our first guest is an academy award-winning
actress she stars in her own brand new television program on a another network
of course another network but you can see it October 10th here's the lovely the
leggy Gina Davis look terrific as always you look wonderful thank you I think the uh
I saw you on television uh when you were on the Emmy Awards show and boy you had this
dress on well you remember the dress you had on or a dress you almost had on and and
the thing was uh uh transparent you can see right through it Dave I'm I'm shocked that you
bring that up shocked I can't believe it you know you know what it was I'll I'll tell you Dave
that what it was is the night I've never been to the Emmys before I find that hard to believe I
never had I uh no no you've been to before not to the emms no Oscars I know well you an Academy
Award winner for God's sakes oh please but uh the thing was I I was a little nervous about
going and had a nightmare the night before that I went out on stage uh in my underwear mhm and
I just wanted to make sure that that did not happen you mind if I show this no by all means no
I'm right you can see right through this I mean it's lovely and you are certainly look lovely
in in the dress but boy oh boy now is that is that an expensive item um yeah now do you own
it or you just bought it from the evening and then to took it back or you probably can't
take these you know I tried to do that and they seen that I wore but did everybody went
crazy did people go nuts about this you get a lot of calls about that dress yeah yeah
I did I did you know what I I I learned um that actually I was the victim of a plot
are you you might be shocked to here but it's another Insidious plot I know you've
been following the campaign and everything but and a big supporter of of Gore of course
and um that was actually uh a subliminal ad for Bush it was a horrible those Republicans what
will they not do I'm I'm a victim sublimable Mo it was a sublimable
would it have killed you wear it tonight huh well enough about that I'm
nothing about that you must have been watching the Olympics because I don't know
if people understand this about you but a couple of two and a half years ago you started to
competitively taking up a Bow and Arrow Archery three and a half yeah three and a half and and
you're ranked like 13th in the in the United States or something had a shot at getting on the
United States archery team well yeah I made it to the uh to the trials last did did the whole thing
begin just as kind of like a fun thing as a hobby is kind of a Goofer where you one day you woke
up and you said this is it by God now I'm now I'm going someplace yeah I I was thinking what
can I do with my life what can I still take up at my age and get in the Olympics and uh Archer
yeah so and now and people must say to you gez it's too bad you were on the Olympic te but but
I'm guessing you you think well no it's not too bad but I mean I'm I'm having plenty of fun
anyway no they do that that's pretty hilarious that a lot of people recently have said you must
be really disappointed that you're not there but at you know at the time that I tried out I'd been
doing it just a little over two years and I think the chances of making the team were pretty
uh pretty slow haven't been doing this since you were three years old not a dedicated young
Olympian exactly right right it would have been fine but it just didn't yeah now now how what
events are there it's it's this one I know this one what other one do you do you have there's
not much else you do with with a bow and arrow uh is it is it is it mostly targets yeah they
don't they don't hunt in the Olympics they they don't turn a couple of guys loose
all right let him go wow that would be something what pound what pound bow do you use
what's what's the tension on that thing 36 36 now that's a lot isn't it well it's it's pretty
average but you know over the course of a day that's a lot and do they have these amazing
new laser sight devices that no it's not comp all any and I know I've done it just fooling
around when I was a kid and you let it go and you always get your uh you get it hurts like H it just
goes I mean the string whacks across very pain you have protective equipment I'll bet for that of
course of course what what is round like when it when it's time to go what do you do uh well uh
you know what was interesting was that exactly a year ago in Sydney they had test trials for all
their facilities there and they invited all the uh Olympians and me um to I'm not sure why to go
down there and have a mock Olympics and so I went and it was so much fun it was really really fun
hang on right there I have to interrupt you we'll do some things here and then we'll come back
but I want to I hear all about take us through what a what an Olympic Archer does all right all
right now I want to hear more about the Olympic competition or or or archery competition yeah yeah
