THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA
DID A STUDY THAT I WANT YOUR
TAKE ON.
THEY FOUND THAT BALD MEN ARE
PERCEIVED BY LADIES TO BE
ATTRACTIVE, CONFIDENT AND
DOMINANT AS COMPARED TO THEIR
FULL-HAIRED COUNTERPARTS.
>> WHAT A --
>> YEAH.
>> SO, FOR YOU ON -- IN THE
CENTRAL TIME ZONE.
>> I'M SORRY.
IT WAS SO STUPID.
YOU KNOW?
THAT I HAD TO SAY IT.
THE STUPIDITY HAD TO BE MET WITH
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY I CAN DEAL
WITH IT.
AS A BALD MAN, OKAY.
THERE'S NOT A WORD OF TRUTH TO
ANY OF THAT.
REPEAT IT.
JUST REPEAT IT.
I WANT TO HEAR IT ONE MORE TIME.
>> A STUDY FOUND THAT WOMEN
PERCEIVE BALD MEN TO BE MORE
ATTRACTIVE, CONFIDENT AND
DOMINANT AS COMPARED TO THEIR
FULL-HAIRED COUNTERPARTS.
>> DON'T SAY IT AGAIN.
>> I'M NOT GOING TO SAY IT
AGAIN.
>> WAS IT BLEEPED?
>> FOR THE CENTRAL AND WEST
COAST TIME ZONES, YOU WILL JUST
HEAR A FUNNY LITTLE NOISE THERE.
FOR YOU ON THE EAST COAST, WE'RE
SORRY.
>> I APOLOGIZE.
YEAH.
THERE'S NO -- IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
HOW CAN THAT BE?
NO.
>> I WANTED YOUR TAKE.
>> BUT I DID -- I HAVE HEARD
THAT WE DO HAVE MORE
TESTOSTERONE.
>> VIRILITY.
>> YES.
>> SO, THERE YOU GO.
SO, MAYBE.
>> LAST TIME WE SAT DOWN --
>> I'M AN ANIMAL, SEXUALLY.
AN ANIMAL.
AT 70.
I'LL GO AGAINST A GUY WITH HAIR
IN BED ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.
>> HOW DID A FORMER BRA SALESMAN
GET TO BE THIS WAY?
HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?
A FORMER BRA SALESMAN FROM
BROOKLYN GET TO BE THIS GUY THAT
WE ALL LOVE IN THIS STUDIO?
>> I'M BEWILDERED BY IT.
BELIEVE ME.
YES.
>> WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE YOU BACK
HERE.
BY THE WAY, LAST TIME YOU WERE
IN OUR STUDIO, WAS TO BE A
PRODUCER, AND ACTUALLY YOU DID
THE JERRY SEINFELD PUFFY SHIRT
SCENE WITH BRYANT GUMBEL,
YELLING OUT LINES.
SO, WELCOME BACK.
>> BY THE WAY, I DON'T LIKE THE
STOOLS.
IF I MAY SAY.
I DON'T LIKE THE STOOL THING.
WE HAVE TO WATCH WHERE WE'RE
CROSSING OUR LEGS, OKAY?
AND IT'S NOT -- WHY AM I SITTING
ON A BARSTOOL?
>> OKAY.
I'LL GET YOU -- GET UP, TAKE
YOUR PLACE OVER THERE WITH THE
GANG.

BREAK.
