PRANKSTER Bradley • Right, and their waiter's name was Heywood Yaplugme: A newspaper's Page Six reports spotting "Will Ferrell and a man identified as Gary Sanchez lunching at Cafe Gitane" yet fails to mention that "Gary Sanchez" is the name of Ferrell's production company.

I'm Morley Safer. I'm Shahib Shahab.'"He let the gag run for quite some time," Mr. Fager said. "Don was quite concerned."
