Osg2 20110308 SHEEN

TOF, this is Dave Ross.

I confess I did a bad thing.  I eavesdropped on Charlie Sheen before he knew his mike was on.  And the shocking truth?   Well you’ll hear it in a moment.

(((SPOT)))

TAPE:

Tuesday’s Sheen’s Korner webcast was an oval office address in which Sheen declared war on his former bosses who fired him last week, for, among other things, not taking rehearsals seriously.

But 15 minutes before the web cast, the audio went live without Sheen knowing it.  And it was oh so faint, but you could clearly hear the Warlock doing something I didn’t think he needed:

TAPE:

He was rehearsing.  With a Teleprompter.

TAPE:…

And here’s how it came out on camera:

But what he seemed most concerned about was how to skewer his arch enemy, producer Chuck Lorre without sounding anti-Semitic.   
TAPE:
That’s how it finally came out … but it wasn’t improvised.  Before the webcast you could hear him choose the phrase “stage name” instead of “fake name.”
TAPE:…

And then he suddenly wonders whether the mike is on:

TAPE

Yes there was.  It’s amazing isn’t it that even behind the reality there is an even realer reality.
