This is a very surreal sketch. There's a lot going underneath the surface that is not spelled out for the audience. Michael's character is either a mental patient pretending to be a business exec, or he is an alien inhabiting a human body. I think it's the latter because he watches 'Mork and Mindy' which is a clue to what's going on here.
It struck me that he was a guy that had learning difficulties, and a desire to have some sort of respect and power beyond what anyone would rationally give him.
There were two sketches I remember from this show. One where the family on vacation forgets their camera and they see bigfoot and dinosaurs. And the other was one where the rednecks call a phone sex chat number to talk to "the naughty lady"!
Despite the racist issue, Richards is a genius and Fridays was his best work IMO. I'm hping to see the rollerskate and recruitment sketches soon. Thank you and keep up the excellent work!
Oh my god this is the greatest! I think this is the best Fridays skit I've seen so far, Dick is sooooo hilarious I love when he's at the TV and then he turns the stereo on haha!! Keep all of the Michael videos you have coming!

You're now realizing that this is basically Kramer interviewing someone and not knowing what he's doing.

Anyone have a posting of "Hollywood Cube"?
This was a spoof of "Hollywood Squares", but the stars were inside of a Rubik's Cube.
