TV Guidance Counselor Episode 17: Jenny Zigrino
You have a TV? No, I don't like to read the TV guide, read the TV guide, don't need a TV guide. [Music] Hello and welcome to TV Guidance Counselor. I am Ken Reed as always and I am your TV Guidance Counselor. My guest this week is comedian Jenny Zagrino. Jenny is a friend of mine from the Boston Days. She unfortunately lives in New York now for me but fortunate for her because she's doing very well in comedy. She was named one of Comedy Central's comics to watch this year. She's all over the place. I think you're going to see big things from Jenny. She's very funny. She is a fellow vintage clothing enthusiast and we have a pretty lively conversation here that I think you'll enjoy. So please enjoy this week's episode of TV Guidance Counselor with my guest, Jenny. [Music] This is Jenny Zagrino. Hello. Hello and welcome to my home. This is your first time. I love it. I love it so much. I'm in heaven. There are many vintage things which you enjoy. Yeah, there's Elvis and there's that whale that I'm looking at now. That's a whale from the amusement park that used to be in Wakefield, Massachusetts called Pleasure Island that was the largest competitor of Disneyland in Wakefield, Massachusetts. It used to be a huge resort town until the 1960s when that park closed in the whole area that it is now as a big industrial park but that whale is from there. Pretty interesting place when I was a big, big amusement park in the New England area. When I was where I'm from in Burnsville, Minnesota, we had this amusement park that we used to go to as a kid and I remember like the the entrance to it had two little pigs flying. Well, no, two flying pigs on the to like come into the parking lot. It was pretty horrible but it had this amazing section where they had like these dioramas where put a nickel in and they'd move and they'd move. And I remember they had like the saloon and they'd move and there was robotic noises but the one that I remember the most was you put a nickel in and it was a surgery from like Old Western times. Blood everywhere. Oh, nice. And then I remember there was an IV and it went up to a sign that said whiskey and I remember asking my dad being like what does it say and he's like whiskey and I'm like why are they infusing his body with whiskey? They're infusing with whiskey. That's like ingrained in my brain. Well, I'm fascinated by regional amusement parks. There's so few now but they really had their heyday in the 50s and 60s. If you can find one that's still hanging on, it is amazing. I can't find anything about this amusement park. I've tried searching. Yeah, because it sort of predates most of them probably closed in the mid to late 80s. This one closed in like the 90s because I remember being like 10 or 11 and going there. Right. When it was just like you could find something. There are people who write books about these things. I bet you could find someone who's just like a complete, historical freak for whatever this amusement park was. If anyone knows, email can read. Okay. So the amusement park in Minnesota. In Burnsville, Minnesota. I'll do a little research next to the racks. See, you know, it racks us. No, it's like a shitty Arby's. Okay. We used to go there. Oh, a shitty Arby's? That's called Arby's Jenny. Arby's is the greatest. It's really bad. Speaking of weird presentations at museums and things, the Science Museum in Boston used to have, they still may have it. I haven't been there in a while, but they have a wing, the old wing of the museum. And it's a lot of taxidermied animals. Yeah. And there's a moose. And there's an interactive element to the display where you press a button. Yeah. And you can smell the moose. No! It's in moose mosque. What does a moose smell like? Here you go. Oh, that's disgusting. Is it still there? The last time I was there, I went on a date with a girl at the Science Museum. I was like 21 or 22 years old. It was not fun. I think she was not amused. And there was a thing where you can pull out these fake guts out of a, out of a person's stomach to show you how long your guts are. That sounds amazing. She did not think it was fun. Yeah. But that was the last time I was there. Dating a bunch of squares. Yeah. I know. I'm like, Hey, why don't you smell this moose? She's like, I'm this dates over. You picked a TV guide from May 30th to June 5th, 1998, which is the year I graduated high school. What drew you to this edition? Frank Sinatra was on the cover. Old blue eyes. And that's when he, he died that year, right? Great week for me. I hate Frank Sinatra. Why? I danced in the streets when he died. I love him. He's a piece of shit. I'm sure he's a piece of shit. I'm sure he's a horrible person, but I still like his art. Enjoy his music. I enjoy his music. I never liked his acquaintances. I went through a stage where I thought I was gonna be in the mafia. I literally, I don't, I feel like it's every Italian person's desires. That whole like, my ionization of the mafia is so weird to me. I hate mafia movies. I don't like any. I hate it. I hate it. The guy father is so good. Do not like the godfather. I just don't care about it. You just don't like anything I stand for? No. I mean, growing up, my, my uncle's definitely interacted with a lot of those guys. So I was. Well, that's scary. That's terrible. I was just like, these guys are a piece of shit. Like, what a bunch of losers. What about the movie mafia? Mafia. National Lampoon's Mafia. Yeah. I don't think I've seen that. It's so good. I've seen loaded weapon one. That is a good one too. Yeah. Oh, I love all those movies. Do you really? Hot shots, for instance. But Charlie Sheen. Yeah. Oh, I love those movies. Yeah. I've not, I saw both Hot Shots films in the theater and I've not revisited them. Both Valerio Galino was in that movie. Who's awesome? That one. She's in Big Top Peewee. She's in Rain Man. I can't watch Peewee. Why can't you watch Peewee? Why? Because of the truck driver scene. I mean, you know my thing was odd. Yeah, large, large, large terrifies you. Yeah. Jenny knows that issue with eyes. We did a segment on my secret menu show called TV Casualty and Jenny was very terrified by the movie Dolls. The Charles Bands. They take their eyes. It's tipped. We saw it and we revisited and everyone was truly unhappy about it. Yeah. No, it was unsavory to say the least. So you were drawn to this because of Frank Sinatra on the cover. You're a fan of Frank Sinatra. It's a young Frank Sinatra. I like young Frank Sinatra. Old Caesar haircut, Frank Sinatra. No, not like a... He's a good figure of fun. I enjoy laughing at him. I hated the whole 90s rat pack revival. They're so cool. We're ringing ding ding ding bullshit. That drove me insane. I don't know. Did you ever watch the Dean Martin show? Yes. Not the Dean Martin show. The show was nowhere. No, he was a spy. There was a movie. I think two or three movies where he was a spy. I didn't believe it. I didn't mind Dean Martin that much because Dean Martin was kind of like, I don't want to draw a piece of shit. Whatever. I'm alone in it. He did. He didn't own it. Fair enough. And he had his own career outside of the rat pack. He was his own man to a degree. This was Frankie. Frankie was outside the rat pack. Well, yeah, but he was all like, this is my gang. I'm charged here. Boom, boom, boom, whatever he says. I'm going to make racist Jewish jokes about Sammy Davis Jr. and people like Joey fucking Bishop. Just what a worthless sack of people that was. That's just my opinion. I mean, I may be incorrect. It's just an opinion. It's not my it's just not my thing. I for myself, you'll see in the my TV selections, I'm attracted to things that are old. Me too. Things that are traditional. Me too. So to me, like the the rat pack is and as much as a feminist as I am, it's a very like manly like, we're fucking going out. I don't know what that was just like a town red. And I'm just like, oh, my heart took flutters. Like so weird. Like, as I like the 60s, I like the 50s. I often wear vintage suits of that era. Yes. I'm a big fan aesthetically of that era. And there's a lot of music and art and movies and stuff that I like, but I absolutely hate the rat. Like, I love Phil Silvers. He's one of my favorite people. Phil Silvers was, well, you don't know Phil Silvers. You'd love Phil Silvers. He was in Sergeant Bilco, which