Okay, first of all, Janet had people here this night. I remember this big,
 cigar-smoking guy. He must have brought a group. Anyway, this was by and
 large a pretty awful show. We just weren't very good back then. And where
 did MSJeans come from? I think at one point we decided it would be funny to
 work Steve's character Mr. Li from "MSGee" into as many sketches as
 possible. So, he ended up popping in at the end of "Elvises" (which went
 well) and then there was MSJeans. In that sketch, Janet lies on a couch
 saying, "Nobody comes between me and my Ms. Jeans." Steve, as Mr. Li, bursts
 thru center curtain and says (echoing his MSGee line 'We no use MSG here!'
 followed by maniacal laughter) "Ms. Jeans? Ms. Jeans?? No, I told you, they
 MSJeans! (followed by maniacal laughter. From Mr. Li, not the audience). I
 don't think anyone found Mr. Li as funny as me and Steve.

 "Rate Your Mate" was good (that was a Schilling sketch); Trump was pretty
 awful, but you've gotta' hand it to Jen -- she learned it fast and sang it
 like a trooper (okay, a STORMtrooper, but nonetheless...) Spiderback was
 funny but slow and I can't imagine what Steve finds so appealing about
 Josh's "Antiques Roadshow" sketch. I don't remember every freaking out (in
 character) so completely onstage, though. I impressed me!

I disagree with Dale a little that we weren't that good in those
days, or that the show didn't go that well. I would agree the group wasn't
as good as it had been, or would be later, but I thought we did a spunky
little show that night. He's right about Mr.Li - nobody ever seemed to find
him as funny as we did. But I will stick up for Josh's appraisal sketch
which, for the record, was called "For What It's Worth." I always thought it
was funny, and, yes, Dale did totally freak out. At the end, I (as the old
man in this production, because Josh already was back in school), toss Dale
a glass vase that supposedly is worth money, and it falls and breaks. The
one used that night fell and shattered into a million little glass pieces.
It shocked the hell out of everybody, but Dale and I continued without
missing a beat. I relished the shocked look people had for just a second
there. I felt like Gallagher, only we should have told people up front they
were sitting in the safety glasses section.
