   OH MY GAWD, you heard it here first folk

   JOHN TESH

   CONNAN O’BRIAN

   Texas Death match wrestling… Get you tickets today!

   That wasn’t John Tesh that was Eric Verlo with a haircut… can’t fool me.

   TESH = VERLO. I thought the same thing while I was filming the interview! I’m glad you mentioned it first, Tom, because I thought I might be crazy. Actually, we’re probably both crazy….

   By the way, Jade Daniels, the first interview, was one of the finalists, she won an ipod nano, I don’t know if she’ll be appearing with the Tesh on the PBS special…

   This whole thing was bizarre. I had no idea what was going on the entire time.

   “Gospel Piano Dance”? PBS is doing a show called Gospel Piano Dance?

   O, to have been at the meeting where consensus was reached on that one

   I’ve always entertained this fantasy that Tesh and Yanni were mortal enemies, but Wikipedia says otherwise: “John Tesh always knew he wanted to pursue a music career. In 1987, Yanni was putting together his first touring band to promote his album Out of Silence, as well as selections from Keys to Imagination. Being good friends, Tesh asked Yanni if he could join the band as keyboardist along with Joyce Imbesi and drummer Charlie Adams, as he’d never been onstage for a live performance and needed the experience. Despite already having a full time job with Entertainment Tonight, and the long hours of rehearsal for the band, he did very well, although he did only one tour with Yanni, about 12 shows, before being replaced by Bradley Joseph. Later, Yanni helped Tesh get his first recording contract with Private Music.” You can’t make up this stuff!

   A couple differences between Tesh and Verlo:

   1. Tesh doesn´t sport an uber mullet.

   2. Tesh has muscles.

   3. Verlo would never be caught dead in a Nike baseball cap.
