Episode 24

Dick Cavett

25 mins

Cooking with Marcello has him trying to make chicken cacciatore with a live chicken. He finds it hard to kill the chicken. Great White North has Bob and Doug outside the studio for a change as they talk about running from the cops in Alberta. A funny quick promo about a new series with Abe Vigoda and Erik Estrada called Fish N CHiPs. Then a commercial with Rick Moranis about Logos Galore. On Monster Chiller Horror Theatre, Count Floyd promises a scary movie but it turns out to be an episode of The Dick Cavett Show. Bobby Bittman is the guest for the show's funniest moments. The dry, intellectual Cavett interviews the dim, wacky Bittman who is plugging a new book called The Complete Film Maker and a new movie he directed called Funny Stuff. This is a parody of Jerry Lewis who wrote a book called 'The Total Film Maker'. Bobby's movie is about a clown which is also a Jerry Lewis parody of a film he directed but never released called "The Day The Clown Cried". He shows some outtakes where he tries to get a performance out of an actress (Andrea Martin), he acts very obnoxious to the crew. Bobby walks off the show after some insults from Cavett. In the final scene, Count Floyd returns, says he knows it wasn't scary and sends him to his coffin, howling as the credits roll.
