À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
A “cornucopia” sounds fancy until you hear what we mean: a rapid, no-filler variety pack of live comedy that jumps styles on purpose and keeps you laughing before you can settle in. We built Cornucopia of Comedy as a time-capsule ride through the 1980s and 1990s comedy scene connected to Laughs Unlimited, our outdoor Laughs in the Park concerts, and the TV world around Live at Laughs.
We start with the late, great vibe of a true master of ceremonies, Ronnie Kenny, delivering sharp one-liners about exercise, drinking, and the kind of laws that make you wonder who wrote them. Then we flip into comedy music with a parody drive-thru song put together by Carlos Alazraqui and Chris Hobbs, featuring voice work from my longtime partner Bob Stobener.
From there, we bring in Kevin Pollack, a world-class impressionist and actor, with vintage material that blends movie commentary with a Star Trek riff that turns into a full scene. Finally, we hit the big outdoor energy of Laughs in the Park with ventriloquist Jay Johnson, then close on a high note with theme music written and performed by Robert Aguilar for our TV series, with Bob singing on the track.

00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:04.640
This is another episode of Stand Up Comedy, your host and MC, celebrating 40 plus years on the fringe of show business.
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:10.079
Stories, interviews, and comedy sets from the famous and not so famous.
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:13.920
Here's your host and MC, Scott Edwards.
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:17.200
Hi, and welcome to this week's show.
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:21.280
I got another special event set up for you on this podcast.
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:36.240
You may remember a little over a month ago, I did Cornucopia of Comedy, which is basically a quick mix of a variety of entertainment in short segments that'll move pretty quickly through the podcast.
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:40.879
So we'll be calling this one Cornucopia of Comedy the Sequel.
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:42.960
I hope you enjoy it.
00:01:43.199 --> 00:01:47.199
Let me tell you about this podcast and what makes it so unique.
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:56.319
Later on, to close the podcast show, we have some music from Robert Aguaio, talented musician out of Venice Beach, California.
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:57.840
You may recognize him.
00:01:57.919 --> 00:01:59.359
He was on the Love Boat.
00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:04.159
Anyway, he did the theme song for our TV show, Live at Laughs.
00:02:04.240 --> 00:02:05.919
So we're going to share that with you later.
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:11.439
We also have comic ventriloquist Jay Johnson, who remember from the Soap TV show.
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:16.639
Also the very funny impressionist Kevin Pollack, who you'll recognize from many movies.
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:21.439
He's a longtime poker player and has had his two of his own HBO specials.
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:30.159
And a song put together by Carlos Alazraki, who does a lot of uh cartoons and was also on Reno 911.
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:35.359
And now let's kick off this cornucopia of comedy, the sequel.
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.879
Our first act today is Ronnie Kenny.
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:42.080
This guy was a premier master of ceremonies.
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:46.159
He does a lot of great quick jokes and was always very entertaining.
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:52.479
He did appear in the movie The Comics Open and has done stand-up on stage for over 30 years.
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:55.439
So let's hear a little bit of Ronnie Kenny.
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:57.439
Thank you very much.
00:02:58.080 --> 00:02:59.120
Good to see you.
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:00.400
I was excited about doing this.
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:01.680
I got too excited today.
00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:02.640
I did a uh sit-up.
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:04.159
Have you tried one of those lately?
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:06.000
I got real lightheaded.
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:07.360
I stopped that immediately, boy.
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.800
I I got up, grabbed a beer and a cigarette, and laid back down again.
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:14.319
An exercise guy.
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:16.080
You are what you eat.
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:16.879
What's that supposed to mean?
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:18.319
Do I look deep fries, you people?
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:22.960
Gotta get new friends.
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:24.879
My friends are always bragging about their exercise.
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:27.920
That's great.
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:28.640
I own a car.
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:33.920
I drove 40 miles with a beer between my legs, right?
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:45.039
My body's drink whiskey.
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.879
There's a I don't know if whiskey drinkers are supposed to be beer drinkers, but they just they just think fast.
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.120
They come out of uh six excuses get a trouble.
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:56.240
That's impossible.
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:03.200
Sorry about it.
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:03.520
Go ahead.
