CALLER: Hi. Mega dittos, Rush. My question is real simple. Why Chatsworth Osborne, Jr.?<\/p>\nRUSH: Mark in a tractor-trailer somewhere in Massachusetts. It\u2019s great to have you here with us, sir. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hi. Mega dittos, Rush. My question is real simple. Why Chatsworth Osborne, Jr.?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, you mean why do I call Tucker Carlson sometimes Chatsworth Osborne, Jr.?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah. I call him that now. My wife says, “Stop that.” (laughing)<\/p>\n
RUSH: Do you know who Chatsworth Osborne, Jr. was?<\/p>\n
CALLER: No, I don\u2019t.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Do you ever remember watching a television show — how old are you?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Sixty. I didn\u2019t watch much TV, though.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay. Well, there was a very, very popular TV show in the 1960s called Dobie Gillis.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Okay. I never saw that. That\u2019s why.<\/p>\n
RUSH: It was a college kids\u2019 program. Dobie Gillis was a college student, and his buddies were college kids. It was kind of like a college kid version of Leave It To Beaver. And one of the characters was this uppity, elitist, snobbish, know-nothing character named Chatsworth Osborne, Jr. You know, who would name a kid Chatsworth? It\u2019s obviously somebody\u2019s last name. Chatsworth Osborne, Jr. So the kid was a preppie. And it\u2019s a very affectionate nickname that I have developed for Tucker Carlson. I haven\u2019t used it in a long time. But that is the source of it. You should YouTube Dobie Gillis and you\u2019ll see the character.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, I\u2019m gonna now when I get home. I should be able to make it home tonight.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
RUSH: You\u2019ll probably recognize the actor who portrays Chatsworth Osborne, Jr. But that show is now, the sixties, that show is close to 70 years old. And it was in black and white, and I don\u2019t remember who starred as Dobie Gillis, but that was the name of the show. And there were all kinds of great characters in it. And it was basically a bunch of smart-ass little college kids even back then. And it was just about their lives and how they interacted with the professors.<\/p>\n
I was nine or 10 years old when the show ran. I\u2019m not even sure my memory of it is accurate. But what you need to know is that it was an affectionate nickname. (interruption) Yeah, Dwayne Hickman. That\u2019s right. You\u2019ll recognize him. Dwayne Hickman was Dobie Gillis, the star of the show. You\u2019ll recognize Chatsworth Osborne, Jr. He\u2019s a character actor that\u2019s been in stuff for 60 years, 50 years at least. Anyway, I\u2019m glad you called out there, Mark. Now, that\u2019s a great Open Line Friday question. And, Mark, were you offended by that or were you worried that Chatsworth would be offended by it? (interruption) Okay, good. Good. ‘Cause there was no offense ever intended.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: No, no, no, no. I was not describing Tucker as a no-nothing elitist. It\u2019s a physical similarity, Chatsworth Osborne, Jr. And I named him that when Tucker was hosting Crossfire back on CNN.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
