And there is the great Jessica Tandy is full view. I miss her greatly. She is one of the greatest movie actress of our time. They don't make it like that anymore. R.I.P., Miss. Tandy.

    Aw! What guy! I have a thought and though I love Amy? I have real reluctance to watch her at the Big Show. Love Wanda and Regina. Maybe insert Ricky Gervais or Bon Jung Ho for upbeat international flair?

    Billy Crystal is amazing. In this day in age he couldn’t say this fork if humor without someone trying to sue him.

    The Art Buchwald joke at 3:40 was in reference to a lawsuit Buchwald filed earlier in 1988 claiming Paramount Pictures stole his idea for Eddie Murphy's Coming To America.
