Not Quite A Dog's Life

In addition to the quip by Leo Laporte on TechTv's The Screensavers, I posted below, he's just put his foot in it BIG TIME with the females on the show.

He was chatting to Megan on the show. She was in the "babe corale" (as he's previously called it).

He then sees something on the monitor behind Megan and says,

Leo: Who's that dog behind you?
Megan: What?
Leo: That dog, over your right shoulder.

Given that Morgan was sat behind her, just over her right shoulder, this didn't go down well.

Leo swore that there was a dog behind Megan, but failed to explain that he meant, on one of the monitors behind her. Morgan wasn't impressed. She stormed over, and threw the script on the floor, looming (she's tall) over Leo.

Then they went to break, and I started writing this.

After the break, Leo says how he's very sorry for upsetting Morgan,

Leo: "...and this is the dog I was talking about."

At which point, someone in the production booth, pressed the wrong button, and Morgan appeared on screen.

This left Leo, holding his head in his hands, in embarrassment and saying how there really was a dog there, honest guv.

They then took a live call, featuring a guy who had his dog on the webcam (this was the dog that Leo had seen). At the end of the call, there was a dog bark...

Leo: Was that Sissy (the caller's dog)? Or was it Morgan?
Patrick: (dumbstruck ... walks away in embarrassment)

Cut to:

Megan: Nice out Leo.

Leo then spent the rest of the show, apologising profusely, and being abused by the women on the show.
