You can tell Dudley is the famous one in America. He has the chair close to Rivers, whereas Pete has to sit on a separate saggy sofa.

@feckingbillgates Well no, Peter wasn't a guest here, this was his role in each show, as Joan's second banana. He always sat at the edge, chipping in with all her guests. It was a thankless role

[feckingbillgates]

@destructivedandy Oh, okay - didn't know that, thanks. The seating arrangement doesn't make that apparent.  Certainly Cook remained less famous in American than Moore.

[destructivedandy]

@feckingbillgates Sadly true yeah, Cookie just drifted between jobs when Moore struck big in the US. I believe when Moore returned to the UK for this show he was a bit annoyed with Joan (who he didn't get on with any way) and the production team as it was hoisted on him and showed how far they'd separated. I think the seating thing, with Cookie on the sofa, was used so that as each new guest arrived, the chair would be vacated and the previous would move onto the sofa next to him

I never knew Joan Rivers had real comedy on her show. Sorry I missed it. This one, at least.

brilliant as ever..........even when they hadnt worked together for some time now....they both "took off" with that sketch so naturally...like they did so many years ago... i felt quite choked ....loved them both...

[FulchesterUnited]

Dud never could get through anything close to 10 minutes with Pete without cracking up :)

[HaryMaverick]

the whole reenactment is brilliant, especially when they are so comfortable they add in their own new bits. however the entire sketch is trumped by the last 3 seconds of this video.

also disparatedan, your bit of info is also what i believe to be utterly true. videos like this prove it