was one of my favorite sitcoms of all time. Yeah. Mad, mad, mad, mad world. But which one is he? He's the guy who is driving the car with the little Mexican kid, give you a dollar. And the kid's like $2. And he's like, $2. You ever seen Topcat? No, topcat? No, that's based on Phil Silvers. I'm trying to, I'm trying to like, I just seem like an old man in my head. Glasses. And he was, but he's, you love Phil Silvers. You got to check out Phil Silvers. I think his, his TV show was one of the most funny, complicated sitcoms of all time. It was, it was amazing. It's called The Phil Silvers Show. He played a character called Sergeant Bilco. It started as being called, you'll never get rich. Phil Silvers really like fucking with people. He hated Meltonboro, as everyone with a brain does, because there's a piece of shit if there ever was one. When there was, there was a funny anecdote where they were filming Mad, mad, mad, mad world. Yeah. And Phil Silvers was a chronic gambler. He played cards. He was, he had a real gambling problem. He, they weren't a lot known with a lot of watch dailies. And so he was, I don't know why. But he goes, uh, hey, you guys want to bet me some money? I can make Melton call his agent. And they're like, yeah, right? You're not gonna, no way. He's like, all right. So they're getting made up and Phil Silvers starts talking to everyone else. Like, I thought in the dailies yesterday, you looked really good. Like that seems really great. And he sees, uh, bro, run outside and get on his phone with the agent and be like, how come I'm not seeing these fucking dailies? And so he was like, that'll be $20. Please. Phil Silvers is the best. Yeah, that's, that's, he's a steamer. Yeah. Um, so Saturday night, eight o'clock, what'd you go with? So my first choice, eight p.m. As I have two choices, eight p.m. If my brothers and they were watching Dr. Quinn medicine woman, because he has such a boner for her, for Dr. Quinn, the character or the actress, the actress, Jane Seymour, Jane Seymour, former Bond girl. Yes. Very tractively. He would have totally been into her shows of breasts and wedding crashes. Does she? Yes, she does. I don't really care for that movie. Not any either. Um, you're brother probably did. Oh, he was probably Jonesy for that. So he would just be like, we gotta watch Dr. Quinn medicine woman. And you were like, I know he's got a boner for this or just be like, I love it. I was just like, fine, whatever. How old was he? Um, let me think he's born in 73, 98, he was. Oh, so he's, he's like 25. Yeah. So he's 25 years old. And he's like, I love me that front. Yeah. But that's, I mean, I'm 27. I still watch people specifically because I'm attracted to them. Okay. Yeah. I think we all do. Yeah. So this particular episode, Mike helps Sully recover from his injuries and a plan is formulated to keep him hidden from the army. Well, that sounds boring. Yeah. You know, I've never seen an episode of Dr. Quinn medicine woman. I don't think I've ever paid attention. Do it. It's just me. It was just old Zugrino that's going to be Antiques Roadshow. I absolutely would always watch it. I still watch the Antiques Roadshow weekly. I used to intern there. Did you really? I interned the Antiques Roadshow. It was. Yeah. Because it's a G.B WGBH production. Yeah. So it's like part of my college thing. And they had this great, they had this wall of like crazy things people would send them, like pictures. And there was one and I photocopied about 12 photos of this guy. He was this guy that had like a bull cut on his head and he had it. Well, I'm glad you specified it was on his head. It wasn't. It was like, like you just carried on bull cuts by this blonde bull cut. And it was when a track suit and he took a glamor shots with his mannequin in a wheelchair. Nice. And he was like, would send be like, this is my mannequin. That's terrifying. It was terrifying. There is a movie, a Canadian horror film from the late 80s called Pin, a plastic nightmare that is about an anatomically correct mannequin and child abuse. And it is one of the most disturbing movies I've ever seen. It's very flowers in the attic, but with the addition of a mannequin, like a giant visible man. Oh, that sounds horrific. That sort of reminds me of this. I already am thinking about what this could be. I don't want to see it. I mean, my wife, watch it once and she was a little happy. Did you ever meet Lowry, the, the print expert on? No, he's my favorite guy. My, I think my favorite guy is the, so I used to watch the, the, what I called the British one. No, no, no. All the British was so fucking boring. I still work it. I love Mark out while break. He used to host a show called, it wasn't supermarket sweep. It was called, oh man, it was on the lifetime network and you were in a mall. I can't remember that. So I used to watch, I could, I'll call them dailies. They're not called dailies. Shout out to the drop. Really? Yeah. It sounds horrible, but he and the, let's, I forgot all these names. The twins? No, not the twins. Twins are pretty great, but he's a, he always does like the special things with them when they're like, we're in San Diego. We're going to go to this museum. Okay, gray hair, glasses, Gary Summers. I think so, yeah with him. Ponytail? No, Gary Summers is the guitar guy who I really. No, Gary Summers is the pop culture guy. Well, he does guitars. Oh, does he? Okay. So he, he did that. He did a, um, a Beatles butcher cover. Yeah. That was worth like 15 grand as someone found in, uh, attic. Nice. Um, I'll tell you my favorite story. Okay. Takes it in a second, but I like the jeweler, the father, son, jeweler. Oh, yes. The, the guy with the old, the classic old man Boston accent. Oh my God. Yes. So you might see this and he might make you laugh. Yeah. I guess just the bushes face like growing. So, so this is my favorite one is a woman brought in this golden headband and she's like, I found this in a junk drawer of someone. I was doing something and he's looking over and he's like, okay, first thing is that this is 24 karat gold. She's like, she's like, whoa, that's really great. And he's like, second thing is that these, they're like people dancing on it. And he's like, these characters, um, they were, uh, they're all hand hammered, which takes a really long time. It's really hard to do. Yeah. It's like, that's so great. And he's like, third thing, this is over 2,000 years old. What? Yeah. And he's like, she's like, what? And I guess it was like this headband, the Romans would wear. He's like Zeus. This is Zeus. This belonged to Zeus. So it was his headband. And he was like, you need to put this in a museum right now. But it was like, how much was it worth? 12 grand. Only 12 grand. 12 grand. A lot of money. For you, maybe. You see my house? 12 grand. Say that. My couch. What I could do with 12 grand. Not in New York. Is that your favorite story? That's my favorite one. That's pretty good one. There was another one. I used, also, I got to pick what would be shown at the end. Oh, nice. Oh, the people who were like, we brought in this and it's not worth nothing, but we had a great time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There was one, there was one woman who like brought in her mother's hats and started crying. And I was like, that didn't. I always like when people were like, well, this was given to me by my mother. She said it was, in fact, George Washington's telephone and I'll be like, this is not real. Yeah. Well, that is your opinion. Yeah. I love Antiques Roadshow. I watched it with my dad. We would guess bet on what, how much it was worth. I always won. I'm very good at appraising things. I think I could be an appraiser. I'd like to do it. Well, you know, I send it to my resumes, but they're like, no, we have enough. And I'm like, well, what if it's been shame or something bad happened to some of your experts? Maybe they got bumped off of something. Yeah. Some of those antique Chester drawers. Yeah. Notice you're working with an antique katana blade there. Be a real shame if you happen to slip and fall on that. What if you refinished one of the pieces of furniture? Like that was your way to get back right? Or I was like, maybe I'll refinish these skin stupid, varnish, stain it. See, I will wash that. That would be a great mafia movie. I'm like, finish your repairman. Just like the dealer. Yeah. I