So Who Was That Lady?
By Mike Sadowski | Published: February 14, 2011 | 0 Comments
As much as I try, I can’t watch everything. Oh, how I try.

But luckily, I have my trusty readers to back me up and the good ol’ Internet to prove them right. So special thanks go out to one East Stroudsburg reader (not sure if he wants me throwing out his name, but thanks!) who gave me the heads up about a special guest at the Late Show with David Letterman on Thursday. Wait, it’s actually a special mystery guest, because we don’t know her name, so we need even more help from the readers:


The woman on the right unwittingly gave the Poconos a big shout out on Thursday. But ... who is she?
Does anyone know this woman on the right???

Anyway, here’s what went down. Apparently before the show, Letterman was chatting up some of the audience members and found our mystery Poconos woman in the audience who was depressed about the state of the region for whatever reason. So he said he had two goals on the show around the 10:50 mark of the show video, which won’t let me embed (boooooooo CBS). He wanted to entertain America and “We have to help this woman from the Poconos.”

This led to a disucussion about the Poconos, with the typical New York City stereotypes — Beautiful Mount Airy Lodge, heart-shaped tubs, romance and the like. Letterman kept on it trying to make this woman feel better about living in the Poconos, and his quick-thinking staff even added it to the top 10 list of the night, “Hozni Murbarak Future Plans.” Around the 15:35 mark, the #9 plan is “Look for a place in the Poconos,” which then led to a shot of our mystery woman … again.


I'm pretty sure I don't get paid enough to listen to 12 minutes of snooki talking
But wait, there’s more! This is the one that took a lot of work because I actually had to watch the interview with Snooki. I would have rather sift through a half-hour interview with Bernie Madoff looking for a Poconos mention than keeping all the sharp objects away from me while trying to listen to the truly vapid Snooki talk about slippers, her arrest record, Italy and vibrators. How anyone can find anything she says even remotely interesting is completely beyond me. But good for her for somehow carving out a career from being annoying and ugly. Anyhoo, Letterman joked at the 22:40 mark of the video that she should get a place in the Poconos and she said, “I love the Poconos.” Who knows if she was kidding, if she’s ever been here or could even point out Pennsylvania on the map if you gave her 49 guesses. But let’s just say that’s not showing up on the next Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau brochure: “Come to the Poconos! Snooki-approved!”  or “Snooki loves it, you can too!” Get working on that over there!

Anyway, I’d love to try and find that woman, who even though I’ve never talked to her, already is infinitely more interesting than anything Snooki would ever say. So I’m putting out the call — anyone who knows this woman who got some unexpected face time on Letterman last Thursday, get in touch with me so I can give her some local mention. Thanks everyone!

Stroud woman pops up in all the right places

Random celebrity meetings seem like they should be unusual, but to Cristina Correll, it's actually common.

In Las Vegas, she was picked to be onstage at a Penn and Teller show.

Sting sat behind her at a concert in Boston.

And last year around this time, she made conversation with David Letterman and ended up being the running gag of an entire "Late Show with David Letterman" episode, getting plenty of on-screen time in the process.

Now Correll, a 42-year-old Stroud Township resident, is headed back to see "The Late Show" again today, hoping lightning will strike twice.

She said she's been to see about a dozen live talk shows and thinks she has some tricks on how to get noticed. She also was shown in the audience at a taping of "The Dr. Oz Show" recently.

"It was very unexpected," Correll said of her sudden time on camera at the show. "The whole time to hear Dave keep coming back to that joke, and to keep getting on camera, it was crazy."

She admits she got randomly lucky by scoring a front-row seat for the Letterman taping just because of where she was in line.

And when Letterman came out for the warm-up session before the taping, he keyed on Correll and a simple question from Dave led to a show-long joke. And each time Letterman mentioned it, the camera showed Correll.

"He asked me where I was from," Correll said. "And I said, 'The Poconos.' And I didn't realize it, but I must have said it negatively. And off it went."

Letterman used Correll and her life in the Poconos as a running gag for the entire show. He even engaged the night's main guest, Snooki from "Jersey Shore," in some Poconos talk.

Snooki also managed to help get Correll another reference on the show, even though only the in-studio audience was in on it. Studio audience members are supposed to think up a question in case Letterman spoke with them during the pre-show warm-up.

Correll's question? "What would be your nickname if you were on 'Jersey Shore'?"

"I would never be on 'Jersey Shore,' " Letterman said, according to Correll. "I'd rather eat glass."

A few minutes later when Letterman started his monologue, he was faking like he was picking his teeth and then announced, "You'll have to excuse me, I was just picking glass out of my teeth."

Cristina Correll of Stroud Township, seen here on Monday, February 6, 2012, Correll has been in the studio audience of various talk and late nite shows.


....and she was on Letterman again last night.....
