Spike Feresten: (about the rumor that he threw a huge party to find a girlfriend) That is true! It was at the beginning of the last season of Seinfeld, and I had just broken up with someone maybe three or four months earlier. And I thought, "why don't I round up a new crop"? So me and my writer friends threw a gigantic party at the rotating restaurant atop a Holiday Inn, invited "Buckwheat Zydeco" to come play and it was an open door policy. We tacked pieces of paper to telephone poles and said, "Come on in." And I just happened to meet not only my girlfriend -- but my wife. I married the girl I met that night.
Spike: (Speaking about his show in its first season) FOX is really just letting us experiment, and they're being really good about it, and they're saying, "Go ahead and get out there and learn how to do the show, and figure out what the job is and what the show is."
Spike Feresten: (On his upcoming Talk show with Spike Feresten) It's all the comedy you'd find in a talkshow, but without any of the talk. We've got a little real estate on Saturday night, and we want to have some fun.
Spike Feresten: (About being compared to Conan O' Brien as a brand new talk-show host) Conan, at least, was the guy we knew who was going to replace Letterman. ... And me, I mean, I'm coming out of nowhere.
Spike Feresten: There is a place for me. (This was said by Spike after getting kicked out of his college dormatory for throwing light bulbs out the eighth-story window, then seeing a similar stunt being performed on the David Letterman show)
In an effort to find a new girlfriend, Spike once threw a huge party, renting the top floor of the Hollywood Holiday Inn and hiring the band Buckwheat Zydeco.