replaced his hardware with ivory, human ivory. Oh my God. Wow. This is going to a dark place, Jenny. So nine o'clock, what'd you go with? I forgot. Was it South Park at nine or was Conan at nine? Oh, on Comedy Central? Yeah. So they would do the reruns. I don't know. Where's so Comedy Central? We have comics come home three, which in Ingarafolo and Margaret Cho. I might have been watching that. Yeah, I probably would have watched that at the time. I was 18 years old. I was I was big into the standup comedy at the time, but the sci-fi channel was showing the movie hackers. Oh, I don't know, hackers. Really? You strike me a song would be really into the movie. I know slackers. Slackers is the is the is the sequel to hackers. No, it's not. No, it is not. I could have gone further and believed you. Jason Schwartzman made the hit at all. That's great. Yeah. And Mike Murato was big Pete is in that movie. Really? Yeah. I've tree watched that. Yeah. Slackers. I that was a little that guy who was in it. The lead guy. Oh, he was in Casper and he was in Idle Hands. I loved Idle Hands. It was a Russian lesson, I think. No, it's Devin Sawyer or something like that? I thought he's Russian or something. I don't think he's Russian. Jenny's half Italian, half Russian. Everyone's Russian. I'm in no way Russian. You're Italian? Yes, you passed that up. But you're watching an hour of South Park or Conan? Yeah, I didn't forget what time those were at, but I'm either watching Conan or South Park. My brother was-- Conan's on a ten. Okay, so 10 o'clock I'm watching Conan. And it's not Conan O'Brien. What is, Conan the Barbarian? Conan the Barbarian. I probably still be watching that because my brother loved Conan the Barbarian. Because it was the late show with Conan O'Brien. So this was Conan. Oh, that's why I couldn't find it. I was like, why is Conan only showing one? No, this is the other Conan. Yeah, I'm sure you're not alone in making that mistake. I still want to watch Conan the Barbarian. Fair enough. There was a great Conan the Barbarian cartoon on in the mid to late 90s and it's the first place I ever heard of pomegranates. Really? Yeah, there was a Phoenix bird that used to have three pomegranates. That only ate pomegranates. Yeah. I remember that. That was a good show. You're a world traveler. I truly am. So Sunday night, eight o'clock, what'd you go with? High anxiety. Melbrook. Melbrook's movie. Yeah. Now, this is sacrilege. Why? But I'm not that into Melbrook's comedies. I know. That's right. I know. I love Melbrook's as a person. Why don't you like his comedies? They're a little too broad for me. I don't like his true world part one. Silent movie. High anxiety. I don't like pastiche movies. Robin Hood Men and Tights is the only movie I ever walked out on in the theater. Really? Because it was so bad. It was kind of stupid, but I liked it. It was so stupid. I liked space balls. What about them? Like glaze and saddles. I like the producers. Okay, producers. I like the producers, but I'm not quite crazy for it. Producers is, I think, his best movie and it's the least, I don't know if it's the least broad, but it's not that Mad Magazine national and coon type humor that he kind of adopted later. I feel, I think for me, my favorites were producer Frankenstein. I say, I really loved his for the world. I mean, he's produced the fly. He produced the elephant man. Yeah, he's produced some amazing movies. Him as a person fascinates me. His story is incredible and he's really funny and smart. I want him to be my grandfather. You all want him to be. I want to sit and have Sabbath by him and just. I'd convert to Judaism to be related to him, although I think you know what I'd pick over him? Halindon. Halindon. I know the name so well. He was Barney Miller. Okay. Yeah, I would pick him to be to be my teacher. No, I'd still go for it. Fair enough. Fair enough. So you're watching them all night. I'm watching them all night. All right, fair enough. But I will say during commercials, I'm probably going to switch to other things. So like what? Daria. So Daria, yeah, that was on frequently. A show that was better than its original because it's a spinoff of Beavis the Butthad. I think it was a better show. Also, the brother was so hot. You enjoyed a cartoon brother. Oh, I love the cartoon brother. He was such a big. Were there any other cartoons that you found attractive? Well, I think. From Anastasia. Okay. The Dimitri. Oh, very nice. He was a handsome man. I would have gone on the movie at this time as well. What movie did you go on? I would have watched on FX the Jim Carrey vehicle once bitten. I don't know. Oh, what's been? Oh my god. I remember that one from the vampire and he's wearing a little fig leaf. Yes, the first movie I ever heard the word virgin. I remember that movie. Yes, it's not a bad movie. They give it one star. It says, "Lornth Hutton is a vampire proling Los Angeles for a male virgin whose blood will preserve her." Which Jim Carrey, it gave high anxiety three stars. Remember the scene where the meat, the mom's cooking the meat? Yes, and he's the raw meat. Yes, it's a funny movie. There's, if you're in any way interested in learning about how Hollywood can ruin something, the guy who wrote once bitten wrote this great article about how he wrote this movie and what the movie he wrote turned into when they made it. And so you see how Hollywood kind of ruined something and this fascinating sad story where he wrote the movie once bitten. It got made. He was working at a suncoast video and when the movie came out on video and the co-workers would always put it on and make fun of him. And so he'd be vacuuming the carpet at suncoast and the mall and people would be like, "Hey, is that so wrote this fucking movie?" And it's really good. Did he not have an agent for it? Did he not have an agent? I don't know. Good representation. Yeah, we should Google the writer of once bitten the story. It's a really well-written, fascinating, sad, but interesting story. We've ever seen them. There's a really great documentary on ego going to your head is "Over night." Yes. "Over night" about Duffy. What a fucking piece of shit that guy is. My film did used to make us watch that. We watched it twice. You should. That's a cautionary tale that everyone should write in. The Boondock Saints is a shitty, shitty, shitty movie. People like it are the ones that are like, "Ah, fucking Boston, man." I fucking got the tribal symbol for "Fuck You Queer" on my fucking back. Yeah, I- Oh, I use the wrote them every day, but I'm gonna beat women and we're gonna beat lesbians. But that's another thing. I hate making make mob movies just as much as regular mob movies, if not more. Make mobs, they're just sad. I mean, having grown up here, I hate nothing more than just the pride of being a shitbag. What was the other make mob movie? Did the parted, Southie, Monument Ave. There's a ton of them. One of my screenwriting teachers wrote "Southie," and he told me the same thing I've been to him where he had written this great screenplay, and he was like completely disgusted with what they did with it. I mean, I think one thing is probably everyone says that about their screenplay, because you wrote a movie called "Southie" about shitbags and "Southie." Hey, you know what? Probably not gonna be a good movie, regardless of what you do. You've written a two-hour Spencer for Higher episode, at best. But yeah, I just don't care- like, I don't care about heroin dealers and South Boston in their story. What do you mean? That's the working class. What do I get on? And I just know so many people that grew up in Charlestown, and were just like, "Yeah, it is what we do, isn't it? It's tough. This is a hard life." It's embarrassing, awful, and the people who feel the need to sort of live up to that stereotype as like their whole identity is just the worst. What about good little hunting, is that your kind of story? See, I actually love that movie, and I actually really enjoy all the movie's Ben's Tiller as director. Ben Stiller. Ben Affleck. I like Ben Stiller's direction. I actually really like Ben Affleck as a lot of shit. Ben Affleck, who gives Ben Affleck shit? Why would you give a shit? No, Ben Affleck just got a lot of shit for being Ben Affleck. I think he's great. A voice of the maybe. Greatest. Very good program showed to children in school. Greatest achievement