My_Shrimp_Cot Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I dont remember his name. But he had a show, similar to Benny Hill's except he would sit and do monologues and jokes whiles chain smoking cigarettes and drinking scotch I think. with sketches thrown in, often poking fun of the Pope and the Catholic Church, but not always... He was a thin man with dark hair...that's all I remember, I was young. Any help? I remember a few specific sketches If you think that would help.

debe Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 God I used to love him!!! Remember the episode where he was showing the viewers all his little cues and the cameramen were all running around like crazy trying to keep up with the cues?
