Billions of years back? DAMN! Even 100's of millions of years before Dinosaurs? Shit.

Doesn't matter, just one of the least funny guys of his time shaking hands with one of the funniest guys of his time. I never understood why Stevenson was always cast in sitcoms-- he sucked.

@Bob Roehrer Who really cares. I was never a huge fan of M*A*S*H anyways. Boring war satire that only people of that generation that could identify with war could love & appreciate from washed up has-been actors during that time. Besides , it was just a casual guess. My bad for saying it was him. Maybe I should have said "Looks like" instead. We all only had a split second or 2 to see the guy before the clip ended.

3:26... I just love that laugh. ;)

James Rebhorn? huh? How about McLean Stevenson (Col Blake, the first M*A*S*H commanding office) ??