of his life. He's a good actor. He's funny. He's a nice guy. Great director. I loved every movie he's directed. I've loved. I thought one of the movies he didn't get enough credit for was Hollywood Land. Yes, he's great in that movie. No one liked that. That movie. I thought it was a good movie. That movie was great. That's a movie about George Reeves' suicide, and he's great in it. Here's a funny George Reeves' suicide story. I was at Stop and Shop here in the time that I live in, which some people call Stoppies. Stoppies? No one calls it that. My mom goes, "What is it? Shop and Stop." Shop and Stop. I always want to know what it is. Shop and Stop. Shop and Stop. She deserves to go to Shop and Stop. I was in there and I had a Justice League of America track suit. Speaking of pieces of shit. I'm checking out, and there's this 60-year-old woman, and her bad boy is this Hispanic kid with a great mustache. She's maybe 19, and he goes, "Oh, I really love your top, sir." I go, "Thank you," and he goes, "Shila, did you see the gentleman's top? It's the Justice League of America. Of course, when you're a child, you would have known them as the super friends." It's fantastic, right? She's like, "Nah, nah, nah." She actually goes, "How about we don't talk for 10 minutes?" She just had enough of him. Then she goes... He probably knows that she hates... Oh, yeah. Then he goes, "I did like that George Reeves superman. Yeah, he was a good looking guy." Then she goes, he waits a beat, and she goes, "You shot himself right in the head." And I was like, "Wow, this has gone to a strange place, but yeah, that should have been... They should have filmed that as a post-script. A post-credit sequence of that scene would have been great. She should have just been that interesting. So, bedively, he's a great drawer. I love Gone Baby. Gone was... Gone Baby Gone to me is the most accurate depiction of Boston on film I have ever seen. I just feel like with the whole J-lo thing, he got a lot of shit. Yeah, why? I met him a couple times. He was dating this girl that I worked with. He was super handsome. He was super handsome, and I don't look anything like Ben Affleck, and he's in very good shape, but I'm like roughly somewhere height and somewhat, and so when he was dating this girl I worked with, we had paparazzi hanging on outside the office all the time. So I would go out the door with my jacket over my head, and they'd jump out of their cars to start taking pictures, and then I'd unzip my jacket, and just shake my head. Let's go, hey! Well, I got sworn out so much. Yeah, he came to the comedy studio one night, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. It was great. There was like four people there, and he was watching the show, tipped everybody $100, so it was very nice. All the comedians? He was very, very generous. It seems like a good guy. I want to voyage his me me. You know what I mean? Well, we'd all voyage his me. You know what I mean? I'm going to kill a rabbit and make him uncomfortable. Because you're pregnant? No! In the voyage of the me me they kill a rabbit. Whatever. But if you did a rabbit test, the rabbit died. That wouldn't make him uncomfortable. Or boil his rabbit like a fatal attraction. Do you ever see fatal attraction? Oh, no, no. I won't be ignored. Maybe I'll, um, I don't think I'm more of the roses. Yeah, fair enough. Eight o'clock, would you go off on Monday? I forget, no. Definitely America's write some videos. It was, they moved this by 1998 to Monday nights from Sunday for a short period. This was when Daisy Fuentes was the host of the show. Oh, yeah. Before Tom Bergeron took over. This is when it was like in the new studio, right? Yes, and they did the SCA version of the theme song. Well, it couldn't last too long. I loved Daisy Fuentes. I was a big MTV Beach House fan, and I was a big Daisy Fuentes fan. I would watch this if I knew it was the Buff Saggot one. I don't know if I would have watched Daisy Fuentes. I watched the Buff Saggot. You know, I've watched every era of America's Funny Somebodies. I still watch it now. Uh, Tom Bergeron stepping down this year. Oh, that still is odd. Yeah, it's great show. It's always funny. It makes me laugh more than any other show that I watch. I, I am not a shame to admit it. They are funny. It's, that's first YouTube was America's funny video. Absolutely. Um, so this night, Nicket Knight is doing a Brady Bunch marathon. So I probably would have tuned into that and I just had it on the background, especially when I was 18. So why, why would you have watched the Brady Bunch marathon? Because I really enjoyed the Brady Bunch. Yeah, but at nine o'clock, Nicket's Roadshow is going to be on. It will be back on. I, I probably would have flipped around, but this night they aired the failed redo of the love boat. This was- I remember that coming out. Really awful. And this was a divorced couple traveling with new paramores, has a tough time trying not to rekindle their passion for each other. Uh-oh. And engaged anthropologists, one of them is played by Will Wheaton, both virgins decide to acquire some carnal knowledge. Anthropologists, you know? I haven't finished yet. Okay. Acquire some carnal knowledge with other partners before taking the plunge. What? And Locke Voorhees of Say by the Bell is in this episode. Oh, but that's extra weird. So that first of all, they're anthropologists. They're virgins. This is two nights in a row. We've come up with virgins and things. Okay, for instance, that's not true. No anthropologists' virgins. They're the whores of the- Are they? Of the history. Whatever. Is that true? Whatever. Are you trying to spread? Well, there's studying- there's studying people and cultures and stuff. And they have to do it. So they're just going to do it. Speaking of crime movies, Shot in Boston, there is a movie called Night School that is about a murderous anthropologist. Really? Yes, a hand-hunting anthropologist shot in Boston. See that? I can see that. Yeah, it's from 1980. It's a pretty entertaining brutal movie. But yeah, so they're virgins and they're engaged, but they're like, hey, not only are we going to lose our virginity, but we're going to do it with other people before we get married? Yeah, so ridiculous. No other cultures would do that. They study other cultures. Shouldn't that somehow go into their practice of like, okay, you know, these cultures lose their virginity this way? Wouldn't it be like a magical thing for them? Do you think there are people who just study how different cultures lose their virginity? I'm sure there are. Do you think there's a cultural thing? Why saw this great TED talk about them? Oh, that's a phrase I hope to never say. Please continue. Go die. But no, it's about sexuality and about how people are actually hardwired to have multiple sexual partners. You know who would do that talk? Someone with no morals. No, a horny fucking loser. No, no, but he says it in a way that like people are like, people are supposed to eat meat, but they're vegetarians. So, but you're not going to, so there is monogamy, but this whole idea of it comes from agriculture and this idea of property. This is a guy who's trying to justify sleeping around on his neck. No, no, no, he said it for women. No, I could have studied it. He said it for women that in some cultures that are that don't have connections with the Western culture or any cultures except theirs is that the women will be like, okay, what that guy sends a humor. I want that guy's look. So, I want that guy's feet and then all those dudes will have sex with her and that baby is thought to be put out a product of all that's not how that works, but they don't know that. That's not how that works. They don't know that. That's the only reason why we have the thing with virginity is because of religion. So, yeah, but what you've just described is actually how Freddy Krueger was conceived. The bastard son of a thousand million. Oh, no way. Yes, yes. His mother was a nun who was locked over the weekend in the insane asylum and all of the inmates had sex with her. And she's the bastard son of a thousand million ex. Maybe that is how maybe that's why our Western culture sucks so much is because that is actually how it's supposed to be done. