  • "He's Eurasian ..." ROFL

  • Maybe I'm easy to entertain…but already the opening stills of LaRue eating make me ROTFL. These bugged-out eyes…

  • This episode is unusual because usually "Dining with LaRue" ends with him storming off in a huff…this time, however, he seems to be pleased. Until he passes out, that is.

  • the greatest of the television comedy greats...

    check out Dave's improv moment & how Johnny LaR almost loses it...

    "May I now order for youuuuuu? To help you?????"

    sigh...

    Johnny, Johnny--the world is full of nothing but cheap punks since u left us...

  • Have you noticed that Dave Thomas is in ALL the 'Chinese' or 'Japanese' roles in these SKITS!?? That also tend to be a bit sensitive!

  • Lin Ye Tang, who would later co-star in "On the Waterfront, Again".

  • A wonderful sketch where you can feel the chemistry between the actors, I miss good comedy

  • Does anyone recall an early Dr. Tongue? I remember H. Ramis and he was playing an Eastern Indian type and a squirrel ran up his leg? I can't find it yet.

    Thanks for the great post.

  • Remember his smoking jacket with the "J La R" monogram? ;)

  • I've been away for maybe a week, and you put up scads of brilliance in my absence:) I love it, and of course Johnny La Rue!!

    Plus trying to do the show while both the host, and the restaurant owner are stinking drunk!! Hahahahaha:)FANTASTIC!

    Thanks you so much;-)
