Quotes:
John Pinette: What do they give you for a side dish in England for breakfast? Home Fries? Hash Browns? Fresh fruit? Nay, nay. They give you beans. Oh, good. Let's start me off in the morning: empty stomach, cup of black coffee, and some beans. Now let's walk me around London for a little while, getting me all churned up. Put me in a taxi and see what happens. I blew the doors off the taxi. more

Although IMDb doesn't list it, John Pinette did a wonderful stand-up performance on television many years ago. In it, he did some memorable routines on dieting and Girl Scouts as well as a visit to a local Chinese buffet. Sadly, after achieving this fame in the late 80s-early 90s, he disappeared, somewhat, and only recently returned for a new stand-up routine entitled "I'M STARVIN'". In the intervening years, he appeared on a few sit-coms and apparently also worked on Broadway (playing Mrs. Turnblad in "Hairspray"). It was great to see him back and it was also great to see that this rotund comedian still was funny. Some acts disappear and when they reappear, they have lost their edge and just aren't funny. With Pinette, my entire family watched it and laughed throughout. Very funny and a very welcome return to the stage.