I like your idea by the way about the drugs um and the Olympics because you know what a couple
of beers and a arrow shooting it really goes more exciting and and you can just forget about
drug Tes which is really the problem save a lot of money on drug testing you know everybody's
under the influence so is there several rounds is are there special shoes do you have to use tal
what what what very special stuff you have to use yeah no uh first you have an A ranking round you
shoot all day and figure out where that's what you shoot at what how many arrows do you shoot 70 M
um 144 arrows at 70 M how many feet is 70 meters that that's like a it's like three quars of a
football field wow that's amazing and the and the Bullseye is about that big that's incredible
and and and the idea of course is to get is a consistency in in closest to the center and and is
it possible for all of your arrows you can't hit all Bulls I know do do you have your own quiver
do you use a quiver yeah but not in the back like on the hip you have a guy oh on your on your hip
do I have a guy that has Miss Davis Arrow I'm the only one it's a little embarrassing yeah but and
and I'm told now and I know very little about U everything but I'm told that that uh women uh can
be very they're actually better suited for this kind of thing than men because of their metabolism
and their heartbeat and their blood pressure and so forth and the idea is you you shoot between the
beat of your heart is that correct I do yeah yeah it's a very Advanced skill I just I just wait Beat
and then I shoot now you're just mocking me now no no but do do women tend to be a little
steadier at and accurate than men in this sport I don't know I thought I heard some in the
in the readers dig I wrot an article uh and it must it must have been exciting for yeah yeah
it was really fun yeah so what they did was once you're ranked you got paired up with somebody that
you had to have a one-on-one competition and uh what they did was you you marched into the the uh
sort of arena there and they played like Fan Fair stuff and I really was like I'm at the Olympics
I was really I was really into the fantasy um but unfortunately I was matching up with uh the um
second ranked woman in the world um wow so she took me out yeah she took me down hard now are you
going to continue this competitively is there a chance that you might qualify for the Olympic team
next time we do it well uh there's certainly a chance that I could um go to the trials again I'm
going to keep practicing yeah and and how often do you do it like at your house you have a thing at
your house I have it actually at the studio they put up Target um outside the stage really yeah
yeah so tour group groups coming by yeah yeah that's unbelievable that's unbelievable I I admire
this a lot of people aren't into archery sometimes have to flag the bus down and say hey what watch
but um but uh it's not as popular as it used to be yeah not as big as it was in the 1600s uh
let's talk about the uh the new show this is just great for you congratulations did did you
always want a TV show well you know I did some TV back in the early um ' 80s but it's it's been
quite a while but uh is it harder than making the fature films or not it's it it's hard it it's
moved so fast as you well know and uh that's very different I mean in movies you just have to
memorize a tiny little bit every day but um in the show it's really challenging when I was when
I starting out in TV I did a bunch of cheesy shows like um Night Rider and uh Fantasy Island and
yeah and uh I didn't mean to say cheesy no you did say cheesy but I know what but you didn't
any did you remember a show called Rip Tide it was like on a boat yeah I think so I was like
a nymphomaniac oceanographer on on one episode wow You'll you'll be finding that I'm
sharing your AR well why can't we have a show like that what what's the problem
there what wrong with that um and you had to ride on a boat for hours to get out
to the set it was just a nightmare and all the guys had their lines like in
their coffee cups and I was like how unprofessional you know so but now you I'm
I got them taped to the kids's foreheads I'm just and it's because there's just so
much the have to do it just bang bang bang then knock the shows yeah
yeah uh we have a big party for opening night I thought you were
gonna say did you have a big part uh um uh uh yeah yeah big party yeah funny it was
a Gina Davis show she just going to walk through one scene and was that Gina Davis right I mean
star of the show yeah I think that was her yeah uh well I hope it's a huge success and and and
it's a set is it true it's set in New York City set in New York so that means you probably film it
here in New York City alas no no in La why don't you move it you could move it then you'd be on the
show all the time yeah yeah that' be fun wouldn't it all right uh October 10th what time on October
