          The dude’s so lucky that Adam Sandler likes to maintain an entourage of pseudo-talent. In any other universe he would’ve been working an endless string of dead-end jobs the moment he left SNL.

    Tim Curry, Star. I don’t know where I saw it but my favorite quote about him:

    “Tim Curry was in a lot of one star films but he was the reason those films had that star.”

        holy shit, i haven’t heard/thought about that show in over 20 years!

        you just reminded me of a period in my life where i was entering puberty and living off a steady diet of zev bellringer and seven of nine… before we had access to internet boobs.
