Early in the second season of "Twin Peaks," Simon & Schuster Audio released "Diane ... The Twin Peaks Tapes of Agent Cooper," a cassette-only release that Kyle MacLachlan also performed. The tape consists of newly recorded messages from Cooper to his (then) never-seen assistant, Diane, mixed in with monologues from the original broadcasts. The tape begins with a prologue monologue in which Cooper discusses his pending trip to Twin Peaks, continues with the initial monologue heard in the pilot, and continues to a point after his recovery from being shot. For his work on this release, MacLachlan was nominated for a Grammy Award for best spoken-word performance.
