Kelsey Grammer is to Laugh Track as Christopher Walken is to Cowbell


Kelsey Grammer is to Laugh Track as Christopher Walken is to Cowbell
True?

I don't know what you're getting at, but the Walken cowbell thing was hysterical. Especially if you were an Iron Maiden fan. The Hank show was just pathetic and stale. I didn't even notice the laugh track to be honest.

reply

It was a timely premise for a new TV show with the economy failing and companies downsizing, but the show just didn't have enough laughs in it.

reply

I believe the band you're thinking of is Blue Oyster Cult.

reply

No, the band playing was to be BOC. Walken's character was supposed to be Bruce Dickenson(Lead singer of Iron Maiden). But instead of being 5 foot nothing and wearing a long strait wig with bangs, Walken played it deadpan as himself.

I wonder how many people didn't get that?

reply

Bruce Dickinson was a mid-level manager at Columbia Records whose name appears on a Blue Öyster Cult greatest hits CD as the "reissue producer."

reply

Yeah, you're right. I just looked it up. I liked it better the way I thought it was before. Oh well, I guess If I want to be entertained, I'll just have to entertain myself. I usually find it more satisfying that way any how.