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Just having like one semen and one egg is sick. I don't know what just one dad. I can only imagine how horrific it would be if I had several. I don't think how great you would have been with several. No, you've never met my dad. You might meet him after driving to the airport later today. He might show up before we're done and then then you'll know. Okay. Nine o'clock would you go with because you're watching an hour of America's Funniest Home videos. I'm watching a Teaks Roadshow at night. Nine o'clock said twice in one week. We're still on Monday, right? Yeah, twice in one week. Oh, yeah. This is part one of two appraisals from Pittsburgh include a parasol that has been used in Queen Victoria's Coronation Ceremonies in 1837 in a silver libation set. Why would I want to see that? Yeah, it sounds amazing. I would watch that at nine o'clock for sure. And you have to do the Queen Elizabeth. I'm all in. And then at 10 o'clock though, I'd watch Road Rules. Road Rules I watched, but I had kind of checked out by this point. I like the first couple seasons of Road Rules. I like to buy the real world. I thought it was better than real world as well. One thing that was on 10.30 was Bobcat's Bigass Show. And this was Bobcat Goldthwaite's variety show that was on FX for a very short time. I don't know that one as well. It was a great, great show. It was a game show, variety show. It was one of the first things I remember watching on FX and it didn't last very long. This is Bobcat Goldthwaite hosts this offbeat variety series in which the audience is invited to participate in Madcap Stones. I'm not a great description, but a really farm show. I really enjoyed that show. Road Rules that night, it does not give me a description of here other than it says the crew works in ER shift. Let me guess. People fight someone's fucks. Yeah. But that didn't used to be how it was until like their early 2000s. It was still a little more interesting before them. They didn't purposely cast people just to be like hormone machines. I still remember the infamous slap heard around the world. We all do. I saw her on the train once. Really? Yeah, there wasn't a Seattle cast. She had Lyme disease and had to leave the show. Yeah, she was going to school in Boston. Yeah, well, she also was crazy and slapping people. She had Lyme disease. That doesn't mean she can slap people. That kid called her a bitch. Whatever. She was justified. I don't think she's just. The kid David from that series is from Charlestown Mass and grew up with a bunch of people that I know speaking of ship back from Boston. No, I've heard he's a nice guy. I've not seen him. Okay. It really changed your tune there. Shipbacks. I hear some really. Yeah, I don't know. There are a lot of shipbacks from that, but I don't think he's one of them, but he could be. I don't know. He didn't slap anyone. And there's a clip from that season of Road Rules in 10 Things I Hate About You. They're watching that series. Oh, yeah. And when I saw that movie in the theater, which I did, I saw the theater too. I loved it, but I was annoyed because I'm like, it's 1999. And they're watching clips from last year's Road Rules. And bullshit. And then the girl I was with was like, I need to go to the bathroom. Goodbye. Did she leave? No. The Black Underwear thing still is like ingrained in my head that if I buy Black Underwear means I don't want to get some. That's how I do it. I enjoyed the 10 Things I Hate About You TV series. That was on a couple of years ago. It was pretty good. That's a good movie. It's an underrated movie. It's okay. Come on. What's your favorite 90s teen movie? Down to you. She's all that. No, I didn't like any of the 90s teen movies. Really? Yeah. What about Can't Hardly Wait? No, I don't like any of those things. I liked the scary movies. That was the 90s, right? Ooh, scary movie. Well, this is because I like the dumb humor. I like dumb rumors. We wanted Tuesday night at eight o'clock. What'd you go with? And I'm Novo. We're watching Novo. You're watching Novo on PBS. This episode of Novo, I do not see a description of let me just double check. I don't know what this Novo was about, but did you frequently watch Novo? Yeah. My mom still tapes Novo for me. Really? Yeah, she still makes me watch it. Interesting. I probably this time would have watched a sitcom called Soul Man, which starred Dan Aykroyd as a priest. Oh no. Is that like a bad father 10? Sort of. Father 10's a great show. This was not in the same realm as Father 10, because I loved Dan Aykroyd. And also, normally I would have watched Mad About You, which is terrible. I hated him. That's the most underrated sitcom of the 90s. I hate Paul Reiser. Really? He's so funny. I just don't like his face. They're just don't like his voice. He's so funny at a talented musician. His stand-up was great. He's great movie. Have you ever seen Diner? Nobody here. That's the thing I need to watch. He's a great asshole and aliens. He's the villain. I don't know. I like Paul Reiser. That was a repeat, so I would have gotten a Soul Man. So you're watching an hour of Nova, so you don't need to pick anything at 8.30. I want to go on news radio. Probably my other favorite singer on the news radio. I didn't like my news radio. Great show. 9 o'clock, what do you go with? Monty Python. That's a good move. Yeah, that's two hours. Yeah, it is. It's four episodes in a row. Oh my god, I'd be so psyched. I used to watch that. When Comedy Central, I think kind of first came out. They were showing reruns of it. Sometimes. So Comedy Central. When I was super young, I used to watch it. So in 1989, there was two comedy channels. There was the Comedy Channel. What was the other one? And Ha. Ha, okay. So actually, the Comedy Channel, when it first came out, was called CTV. Yes. And they got sued because there was a Canadian network under that name. So they changed it to the Comedy Channel. Yes. Ha was the network that aired a lot of the old Saturday Night Lives. The original Comedy Channel's format was basically Comedy MTV. So they had VJs who would do two or three hour blocks and they would show clips from all sorts of stand-up and comedy shows and sketches from Monty Python and that sort of thing. Then the two networks merged and became Comedy Central. Yeah. So beginning of Comedy Central, I remember watching Monty Python. Probably being like five or six. Yes. And they're doing a marathon here because it's PBS doing a fundraiser. Fundraising? Oh, yeah. So that's when they bust out the programming everybody wants to watch. Yeah. I'd be super, super pumped about that. So I'm watching that all night. And I think that's good. That's a good move. Yeah. I at nine o'clock, however, would have gone with Forever Night, an hour long show about a vampire cop. Oh my god. That came out. It was based on a made-for-TV movie starring Rick Springfield. Oh my god. Yeah. Wednesday night, eight o'clock, what'd you get with? Third Rock from the Sun. I never liked the show. You know what I like? First of all, I think John Lithgow. I think what John Lithgow's got is awesome. And Joseph Gordon Levitt. Joseph Gordon Levitt. Joseph Gordon Levitt at the time, we used to watch it together with my sister. And they looked alike. So we would always tease her. He looked like your sister. He had like the long hair. Well, he's also in 10 things I hate about you. Oh, yeah, he is. Yeah. But they look similar. So we would be like, "Saw shoots you!" So you wouldn't watch that straight just for fuel to make fun of your sister. Yeah, she was mean to me. She used to call me the territorial of death, which makes no sense. It means nothing. It means nothing. But it used to drive me nuts. Like I would beat her. You, you guys physically fought. Oh my god. Yeah. I never physically fought with my sister. First, I remember the first time I ever hit her, I was too face with a high-heeled shoe. Nice. Oh, you could have got a high out. Right there, right in the middle of forehead. That's how Jennifer Jason Lee got killed in single white female. Yeah, I do. I was single white female in it. Single white female there. And because she wouldn't play the guy, she wanted me to play the guy. And I was like, "I'm not playing the guy." And what? In our like, pretend house. You would do pictures now. I was like two and a half, maybe three. Is that a thing that kids do? Yeah. That's weird. It's not weird. It's a little strange. I was the wife. And what would you do? Like, hum home for dinner, honey, make me the dinner. We would just play. Kids play. I don't know if you know this. So what kids do? Kids have fun. I was watching television. I don't know how to mention that. Yeah, I know. When you're about two or three, and you have a sibling, you're usually playing with them. I never talked to my sister. We didn't play together. We really didn't. Yeah, it's weird when I look back on my childhood memory. She's none of them. Really? Yeah, like, I always forget that I, like, I feel like an only child. Oh. It's very weird. So I would not have watched that. I absolutely would have watched Spin City at 8 o'clock, which was probably, again, those were probably my top three 90s sitcoms. Spin City was the radio one. No, that's News Radio. That's News Radio. Spin City is with Michael J. Fox. He's the deputy man. