrific thankx.

  • @AryanKnight Oh you believe this but not the holocaust? Why because your lot failed to kill everyone?

  • One of the funniest storiesa ive ever heard.thanks Jay.

  • Classic !

  • I look forward to Jay coming on every year to tell this story, Hillarious!

  • I never get tired of this story!

  • One of the best stories i have ever heard!!!!

  • Great story!

  • That is a classic :-)

  • There goes 3:38 of my life.

  • THIS is a great story..pussy

  • @TheIMC8 I didnt mean to hurt your feelings... Sorry.

  • "We would get herbed up!"

  • CLASSIC.

  • Last Christmas we showed this to our parents and grandparents who had never heard this story and it was the biggest laugh we had together all night. GoodTimes,GoodTimes

  • "The REAL Lone Ranger" - Jay Thomas got it right on the nose! Clayton Moore will always been the real Lone Ranger! - & he proved it that night!

  • This just totally made my day! if you have a few minutes, watch it!  Hilarious!!

  • LOL

  • This is one of the most wonderful stories Ive ever heard. One reason it appeals to me is that it spans the gap between my childhood and adult years. I sent link to it to my father but Ive reached the age now where if I tell younger people a story like this sometimes they just look at me blankly. So I have to pick and choose which story I tell to which people. For example, I drive a taxi in San Francisco and a while back I was taking two unusually beautiful twenty year (see next post)

  • I make a point of watching Jay Thomas' appearance every year that he tells this story. This is FUNNY!

  • he he does da voice for the mouth on the twizzlers commercial :)

  • Great Story about the Lone Ranger - one of the real class acts on TV and off.

  • I cannot stand JAY THOMAS nothing but a smart ass just like LETTERMAN.

  • Great story

  • Epic Win!

  • re: davetileguy: You couldn't be more wrong. Jay is absolutely right about the "tea baggers".

  • Jay says "tea partiers" should be rounded up and put away,they are violent,turn off jay thomas

  • I KNEW there was a reason I liked Jay Thomas!

  • you're an idiot, jay says tea BAGGERS are ball suckers

  • @davetileguy he's right...a lot of them are, but certainly not all of them...tea partiers are just as bad as liberals, IMHO.  Democrats and Republicans both suck. Our two-party system NEEDS to be crumpled up and reworked.

  • I remember Jay and the birthday parties....it was a lot ot fun....Jay use to run around with larry sprinkle (the weather guy that is now on tv) at big ways in charlotte. I won a radio contest one time and won a bunch of albums and jay and larry were the ones that gave me the records....Fun time!!! Joe Higg

  • @theirisroom I was on WPDQ radio opposite JAY when he was at WAPE the big ape in Jacksonville. He spent most of his time on the phone RAGGING me on our reqjuest line and our news line. Telling me once" Pretty soon I'll have your format and then I'll have your ASS you BLACK SOB" "AND" I'm not even BLACK. How he did his show and called me over and over every night is really goofy. JUST LIKE LETTERMAN a real SMARTASS. I moved on to WRKT in Cocoa Bch. but I remember what a jerk he was.

  • @theirisroom I live in Oakdale where Radio Rd. is located. You're right....those were good times....Jay ruled the airwaves for a good while.

  • This is the "best"! Thanks for Sharing.

  • Dave's absolute Favorite Show Bidness Story of All Time.

  • Big OOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL FUNKY Ways! ..on AM Radio to boot!

  • FUNKY "NIGHTIME" WAYS

  • i felt he rushed it a little bit. he told the story better few days ago again in letterman.btw. i've never seen an episode of lone ranger, but it didn't hurt the story for me, since, the name is so ridicilous;)

  • The Lone Ranger was the only survivor of a group of Texas Rangers who where killed in an outlaw ambush, nursed back to health by a friendly indian called Tonto who became his side kick.

  • Comment removed

  • Haha det er så genialt! Classic...

  • "They'll believe ME, Citizen!" LOL!!!!!

  • @Eyegore560 he's a no talant actor with only one fake story to tell everytime he's a guest this is the only story he's a tellin can'tstandem.

  • @Eyegore560 Spoiler-- tch

  • Don't you hate it when you realize you've posted to the wrong thread?

  • Does anyone have a copy of last night's (12-23-09) edition of the Lone Ranger story to post? Jay mentioned my uncle's name and showed his picture. (Pickle Moore) I would be eternally grateful!

  • That was before the Lone Ranger's career went to the dump, to the dump, to the dump dump dump...

  • I hope Silver was house-broken.

  • You really must be drunk or incredibly stupid to make these analogies. Unbelievable. I'm surprised you can even write.

  • Letterman was NOT MARRIED at the time. Letterman dated single women who dated him back. BFD. Get a life.

  • What?! What does that mean? I suppose there's some progress in throwing the whore epithet at a guy, equal rights and all that but I fail to catch the reference.

  • What?! Do people really talk like this? Man whore? I suppose that's progress but geez.

  • "Man whore?!" You are off your trolley if that's what you think.

  • "Lone Ranger in back seat....I'm chasing the car....Lone Ranger's emotionless...emotionless" ROFLMAO.. one of my fave clips. I saw him on show this night. hilaaaarious.

  • You're nuts.

  • great story made me smile  i guess thats the point letterman claayton moore was well into being the lone ranger

  • willow´s brother!!!!!

  • jay rules on sirius

  • awesome story.

  • .....always knew the Lone Ranger was cool...

  • Jesus friggin' Christ...your grammar is atrocious.

  • You know the only thing that can improve this story?

