His finest moment since SCTV? I'm saying yes. IMO all of the Christopher Guest
movies have been fine vehicles, far better than what Hollywood has given him to work with.
Poets are made by fools like me, but only God can make STD.
I put this performance right up there with Dr Allan Pearl in Guffman. Both characters were pure comedy gold! Lines like “I just wanted a drink of water” and “I would love to see this town in Autumn” were my favorite in this film. In Waiting for Guffman, it was “I wasn’t the class clown, but I sat next to him…studied him”. As for his more “Hollywood” movies, American Pie was great…but my favorite was when he played a security guard along side of John Candy in Armed and Dangerous. He gets mad at the corrupt boss and says “That man…is a subhuman, moronic….Poop Head!” I used that line on many of my previous bosses to the delight of my co-workers.
shareI know of SCTV but am familiar with it or the performances, mostly because the folks that went thru there are very- good to Excellent comedians AND some do good on Drama.
Yes I think this Eugenes finest moment.
HE COVERED THE COMEDY AND THE DRAMA