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a very funny show. Your episode of Third Rock from the Sun is Dick Long for the chance to administer his, quote, "unique brand of jurisprudence" when he's called for jury duty. Sally falls for an artist. I think I remember this one. Yes. Vaguely. I tried to watch it because Jane Curtain was on it. Yeah. Who I liked and loved Kate and Allie, and I just couldn't. It was just so silly. I couldn't. I love it. I love Silly Dumber. Silly for me. Spin City, much, much more fun show and a better written show. But, hey, different strokes. Not at this time. 8.30, what'd you go with? I want to go for the 8.30. Nothing. Yeah. I just did 8, 9, and 10. So you were like, after Third Rock from the Sun, I just need to sit in silence for 30 minutes because of Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Well, it'd be on Comedy Central this time. Comedy Central, there was a comedy special with Brett Butler. Stand-up special with Gideon Brett Butler. Man, I might have watched just have been like a, you know, I probably would have been eating something at this point. I would have been torn between working, which was the Fred Savage sitcom. Okay. And this was a big deal episode of working because Danica McKellar was having a guest appearance, and this was the first time that Winnie Cooper and, uh, yes, the way they were reunited. This was a big deal. This was buttoned down, Matt, is cajoled by his bar-hopping co-workers to loosen up. So it responds by picking up a cumbly seductress, played by Danica McKellar. A cumbly seductress. Can you measure what that was like? You were a real cumbly seductress. Would you be like, I am not a police. I probably would have been like, hey, that's really insulting, but I like it. But let's go. Let's go. Call the cumbly. All right. Or I would have watched Harmon and Greg because I really liked him. Oh, no. I, you know, I watched Harmon and Greg a few times. I just, I didn't like the guy. He was very... Yeah. Someone told me I looked like him. I know it was a security guard and a job that I had. And he's like, every time I see you, it's because the guy's on, um, one of the law and order shows or something now. Oh, he's on, I think he's on criminal lines. Criminal lines. Yes. That's what it is. And the guy goes, yeah. Hey, man, every time I see you or like your hair when you close, I just think you're like that guy from criminal minds. Nine o'clock. What'd you go with? We're still on Wednesday. I would have watched, um, some videos on MTV. You would, you would have forsaken the Drew Carey Show. I didn't like the Drew Carey Show. It's very funny. You don't enjoy it. I think now I would have enjoyed it, but then I was like, I don't like Cleveland. I don't relate to his guy. I did like the, you know, I liked, um, the tall guy because he was on Who's Line. Yes. Yeah. And I loved, I loved Who's Line. Yeah. I used to watch, you were, you pretty much just watched Comedy Central. When I was kids, I loved kids. Yeah. I, I get obsessive about things and like, I was sick to one thing. I don't know what that would be like. Well, you know, the feeling of like, so you'll really, where if one things make you, makes you happy, you're like, you're like, why would I do anything else? Yeah. Yeah. So I would binge on what it makes me happy. And then when I'm done, I throw it away. Yeah. Much like, man, well, that's how I handle men too. Drew Carey this night was Drew and Kate win a trip to the Bahamas and Oswald's jealous when he learns that they'll be staying in the same room. And that Drew has always harbored feelings for Kate. Love triangle. 930. What'd you go? Oh, 930. I'm looking again. I'm going to do the hour things. So you had Tim Allen's Comedy special, which you could not pay me to watch. I hate Tim Allen's comedy, maybe more than anything else. You like how I'm proven? No. Oh, God. No. Do you really think Tim Allen's funny? No, but I still, you know, I, you know, I think I had a crush on me. Damn. No, no, no. I'm the bearded partner. Wilson. Oh, no, Al. I had a crush on Al. Did you use to watch family feud with Al? No, but yeah, I used to watch Richard. Richard Carr. I used to watch him to get like, I think I always liked Beards as a kid. Really? The Red Green Show? Oh, the Canadian Red Green Show. I used to watch that. I would love that one. Why do you like about Beards? I don't know. You know, and I do, I do know because from age one to three, my father had a beard. So you're trying to. So that's just, that's just ingrained in my brain. It's a little bit adipose. Just a little bit of like, yeah, a little bit. Isn't that itchy and gross? No, no, once you get too stubble as much as you get to like a good length, it's just. What's, is there such a thing as a quote good length? Yeah, and then it's, then it's soft. It's not. But don't they look like I'm a man or like, that's what I like. Really? I like man. I have real trouble being non-clean shaven. Really? My hair grows like a friggin, it's like steel wool. It's awful. I feel like a beard, just like a chain, it's just completely 100% changes the person. I'm like, will you hide? They're face. They're face. What's the only face? That's what I was. Maybe they got scars. They didn't got scars and then want to hide them. Well, you know what? I wear my scars probably. I have one large scar on my upper lip. From what? A kid across the street from me threw me off a two-story building and I landed on a nail. A nail went right through my face. This kid, Peter Burke, he threw me off their fire escape. I was maybe six or seven years old. Oh my god. Yeah, they were doing construction on their house and a shingle nail went right through my, right through my filtrum, which is the little divot right under, right under your nose. Could have gone on my eye, could have gone anywhere, but that's where it landed. I feel like, I feel bad for parents because kids do shit like that. You know what I mean? Like, oh yeah. That's why, that's why people with kids are nuts is because they have to deal with awfulness of children. Awfulness, the awfulness of their children. Yeah. Oh, I, I mean, I remember I used to have really bad impulse control as a small child. This is a terrible story that won't make me look good at all. But I was, it was, it went over the Murphy's house, who were my neighbors. Yeah. To see if Robin Murphy wanted to come out and play, who was the one roughly my age. And there was another girl in our neighborhood named Kristi Trider, who was also there to see if, I must have been, I don't know, four or five years old. I feel you punch someone. Oh no, it's worse than that. So we're waiting for them to answer the door and there's a trowel. Yeah. And it was just in this pot and I remember thinking, I don't know what happened if I hit her in the face with this trowel. And I just picked it up and hit her in the face with his bleeding. And I was just like, oh, okay, that's what happens. It was very weird. Wow, that is, I don't have impulses like that now. Although I do, they're suppressed. They're probably suppressed. Yeah, I did push my infant sister off a couch once. I was just sitting on the couch watching TV and went, what happened if I just, you know, do you see the scar on my eyebrow? Yes. This forever was like, oh, and Jenny was two. She fell on a corner of a table and I had to get stitches. Yeah. But a year ago, my sister was like, oh, I pushed you. I'm sure she did. Yeah. I think that seems normal. And everyone was like, what? And they're like, yeah, she's like, yeah, I