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:09.680
Uh of course I was speeding.
00:04:09.760 --> 00:04:10.319
I'm out of beer.
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:46.800
Did you know you were leaving?
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.920
I said, yeah, but that was doing something as much to drink as I have.
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:59.439
There's nothing funny about drunk driving, we all agree with that, but there's a law that goes too far.
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:00.879
It's in every state of the union.
00:05:01.039 --> 00:05:01.519
Did you know this?
00:05:01.599 --> 00:05:04.159
You can now be arrested for drunk driving on a bicycle.
00:05:05.039 --> 00:05:05.519
Yeah.
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:06.800
That just amazes me.
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:08.879
Was that a major problem in this country?
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:13.759
Guys are selling cracks, we can't get drunk and go for a bike ride.
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:17.439
Can't wait to see these commercials.
00:05:17.599 --> 00:05:19.120
Thanks before you touch that kickstand.
00:05:21.679 --> 00:05:22.319
You've been drinking.
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:24.239
Don't get behind those handlebars, mister.
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:27.759
Friends, don't let friends pedal drunk.
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:30.639
What happens?
00:05:30.719 --> 00:05:31.599
You're too drunk to get home.
00:05:31.679 --> 00:05:34.479
You call a toll free number, a guy comes out on a bicycle built for two.
00:05:34.719 --> 00:05:36.079
All right, idiot, get on the bike.
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:44.239
Ronnie was always one of my favorites and worked for us quite a bit in the 80s and 90s.
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:45.519
I'm sure you enjoyed him.
00:05:45.679 --> 00:05:49.839
All right, I mentioned in this particular episode, we're going to be mixing things up.
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:59.919
So here we have a special comedy song put together by Carlos Alez Rocky of Reno 911 fame and also Chris Hobbs, a musician.
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:04.239
And the voice you hear helping out with the song is my partner, Bob Stobener.
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:05.359
So here we go.
00:06:05.599 --> 00:06:06.719
The Carl's Jr.
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:07.120
song.
00:06:07.359 --> 00:06:08.479
Welcome to Carls Juniors.
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:10.000
Can I take your order?
00:06:22.159 --> 00:06:24.159
I gotta get a ring.
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:44.639
You gotta be a bad thing, a burger fruit.
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:46.719
I have to frown too.
00:06:47.039 --> 00:06:52.399
I need to make a butcher always big.
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:58.879
Okay, that's one regular hamburger and one regular fry.
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:00.719
You're a boring guy, sir.
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:02.639
Can I get you a cup with that?
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:05.199
One hour thing.
00:07:07.359 --> 00:07:09.199
Good interesting.
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:13.439
I tried to get them one.
00:07:15.599 --> 00:07:17.120
But they were coming.
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:23.359
One of them coming, dumbing dummy.
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:29.279
You gonna be a cast junior brother.
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:31.519
I'll have to frown you.
00:07:32.159 --> 00:07:34.879
I'll even make a better go ahead.
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:37.279
Always be.
00:07:40.479 --> 00:07:43.199
How about trying our new celery cake?
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:46.959
So don't start acting.
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:49.439
Like you can do anything.
00:07:49.599 --> 00:07:51.759
Like you can do anything.
00:07:53.120 --> 00:08:02.879
Let you get in the job at bug up, bug up, bug up, bug up, bug a cake.
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:05.599
Would you like some hard-boiled dog doodles?
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:09.439
Maybe our special industrial strength from Alock Small.
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:17.039
I think I'd be happy.
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:36.799
I'm gonna be a crash in a big.
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:39.200
I'll get the fraters.
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:41.200
I'll even make a bed.
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:42.960
I'm gonna be a bed.
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:47.759
Oh I bought that.
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:55.600
We're gonna do a big boot.
00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:59.679
We're gonna do a big boota.
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:15.440
We're gonna do that$1.49 at the window, sir.
00:09:16.560 --> 00:09:23.440
Hey, I hope you enjoyed that song by Carlos Alasraki, Chris Hobbs, and my partner Bob Stobner doing the voiceover.
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:25.840
Uh, a little entertaining music for you.
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:29.039
Hey, we're gonna jump into some very special comedy.
