I miss the “Murray Head weekend” shtick.
I miss the Schrub Club...do you remember how he used to set up a scenario early in the show and have people call in, assign them parts, then at 5 start with some outlandish premise and the folks tuning in on their way home thought it was for real (sort of a Phil Hendrie show format, but with real callers playing the parts.)
During the 2000 recounts, I’ve never laughed harder than I did them. Some of his stuff, back them was soooo good...one bit about strapping Gore and Bush to the front of Nascars then running a few laps and counting the bugs in their teeth to determine the winner, stands out in my mind.
I’m an insider and noticed that they’ve taken some of the good stuff out of the archives (they do have it on CD’s now.) Making of the Wafflehead Sound Track was a great one, and Wilford’s conversation with Jean over “fanticizing about infanticide,” “eye mumps,” and “riddled with SIDS” was a classic.
I miss Flap Jackson on the BiG FROG....ribbit