pushed her. It was a secret held for 25 years. Yeah. Yeah. I remember, I have another small scar on my face because we have this dog. It was a winer around named Barkley. Yeah. And I was probably five. My sister's maybe two or three and she used to punch it in the face and rip its hair out and like, because it's a top. I was eating oatmeal during Saturday morning cartoons. And I went into the kitchen to get some water and I came back and the dog was eating my oatmeal. So I kind of slapped it on the ass and said, no, and it attacked my face. Oh my god. It just mauled me. I've been bitten by dogs several times. I got attacked by a doberman. Oh my god. Oh my god. Yeah. Yeah. In your face. My shoulder. I was running down the street from my neighbor's house and that my other neighbor's dog, Damien, got out and he jumped and grabbed me on the shoulder and my dad ran out and kicked him in the face because it was shaking me. Oh my god. This thing had gone. Yeah. So my dad just booted this dog in the face. You know, I love that dog probably just lived for the next five years. Yeah. Oh no, nothing happened. Nothing happened to the dog. Nothing happened to the dog. So we're on Thursday night, eight o'clock. Okay. Oh wait, wait, can I just say what I would have watched at Wednesday 10 though? Oh yeah, sure. Austin Powers and then Love Line. Austin Powers was on TV. It was something I just know. Yeah, because the first Austin Powers came out in 90s. I loved Austin Powers with all my heart and soul. And then I would watch Love Line because I was obsessed with sex. I had no idea what it was. And I was like, I need to know everything about it. I listen to the Love Line radio show every single night. That was what I did. Every night from 10 to midnight, I listen to Love Line for years. I loved it. And I used to have a blank audio cassette next to my stereo in case anyone I knew called, I caught three people. You're weird. That is super weird. Copy the tapes for everybody. And when I was going to Northeastern at this time, there was a kid who this kid was like a fraddish dude. And I recognized his voice and said he went to call it. I taped the thing. And he was talking about how he wanted to. It was something really weird. It was like, I keep asking my girlfriend if I can like, it was like peanut butter or something. It was like something really weird thing. And he's like, I just think it'd be funny. I know, I'm like, this is gonna be funny. He was a real asshole. I was in, I got put in a group with him because the way that groups would work, they'd be like, who's not in a group? You're with Ken. That's what would happen. And so this kid said something I didn't like. And I was like, why don't you go pay your girlfriend's butt? Who told you about this? Who told you? And so I made copies of the tape for everybody. It was fantastic. Yeah. That is great. Loved it. Love Love Line. Thursday 8 p.m. I'm watching this old house. I still watch this old house every week. I wish I had a TV so I could watch more of these PBS. Hold on. You don't have a TV? I have a TV. What's wrong with you? We just do the internet thing. You can watch this old house on the internet. Yeah, but I just don't have time. Why don't you have a TV? You can get them cheap now. I know. I really want to get a smart TV where I can watch like YouTube and stuff. All TVs do that now. You buy any TV, it'll do that. Almost every flat screen TV has Wi-Fi. This is weird thing. We're called, I don't make a lot of money. But you're far more successful at comedy than you Jenny. Aren't you making tons of money? Oh no. No, because I have to pay out a lot of percentages. I don't see. That's why I don't have an agent or a manager. That's the only reason. There's no order. I'm in so much different. What if you get like a sugar daddy by ZTV? I thought about it. Yeah, like an old guy is going to kick him. I'm one of the oldest seeds in my neighborhood because I am Jewish so they could technically it would be okay. But is it all right for them to buy you technology? Yeah, seeds do technology. I thought, isn't there a day they don't? This, this Shabbos. Oh, Shabbos. So would you have to like hide the TV on that one? No, I can do whatever I want. He just can't bone me on the Shabbos. Oh, thank God. Yeah, no one wants that on the Shabbos. Give this a rest on the right. That's some brisket. Fair enough. So you're watching, I forget what you're even watching now because I'm imagining boning on the Shabbos. You don't bone it. You went with this old house. You went with this old house. Oh, this old house. Yeah, I probably would have watched that or I would have watched 1977 Sam Peckinpah movie called Cross of Iron. That's a great movie and that was on as well. It's a war movie, which I don't normally like, but this is Sam Peckinpah directed this harrowing story of the Russian front in 1945, told from the German's viewpoint. Oh, fuck the Germans. Yeah, we it's funny how, I mean, given what's going on in the world right now with the Russians, it's it's interesting. But I'm guessing that I just I'm like, I'm completely everyone's like, how can you do this? I'm like, of course. Why even why do you like, I guess I'm pissed that our governments, you can't do this yet. We just do a bunch of stuff, but it's like, just let Putin do it. Well, the weird thing is that in World War II, Russia was our ally and they lost something like two million people fighting the Nazis. Yeah, they were basically the turning tide aside from the A bomb. Yeah, that like helped us win that war and people were like, Hey, go fuck yourself. Yeah, I mean, I like, I have stories of my like, there's this one story of my grandfather in St. Petersburg, because they shut they shut down the road. There was no food. Nothing. People were eating boots. Yeah, people. He was like, are you casually on eating people? People love big deal. He had a connection somehow to get bread, hit like a loaf of black bread and he was walking home with it and some people were coming. So he threw it over a fence and there was snow. So it looked like a rock. Okay, he went in the classic bread rock move. Classic bread rock move. Maybe this is a story from a movie my mom is just lying. Okay. And then my he turns into Robert Redford. And then he dies. But no, so he's running with the bread and he's away from the people and then he goes and sits on like a rock in the ground and then like he's sitting there and he gets up and realized that it's a pro person froze and dead. Oh, I thought he sat there and realized it was a bigger loaf of bread. Someone knows a lot. And it was a giant loaf of bread. My mother ran over a dead person once. So my mother was driving on Mystic Ave and Medley. They were already dead. Yeah, they're already dead. Okay. She was like maybe 17 or 18. Yeah. And it was snowing out. Snow was the key factor in both of these stories. And she saw a bunch of garbage in the road. So there was like groceries and she thought like some clothes and she runs over like boop boop boop boop. Caught pulls her over. And he's like, he just ran a lady over. And then my mother was like, oh my god. And he goes, she's been run over many times. She's dead. So there was some couple fighting in the car and the husband threw the wife out of the car with all the groceries. And then she just got run over like 200 times. Wow. I never run anyone over. 8.30. What are you going with? Again, didn't do 8.30. I'm going with the movie awards pre-show, the MTV movie awards. Well, at nine. Well, nine, I was watching the movie awards. So I probably would have also been watching the pre-show. Yeah, absolutely. I watched it every year. It was fantastic. I stopped around the year 1999, but I would have watched it for sure. Friday night, the final one. What won that year? For best movie? I don't remember in '98. It was probably 10 things I hate about you. You can't be wait or something like that. So Friday night, 8 o'clock, what'd you go with? I'm watching Sabrina, the teenage witch. If I was home on a Friday when I was 18, I would have watched that as well. I think that's a good move. And this one, Sabrina psyched to get $100 for babysitting her cousin, played by Emily Hart, Melissa Joan Hart, so her younger sister. But she realizes that being underpaid when the little witch turns her into a doll. What a terrifying episode. Sounds pretty terrifying. Yeah. That is my nightmare. One of your fears is being turned into a doll back to the eyes and dolls thing. It all comes back to itself. 