00:09:29.199 --> 00:09:31.840
This next set is by Kevin Pollack.
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:35.439
He's a very talented impressionist, and I'm sure you recognize the name.
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:42.799
He's been in movies like The Usual Suspects, A Few Good Men, and one of my favorites, The Whole Nine Yards.
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.439
Currently, you can see him in the marvelous Mrs.
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:46.319
Mazel.
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:52.159
He's done two of his own HBO specials and is kind of known as a world-renowned poker player.
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:57.439
But let's see his comedy and impressionism from back in the 80s, Kevin Pollock.
00:09:57.759 --> 00:09:58.959
Thank you so much.
00:09:59.199 --> 00:10:01.439
What a pleasure to be here tonight.
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:02.319
Do you feel it?
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:03.840
It's a little frightening.
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:04.720
It is, it is.
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:05.919
I can tell you about myself.
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:14.079
I'm a big, big movie fan, and I guess the big movie news is that uh Predator, this film over the weekend made$12 million starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:15.439
I'm a big Schwarzenegger fan.
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:21.279
You know, in fact, it just baffles me how every year the Academy Awards overlooks this guy.
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:22.240
I don't know.
00:10:23.439 --> 00:10:25.039
What do these people need?
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:26.159
A verb?
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.439
The best news for me, though, would have to be that they're making another Star Trek film.
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:34.799
I'm so excited about this.
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:37.840
Uh, anything to keep Shatner out of that cop outfit.
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:40.639
Uh I'm a big Star Trek fan.
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:43.039
I see William Shatner dressed up as a cop on TJ Hooker.
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:48.079
First time I saw it, I looked at this guy and I thought to myself, this guy had a starship.
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:50.959
What does he have now?
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:51.919
A Plymouth?
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:52.639
Come on.
00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:54.799
Love the Star Trek films.
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:57.360
In fact, I have good news for Star Trek fans about Star Trek V.
00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:02.079
They've got William Shatner signed to direct and also uh star as James T.
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:02.879
Kirk once again.
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:06.559
Having trouble though, signing all the other cast members from the original cast.
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:11.199
So I imagine what it would be like if we had real celebrities to play these other roles.
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:16.319
We'll now take you aboard Enterprise, Star Trek V in search of cash.
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:20.559
William Shatner at the helm.
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:24.159
Cabin's long.
00:11:25.439 --> 00:11:27.679
Star Day 24.
00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:31.039
76.5.
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:37.360
Something strange has happened.
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:44.879
Since passing through a cosmic cloud, I've noticed a peculiar change.
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:50.240
In the behavior of my crew, although the faces seem to change.
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:54.240
The personality.
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:56.240
Personality.
00:11:57.600 --> 00:11:59.919
Have altered yet somehow.
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:02.000
They seem familiar.
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:06.159
I don't know what to do.
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:08.799
Mr.
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:09.519
Chegov.
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:11.199
Warp back to one.
00:12:12.319 --> 00:12:13.199
Forgive me, sir.
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:14.720
Yes, I'm sorry.
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:16.240
Oh don't be afraid.
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:20.879
Yes, I'm sorry, sir.
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:22.799
It's my tons looking very strangely.
00:12:22.959 --> 00:12:23.279
Yes.
00:12:23.439 --> 00:12:26.159
Little dials are spinning lights and going, help me, help me.
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:28.480
All right, Check off.
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:29.039
Oh, horror.
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:30.159
Put him on the screen.
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:31.519
Mr.
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:32.240
Spott.
00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:34.000
Analysis, please.
00:12:57.679 --> 00:12:59.039
Mom, what's the matter with you?
00:12:59.199 --> 00:13:00.079
Use your instruments.
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:00.480
Oh.
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:02.799
I want a mic, an idiot.
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:05.439
Oh, it looks like a bang followed.
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:07.199
Oh, hurrah trying to raise communication.
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:08.879
I don't know what's happening.
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:12.559
When I get back from six bay, I want some answers.
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:17.679
Six bay.
00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:19.679
Bones.
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:20.959
Bones.
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.879
The ship is being pursued to the neutral zone by an unknown person.
