Conversation between Ken Scalir and Ronald Reagan, January 1990

[Dan Druff]

This was a tough thing to get.

Ken called into "Larry King Live" in January 1990, when he was 19. President Reagan was the guest, and Ken wanted to ask him a challenging question regarding negative campaigning, but was afraid they wouldn't put such a question on with the aging former President.

Instead, Ken lied to the screener, gave them a softball question as to what he wanted to ask, and then asked the real question once he got on the air.

He managed to get Reagan to say "Well" twice during the call, which was the only time during the entire hour that Reagan uttered that trademark response.

Ken recorded it at the time, and had it on VHS tape. Later in the 1990s, someone mad at Ken took the tape and threw it out a car window, and that was that. For about 20 years, Ken has lamented losing that tape.

I could never find the episode on YouTube. They had one from a year later, but not this one.

Today I happened to be near the Reagan Library, so I went in there, got them to dig this up, and I recorded the part with Ken on my phone.




LOL "dastardly deeds"

The Alzheimers was showing pretty bad in that clip.

I would have asked him if rock Hudson was really gay, but good question nonetheless.

Rock was as queer as a $3 bill.

The Reagan library is close to where Druff admitted to losing his virginity, so this may not be far off.

props to both you and scalir, when you were on stern and him here on cnn with Larry & Ronny, you both sounded clear and not giggly or overexcited on the phone line when speaking with such esteemed people with such large audiences. not an easy task, esp. when you have to hold for a while and get iced as I'm sure happens in scenarios like this.

Also, just wondering, is there a link to this famous Howard Stern prank call?

What is Ken up to these days?

Bumming change off his friends, masturbating at Starbucks, rejecting girls he should be begging to fuck... the usual. Ken gonna Ken.

Larry the library/museum thing is in Cali. I would imagine there are a lot of things named after him in Chicago though.

So to catch everyone up, Reagan from the rural part of Illinois gets his library in California, and Obama from the Somalia part of Hawaii gets his in Illinois.

As far as I know.......

We have a stretch of I-80 (iirc) called The Ronald Reagan Memorial Highway.


I always loved the Bill Hicks riff about Reagan being the undead and not being able to kill him. and that his name was Ronald Wilson Reagen and that's 6 6 6

well, we all know Bill Hick's didn't die from cancer. He faked it, like Andy Kaufman, and he's actually Alex Jones now........

But it's still true. Reagan had cancer twice, and got shot, and didn't die.

More miraculous than all that he brought James Brady back to life.

The 6 6 6 thing we were talking about before the Reagan inauguration. Willie Horton was old news in 1990. Being blown away by news that is decades old?


You people think the world being round sounds revolutionary.

BTW, guess who originally came up with "Make America Great Again"?

Nice! thank you Crowe.

Daniel Carver was such a fuckin lunatic on that show. Howard always let him do whatever he wanted. The Roast of Daniel Carver is some fucking hilarious shit.