8.30, what do you go with? Oh, and again, didn't do the 8.30. I just did the 8.30. So that's all right. So if you stayed-- I was sitting in silence. Fair enough. If you stayed with ABC, you probably would have watched You Wish, which was a show about a genie. Terrible show. Maybe one of the worst shows TJIF ever ran right behind Migo. Wouldn't have done that. Yeah. Was Mowish on it? Mowish wasn't on it. At 8.35. Okay. On the Disney Channel, a one-star film, Teen Witch. You're watching Sabrina. Why not watch Teen Witch? I probably would have. With Robin Lively. Have you ever seen Teen Witch? No. Did I see Teen Witch? You'd love Teen Witch. I did see double, double toil and trouble starring the Olsen twins. We all saw that. But I think you would have really liked Teen Witch. So 9 o'clock, what'd you go with? I probably would have tried, since I have all the channels, I probably would have gone and watched some kinky nudes. Kinky nudes. This was a thing called Kinky Nudes? Yeah, it was on the Dirty Channel. Oh, on Spice, yes. Yeah, I remember. I'm a preteen sex success thing. I'm gonna try to watch this. Yeah, so Kinky Nudes was on a channel called The Hot. There was two adult channels, Hot Spice and Playboy, if you can't play one. Okay. This was not hardcore things. They only were allowed to show soft-core movies and stuff. Well, no, it would be hardcore movies that were edited in such a way that you didn't see I saw a penis in one and it ruined it. It scared you. It showed up. They're terrifying, disgusting things. We had a black box, so I sometimes, kids would come over my house and ask to watch this stuff and it was pretty boring. The show's they show was Hot Date 7 beautiful kinky nudes, which was followed by Hot Body Summer Lay, L-E-I-G-H, and then a movie called Squeeze It. Yeah, I probably would have watched all of us. You would have watched all of us. It's cold in Minnesota. Or we'll go to 10 o'clock, I would have seen American castles. I would have been like, I'm done with the nudes. I would have watched some castles. Yeah, so I would have been watching Teen Witch or I would have gone with the anthology movie Nightmares, which was a made-for-TV movie. It was four episodes of the show Darkroom, which was an anthology horror series hosted by James Coburn that were edited into a movie and released in the theater. No, it's pretty good. There's one where Emilio Estvez gets sucked into a video game called The Bishop of Battle. Yeah, it's pretty good. You've seen Reepop and I presume. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is it kind of like, is it almost like a Twilight-y? Yeah, not Twilight, like Twilight Zone. Twilight Zone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not Twilight. It'd be funny if some teenage girl- Is it like Twilight? Some teenage girl was like Twilight Zone. Is that like Twilight? And then started watching the Twilight Zone just waiting for it to be like Twilight and then she turns into an old woman. I just wrote my own fan fiction. I used to write fan fiction. Really, for what? For the band Corn? Oh, I remember you saying this, Jenny, Jenny, Jenny. It was a crazy place. There's only one place an R should be backwards and that's a Toys R Us. Corn is- And that's in the band corn. And always will be the worst. What a fucking awful name for a band. Corn? There are other awful names for a band. Why would you name your band Corn of all the vegetables? Corn! Well, it is the most popular. It's the most- because it comes from, I don't know, chill corn or something. Corn? With a cake? Why didn't you give children to the corn? Because it was a movie. Yeah. And I probably couldn't write it. But listen, I haven't spoken to Jonathan Davis in a long time. Have you spoken to him? No, I'm not. He is a really ugly dude. I was a lover. But you couldn't freely admit that. Now I'm like Jesus Christ. But um, when I was younger. I had to thank for that. At that time, I had to thank for some of the donnas. Really? Yeah. So they're attractive ladies. Whatever. Corn. So, Jenny, that's the end of the week. And as you know, TV Guide is not just informative. It has opinions. It's cheers and it jeers. Okay. So I will read you TV Guides, Cheers and Geers for this week. Okay. May 30th to June 5th, 1998, and see if you agree or disagree. Okay. Now, this is very cheer-heavy. There's only one jeer. And this is interesting. It's the only time I've seen this. This is a special edition of Cheers and Geers. This is a special Seinfeld Swan Song edition of Cheers and Geers. So first, we start with a Cheers to keeping the faith. The final Seinfeld episodes scrupulously observed, co-creators, Larry David's character mandate. No hugging, no learning. Do you agree or disagree? Would you, would you, would you cheer that? Or would you cheer that? No hugging, no learning. I don't, I don't know. Are you indifferent? I'm indifferent towards that. Okay. Next, we have a Cheers to Good Jeans. Sure, Jerry's parents were funny arguing about how tall Zina the Warrior Princess is and packing a suitcase full of cereal for their son's incarceration, but the real scene still was George's father. A glorious, apoplectic, and just plain loud, Mr. Costanza was a scream. Every time he hit the screen from his first appearance in the warmup show, right up until the end in the courtroom, heckling Yankee owner George Steinriner on the witness stand and later trying to rouse his wife, who has feigned dead away after the verdict was read. I'll cheer that. Everyone loves Jerry Stiller. Yeah. He's great. Cheers to appropriate ads. We like the Visa commercial that flashed through all the garris 70s outfits at the attic of vintage clothing store in Las Vegas. It was a kaleidoscope riot of patent leather and polyester. At least now we know we're Kramer shops. I'm gonna cheer that because you know me. I love vintage clothing. We sent you to Magnolia Alvin Burbank. I got, oh, I have to tell you something about it. So I did buy some dresses from there. Yeah. I met this crazy old lady who, if you guys don't know, I'm a plus size lady. Like, you're tiny. I'm a tiny plus size. Yeah. Like I'm too big for, I'm too small for Lane Bryant, but too big for the rest of the world. Is that your album? Just enough for the album title. Jenny Zigrino, too big for the world. This always happens when I go to vintage stores as it was usually a crazy old lady. And she sees me going through the bigger sizes. But to her, she's just sees me as someone is going to rip all the seams. She's going to burst all these clothes you told. Yeah. So she's just, I'm picking us up. She's like, no, that's not for you. What I know what she's saying is, that's too small for you. You're going to ruin. You're going to stretch out my sweaters. Exactly. So she like picked out this black dress, which was a really the year. Well, it was 10 dish and the year it was like the decade was completely. She's like, this is from 1920. And I was like, this is in 1940s. Yeah. You don't know any lady in the lady. And again, she's like, this will look great on you. And just giving me like these garish 60s, like house dresses, dressing you like Mrs. Turnblad and hairspray. Yeah. She's just like, oh, you're going to love this. This is for you. I supplied all the movies. Do you ever want to look just like divine? Exactly. But you did get some dresses. I do get some dresses. Finally, a jeers to deja vu all over again. After watching a 45 minute warm up retrospective, the best part of which was the outtakes, it just made us that over so much of the finale was also given over to clips from old episodes. Well, I'm a big fan of outtakes. So I'm going to. Yeah, so I'm going to disagree. I love outtakes. All right. I'll have an entire show that's outtakes. Just outtakes. And then I like to call regular shows in takes and everything else takes. That's where the real magic really is. Thank you so much for doing this show. Thank you for having me. This is bad. And there you have it. That's Jenny's Agrino. She is a very funny comedian. As I mentioned before, you can find her at JennyZIsNice.com. She has all of her social media links up there, and they'll be on the Tumblr page as well. You can watch some clips of her big things coming from her. You've heard it here first or maybe fourth.