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:28.959
My crew was all gone mad.
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:35.679
Over 400 men and women on boarding, and I feel no to talk about you, Bone.
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:37.519
You gotta help.
00:13:38.079 --> 00:13:42.000
Well, well, well, looky here, boys and girls.
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:49.360
Looks like the old captain's getting a little paranoid.
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:54.559
Pocus pocus.
00:13:57.439 --> 00:13:59.039
Captain to the bridge! Boom.
00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:00.480
Don't leave, sick bag.
00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:25.600
Scotty, ma'am, what's going on down there?
00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:27.039
I need more power.
00:14:29.199 --> 00:14:30.319
It's a party.
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:36.079
Johnny, Jimmy, Gregory.
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:41.199
It's a bloody party down here.
00:14:41.439 --> 00:14:43.919
This is the best fun never.
00:14:48.959 --> 00:14:55.120
Kevin is not only a terrific impressionist, but a great actor, and you'll continue to see him in films.
00:14:55.199 --> 00:14:57.759
Uh he's done so many and more to come.
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.679
Very, very funny guy, and it was a real honor to get to work with him back in the day.
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:04.159
Hey, coming up right now at a special treat.
00:15:04.319 --> 00:15:10.159
This set was taped at one of our live concerts out in William Land Park called Laughs in the Park.
00:15:10.319 --> 00:15:13.199
This particular one had over 12,000 people at it.
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:18.559
But it is an outdoor family event, so there's a little more noisy and something a little different.
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:21.600
This features headliner Jay Johnson.
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:26.159
You'll remember him as a regular on the Soap TV show.
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:33.279
Uh he and his ventriloqual figure, Bob, were very popular throughout the 80s and 90s and still entertain today.
00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:38.159
He's done several TV specials and worked regularly with our good friend of mine, Harry Anderson.
00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:39.840
I know you'll enjoy him.
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:42.959
Sit back and enjoy Jay Johnson.
00:15:43.439 --> 00:15:49.039
Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready for the featured headliner for this afternoon?
00:15:51.120 --> 00:16:01.759
Please, a gentleman you recognize from the TV Soul Show for a play, Chuck and Bob, is appearing tonight at the 830 show at Laps and Limited if you want to see his whole set.
00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:04.720
How about a nice big round of applause, Mr.
00:16:04.959 --> 00:16:06.639
J Johnson?
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:15.360
Thank you for being here, Mike.
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:16.079
Thank you.
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:20.159
Welcome.
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:21.279
Glad you're here.
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:23.360
Kind of like performing for an LA crowd.
00:16:23.439 --> 00:16:25.759
Everybody's on grass, but I'm glad they're nobody's in here.
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:28.639
Most people out there have a great deal.
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:29.919
Let's wave at them across the lake.
00:16:30.079 --> 00:16:30.720
How are you?
00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:32.639
You're here early next time.
00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:35.439
Uh it's much better closer.
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:38.240
I do control it because I'm from here I could be equiburgen.
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:39.120
Okay, so uh.
00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:41.840
Well, this is great.
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:43.120
Well, we got a lot of people here.
00:16:43.199 --> 00:16:44.720
And uh, I am from Los Angeles.
00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:47.199
I didn't flying out in the Lanceland all day.
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:47.919
We'll get to you.
00:16:48.079 --> 00:16:48.720
Good job.
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:54.720
And uh it's kind of strange being here in Sacramento because the air is much better here than it is in Los Angeles.
00:16:54.799 --> 00:17:00.240
And so you're thinking of me would feel better, but what happens is you have all that bear strepped in your wings and you don't get rid of it right away.
00:17:00.319 --> 00:17:07.680
And I find that that even though I've been in Sacramento now a couple three days, I still get that kind of LA car that you don't do that.
00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:13.279
Well, not be better here, I know it's I remember Randall Park.
00:17:13.360 --> 00:17:15.920
One guy who didn't get thanked for Scottish, he was done on the sky.
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:23.840
One of the best contracts problems you can hope for.
00:17:25.600 --> 00:17:26.799
Okay, all right, all right.
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:38.720
I had a flying in.
