August 1997, the Michael Rappaport prank call


I taped some of the Talk Soup episodes in 1997, and theres this one where he shows a clip when Michael Rappaport is a guest on Conan O'Brien, and Michael is telling Conan how he used to prank call people when he was younger. At the end of the clip, John Henson says "why dont we give mr. rappaport a prank phone call, and see how he likes it. Should we say King Arthur in a can? , or is your refrigerator running?"

Then you hear an answering machine message of a so-called Michael Rappaport, rapping and beat bopping at the same time saying stuff like "you reach the home of michael rappaport",, and then you hear him sayin "so please leave a message when you hear the tone,,, and ill let you know when im coming home ,, yeaahh, im an actor,, and thats a factor",, lol. Then you see Henson taking the phone away from his ear with a look on his face saying "'that was lame", hehe

Apparently, Rappaport wasn't too happy with the bit. A friend of mine used to work for E! News and one time the network interviewed Rappaport. At the end, he had a message for Henson saying he wanted to kick his butt and he wasn't joking.
