Man, when I was a kid, this guy used to have me in tears with his improv stuff. And I do remember those episodes of Mork & Mindy with him, though it felt like M&M had jumped the shark when he was introduced. His improv routines though... Title: Re: Back in the egg!

At least they were all all 85+ and had a good run but still :cry:

Interesting to watch it, especially as they changed the ending and both endings work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrd-0673SOI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrd-0673SOI) |