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:43.680
I I'm I'm uh convinced that what would make use now is a plane that lands with all its parts, you know.
00:17:43.840 --> 00:17:45.600
Uh that's all you hear anymore.
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:48.720
It's like uh airplanes that land without their parts, so I figure it'll have a man.
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:52.559
The one they always showed you is that Hawaiian airlines, you know, they're landing without a roof.
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:54.000
That's a little concerning to me.
00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:55.680
It's good as studying right up front.
00:17:55.759 --> 00:18:00.560
She says, you know, if the cabin pressure suddenly drops, then an oxygen mass will fall from the roof and just be one of them.
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:03.440
They don't cover what happens if there is no roof.
00:18:05.360 --> 00:18:06.720
But they didn't retire the plane.
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:07.840
It's now Hawaiian airlines.
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:09.200
It's called cam before you land.
00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:09.840
No problem.
00:18:11.120 --> 00:18:12.160
Going right in.
00:18:13.040 --> 00:18:25.680
You know, uh, because old thing we've uh had to uh pass some laws now because of the way the world is, we've had to pass some anti-terrorism laws, but in America we don't want to pass anti-terrorism laws because we might want to offend somebody that might be a terrorist living in the United States.
00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:27.440
So you have to disguise those laws.
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:29.360
And the governor came up with a great compromise.
00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:32.800
Came up with a law called non-smoking on airlines of under two hours of duration.
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:33.759
Have you heard this law?
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:35.519
He's got smoking here at LA.
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:41.680
Theory being that no hijack in his right mind would hijack an airplane when there are 20 smokers that have another cigarette in two hours.
00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:43.440
It's working.
00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:44.720
It's working.
00:18:46.080 --> 00:18:53.759
Fred of mine's an actor, he he uh lost his job, so he tried to apply somewhere else, and uh he replied right over at the Sacramento too, right over here, just right over here.
00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:56.240
And they said, Well, we don't we don't really have any place for actors.
00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:58.400
And so I'll do anything, I'll speak about just this name.
00:18:58.640 --> 00:18:59.360
I need a job.
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:03.040
And he said, Well, to be honest with you, uh a gorella suit.
00:19:03.840 --> 00:19:08.400
If you'll just put on this gorella suit since you are an actor, and just get in the cage, I don't think anybody will know.
00:19:08.800 --> 00:19:09.600
She said, Okay.
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:14.880
So he got in the cage, and uh sure enough, Sandy came around and there wasn't one of these things, so everybody went to the zoo.
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.080
And and there was the monkey, and everybody kind of jumped around the ape there.
00:19:18.320 --> 00:19:20.800
And being an actor, he felt like he had the crowd.
00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:21.600
He was doing a performance.
00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:23.040
So he began to swing real big.
00:19:23.280 --> 00:19:30.640
And he's swinging bigger and bigger and bigger, and the people are cheering, and they're they're yelling, and suddenly he gets so full of himself he falls into the cage with the lion.
00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:33.040
Somebody wants the lion cage.
00:19:33.120 --> 00:19:34.240
Somebody start betting on the lion.
00:19:34.320 --> 00:19:35.280
I five buttons on the lion.
00:19:37.040 --> 00:19:38.960
Yeah, it's like David Talas is saying the monkey lion.
00:19:39.280 --> 00:19:40.720
So the lion starts after a monkey.
00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:42.240
He doesn't know what to do, so he backs up.
00:19:42.320 --> 00:19:42.800
He backs up.
00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:44.160
Spine is the back of the cage.
00:19:44.320 --> 00:19:45.840
There he is, can't move.
00:19:46.080 --> 00:19:47.040
He's ready to scream.
00:19:47.120 --> 00:19:48.080
The lions come at him.
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:52.240
Finally, the lion jumps on his chest, chest like that, puts his voice, goes, like that.
00:19:52.320 --> 00:19:54.400
And the guy goes, Help! And the lion says, Shut up.
00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:55.440
You want to get a soap fire?
00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:00.320
It's not a true story, isn't it?
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:03.920
Well, you're nice, bud.
00:20:05.360 --> 00:20:07.360
Uh, we're gonna do some good trolls in here.
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:07.920
Uh, Bob.
