Hi. There was a big accident, some people got decapitated, here are their names... You know what? That shirt really makes you look fat. I mean, the colour's all wrong... I mean, who shot the drapes?
book school people
I was a bookworm. Every week I'd go to the library and get seven books. Remember libraries? I wonder if people still go. And I learned about everything from the library. I came from a Scottish family. Old school.

When I think about it, I mean really, I'm 47, I should be embarrassed by this. A grown man, barefoot, walking on mousetraps, just to get an audience to laugh. It's sad in a way.
canadian ended evening gain garland great judy lose prosthetic shape
Judy Garland would gain and lose a lot of weight, and because of that, she ended up having no derriere, so she had to have a prosthetic one to give her shape in some of her evening gowns. Because we're working on a Canadian show and they're very cheap, they wanted to take my wife's prosthetic (butt) away. That was the whole pilot. The great thing about a Canadian show is we have a little more freedom, I think.
tend vocal
The American audiences are more vocal and enthusiastic. British audiences tend to sit back a little more.
