Q: What type of role would you love to do?

A: I would love to play a college professor in a sit com. Or the nasty neighbor. I would love to get on The Big Bang Theory and be the neighbor who cuts Sheldon to ribbons.

Chapter 6 Games People Play

I did another game show called The Extreme Gong Show. It was a revival of the mid to late 70s The Gong Show This time I was hired to play a fake contestant because they didn’t have enough real contestants. For some reason, they assumed I was hairy when they cast me. Probably because my agent assured them I was. Uh, no... My chest is but

not my back. The whole premise was that I was supposed to be singing “Camptown Races” while ripping duct tape off my back. Since I didn’t have hair on my back, they had this makeup artist glue individual hairs on me. That didn’t work, so what he finally did was take this can of spray glue, sprayed my arms and back with it and then placed hair over the glue. They then decided that I wouldn’t sing the whole song. Just “Camptown ladies sing this song, doo-da, doo-da.” over and over again, while pulling off the tape. I knew the whole song, but they wouldn’t let me finish it.

I was also on Win Ben Stein’s Money. In that one, they had a gangster’s theme going and I needed to dress like a gangster. I had several costumers say they would help me, but when I had only three days to get it all together, wouldn’t you know it, not one of them had the time. Now, I was never a clothes horse. That was Whitney’s thing. Nowadays I have three

times the clothes he has because it’s necessary for me to have pirate shirts, corduroy jackets, ties I never wanted to wear, all this stuff so I can put a costume together if needed. Anyway, I ended up gathering up some stuff and taking it down there and I said “Look, I’ve got this and I’ve got this and I’ve got this”, which all worked out pretty good since I had this white shirt with a button collar and wide tie that I had gotten at Goodwill. Funnily, the costumer had forgotten to get a white shirt for Jimmy Kimmel, so they ended up using my white shirt for him and he didn’t know it. He was upset white shirt for him and he didn’t know it. He was upset because it had a button collar. He didn’t want to wear it at first because he kept saying it wasn’t historically accurate. Ben Stein had to assure him that it was. When we started the game, this high school science teacher got the first question, so he kept picking these science questions which, of course, he knew. Naturally he had the answers just like that. When we get to the commercial break someone