00:20:08.560 --> 00:20:08.880
What?
00:20:09.360 --> 00:20:09.840
Are you in here?
00:20:11.600 --> 00:20:11.680
Good.
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:12.160
Here, ready.
00:20:13.280 --> 00:20:13.840
Get your pants on.
00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:16.240
So anyway.
00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:18.400
Bob is not the nasty person you used to be.
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:25.519
I used to say nasty things, uh, yellow synodies, but I think this is his kind of crowd because it would come out for anything that's for free.
00:20:25.600 --> 00:20:28.960
And uh, so uh we're glad you're here, Bob.
00:20:29.120 --> 00:20:29.519
You ready?
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:31.200
Okay, that's good, Mindy.
00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:33.200
Let's go to the bed for him to smoke different now.
00:20:33.360 --> 00:20:40.320
Those habits used out are much different, but I think you're gonna enjoy him and I know he's gonna enjoy you because I'm sure these trees will make him uh homesick.
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:41.840
There you go, okay.
00:20:53.040 --> 00:20:53.600
Louise.
00:20:54.080 --> 00:20:54.880
You got a girl in there?
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:56.160
I got a girl in the night.
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:03.680
Yeah, just hanging out of the uh river, picking up dress lives for a good time.
00:21:03.840 --> 00:21:04.240
I see.
00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:06.560
Yeah, she loves me.
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:08.080
Yeah, she hangs on a stud.
00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:08.640
Really?
00:21:08.800 --> 00:21:09.200
Yeah.
00:21:09.360 --> 00:21:11.360
I think of myself as a too long for her.
00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:19.120
Well, it's hard to come across on a podcast, maybe, but he is a terrific and funny ventriloquist.
00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:23.120
We hope you enjoyed that set from Laughs in the Park in the mid-80s.
00:21:23.280 --> 00:21:30.640
So, to close things up, as I alluded to earlier in this particular show, is comic musician Robert Aguyo.
00:21:30.800 --> 00:21:33.759
We've heard him a few times over this podcast.
00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:37.360
He is a very funny musician out of Venice Beach, California.
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:45.040
He was seen a couple times on the TV show The Love Boat, but he's really most famous for his musical entries into the comedy world.
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:52.160
In this particular case, we had him write and perform the opening music for our TV series.
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:57.440
As mentioned a few times, we had a couple TV series, uh special on Fox.
00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:05.280
We did shows for ABC and CBS, and this particular show, Live at Laughs, had a theme song written by Robert Aguiles.
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:17.440
Oh, and before I start this, I want to make it clear this uh theme song for our TV show was written and performed by Robert Aguiler, but the voiceover, the singing on the piece is my partner, Bob Stobener.
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:22.080
You also heard him as the drive-thru voice on the Carl's Jr.
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:23.840
song earlier in this podcast.
00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:32.480
Bob and I go back uh through many, many years working together in many different companies, but he was my partner at Laughs Unlimited and a very creative guy.
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:45.280
He was an animator, did a lot of uh art, uh uh it was the art director for the company, but he also did a lot of voiceover work for our TV show, commercials, and other special things.
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:49.040
And I think uh we should do a shout-out for his special talent.
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:56.080
So uh let's hear that and kind of end this podcast, a cornucopia of comedy with some great music.
00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:56.800
Here we go.
00:22:56.880 --> 00:22:58.800
Here's a theme song for our TV show.
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:03.519
Thanks to Robert Aguiler for writing it, and my partner Bob Stovener for singing it.
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:04.960
Hope you enjoy it.
00:23:09.040 --> 00:23:10.640
Would you like to take a laugh?
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:13.440
Well, that was a good high-energy way to end this podcast.
00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:15.920
Cornucopia of comedy, the sequel.
00:24:16.080 --> 00:24:17.200
I hope you enjoyed it.
00:24:17.280 --> 00:24:29.440
A variety of short and entertaining bits from the eighties and nineties, all featured live at Laughs Unlimited or Laughs in the Park, and also heard on our TV show, Live Almost from Laughs Unlimited.
00:24:29.840 --> 00:24:31.920
I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
00:24:32.080 --> 00:24:34.080