    Listening to it while I'm sitting in the cutting garden with a fine Dominican cigar and a couple of cocktails in me, you know.

  • God that's funny...

  • herbed up lol

  • I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS YOU, RANGER!!!

  • he was driving a vulva.......lol

  • lol

  • damn fine story !

  • great story..

  • He pronounces Volvo like its a female body part.

  • Funniest thing I have seen in awhile.

  • It's the best story.

  • The way he tells the story is what makes it even funnier. Great story!

  • Nothing like a good stoner story =D Jay just kicks ass.

  • he told the story better on dave years before.

  • Jay Thomas is the best.

  • Lone Ranger and The Cisco Kid.

    Watched them every Saturday as a kid.

  • this is my xmas tradition, listening to this

  • mine too. It's how I know that Xmas is finally here

  • I heard that Clayton moore went to court and had his lone ranger image copywrited or something.Has anyone heard anything about this?

  • What actually happened was that the owner of the Lone Ranger character (who was making a new movie version with a new actor) sued Clayton Moore to stop him from appearing in costume in public. Clayton Moore counter-sued to allow him to use the costume and won. His win actually allows others to appear as Lone Ranger in public too and is the law that allows costumed characters like Spiderman to appear in front of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood.

  • The Lone Ranger was the best. Even cooler than Batman.

  • I saw the Lone Ranger in the 1960's at Kennywood Park in Pittsburgh, He gave me a black mask and a silver bullet.

  • Oh my God I'm crying XD Ahh - the Lone Ranger and Captain Crunch - the only two men who could soothe my perpetual crankiness at having to get up at f-ing 6 o'clock every morning for school.

  • They'll believe me citizen!

  • shit, i'm 23, and getting up to watch the lone ranger on tv early sunday mornings with my dad were like the greatest memories!

  • One of te greatest stories told

  • lol so funny. they should do a film on it.

  • ahahaha XD

  • F-ING HILARIOUS!!!

  • Ya,that was a great story,without a doubt!!!

  • what a great fucking story

  • I wish I had a lone ranger riding in the back seat of *my* car..

    That was an awesome story.

  • Brilliant!

  • now thats how a story should be told

  • That's great!! Jay Thomas is funny funny. I have heard him tell this story on his Sirius radio show and it still makes me laugh.

  • THEY'LL BELIEVE ME, CITIZEN!

  • This is the funniest story i have EVER heard !!!

    John Hunter Phillips

  • who *is* that masked man?

  • yeah...right...whatever they said...yea, thjis makes me want to jack off n rub it in my hair!!!

  • I watched the greatest American Hero yesterday,The lone ranger was on it.

    BTW >Drugs are for losers

  • Great story! I love the lone ranger and herb too!

  • Fantastic. I peed my pants.

  • this is a great story!! imagine the lone ranger in your back seat in uniform.

  • Wished you could've listened to this guy on the air(WAYS,Big Ways) in Charlotte.Very,very funny!

  • hilarious.

  • love how he actually said " citizen " hilarious

  • amazing

  • Posse, Tonto - I said posse.

  • My Hometown!!!! I know exactly where morehead is, and how impossible it is to drive on Independence Blvd. during 5oclock traffic, let alone while your baked, there are cops all over that road...too funny!!!

  • MADD (for one) would definitely disagree with most of the comments here. This is a prime example of how celebrities have always considered themselves above the law. The saddest part is that people actually think driving while "herbed up" (whether on alcohol, marijuana, whatever = *judgment impaired*) is comical.

  • So there's a MADD against smoking pot and driving now? Its not the same as drunk driving, and he said " i could barely see the road" as a joke to the audience.

  • Oh, really? What's the big difference? Last I knew, marijuana (hashish, whatever) is still an ILLEGAL drug -- and with good reason. Like alcohol, it gives one a false sense of well-being, a euphoric feeling of invincibility and lowers reaction times. If you sincerely think one can drive safely and defensively while *stoned* on weed, then you must be one of the "party-hearty" crowd yourself. Just don't take any innocent bystanders with you when you get sentenced for *pharmakeia*

  • Oh relax, this is just a story and people are laughing. I don't condone getting high nor drunk, and would assume, neither is Jay Thomas. Relax and enjoy life!

  • umm i drive high and take my tests high in school and ive got a 3.8 soooooo i say fuck you im just as functional as you and have more fun

    weed is for winners

    pain killers barbiturates and opiates are all man made trash stick to herb

  • oh man...hilarious.

  • That is a great Lone Ranger story.

  • I would of loved to seen the look on that guys face when the lone ranger got out of the car, LOL.

  • Ay You vatos locos and all you people if you have Sirius radio or XM radio you can listen to the Jay Thomas show..Its for reals Trippy dude...So check it out ay ...Him and All his gang...

  • best christmas letterman ever, great story!

  • Sorry, Obi! Didn't mean to bring out the gorilla. I just take my complaints to the source. To each our own, huh? As for "You Tubing!" Yeah, we both do this the same way. No hard feelings, and again, my apologize for bringing out some strange responses out of the woodwork. LOL

  • This just gets better each year I hear it!! I really great story!!

  • why do you cancel good shows and keep crap like letterman - you're as bad as fox.

  • Just heard the 2008 version, and am sending it to someone, who will love it. I wish the Buick driver would 'fess up on here. LOL

    Am a bit confused though - if you don't like a show, why would you take the time to find the clip on here? If I don't like a show, I don't watch it.

  • I was going to whatever You tube threads struck my curiosity.

  • So you'd rather watch Leno? That's some sophisticated
