Great Show. Great performers. Forgettable Episode
9 February 2008
There's a good bit with Bob wanting more of a role in the show so he steals Jack's pants, forcing him to remain back stage while Bob does the opening monologue. He pulls Jack's wallet out of his pants and reads the driver's license which reads "hair: when it's warm" and has the birth date scratched out. But the bulk of the show is a lengthy and unfunny skit called "The Road to Nairobi" in which Jack and Bob play African explorers who somehow encounter a tiger and headhunters. After many quips they wind up being boiled for dinner. The natives can't seem to get the fire started until Martin and Lewis run in from offstage with cigarette lighters. And that's all there is to it
