Rating (below) in millions of homes. Dwas sitting in the studio at Z'-l07, watching Wayne Newton sign autographs and pose for pictures and talk about his new record, his old records, people he likes (Andrew Dice Clay) and people he doesnt like (Johnny Carson), when it struck me. Wayne Newton should run for president. He had been talking about performers who try to make political statements with their art, performers who use profanity and make rude comments from the stage, performers who bum flags.

I dont go fpr that kind of thing, Wayne said. dpnt disagree with peoples taste. They haVa right. But I think people dont want to be challenged. People dont want to be challenged.

Wayne has hit on the theme for tne campaign. Hey, it worked for Reagan. Wayne would be a natural as a He has name recognition. Everybody knows who Wayne is. If a television sitcom wants a cheap laugh, the writers just have a character utter, Wayne Newton and the laugh track goes off the meter.

Hes played him-selfon TV. He does a goodjob playing himself. Whenever George Bush plays himself on TV, it comes off pounding like Dana (Zarvey from Saturday Night Live. With Wayne, its Wayne. The only problem is Wayne now says he wont play himself anymore.

I really dont think Johnny Carson has contributed anything to mankind, he says.

(For the record, Wayne is not gay. Hes dated Vanna White. Now theres a perfect couple.) Hes a genuinely nice person. (OK, one strike against him.) That last thing is perhaps the most surprising thing about Wayne Newton. I went to meet Wayne expecting him to be the Godzilla of lounge lizards, some kind of greasy, smarmy, Vegas creature.

I went to meet Wayne Newton expecting to meet Wayne Newton the pop icon, the living legend. Wayne Newton has madequite a livings as a pop icon. Like Zsa Zsa Gabor, hes famous for being famous, but unlike Zsa Zsa, hes never punched out a cop.
