Another
sketch, written by Bernhard, I believe, was "The Holli Weisman
Show," hosted by none other than Holli Weisman. In it she interviews
five men who worked with Madonna but never slept with her. Mark Sachs
and I played the security guards, who rushed in at appropriate moments
and ushered guests off the stage.
The
first guest, played by Andy, was obviously gay.
Holli
moved on to the second guest, who was repulsive (Bernhard eating toilet
paper we ushered him offstage). [Note: Bernhard
wrote an infamous sketch where he ate toilet paper, and this became
one of his recurring bits, like stapling oranges or writing obsessively
dark poetry was for me. He would put barbecue sauce on it first. And
yes, it was as repulsive as it sounds.]
The
third guest didn't actually work with Madonna: he just bought all
her albums and videos.
The
fourth guest, played by Joe, was a caffeine addict who had sex with
Madonna but never slept with her (too wound up). We had to usher him
offstage for being too hyper. So Holli changed the topic of the show
to "People Who Worked With Madonna and Never Had Sex With Her."
The
last guest, played by Carl Haicken, hadn't realized he was working
with Madonna.
"I
thought she was a hooker! That's why I kept turning her down."
For the remainder of the sketch he hit his head on the wall and said,
"Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!"
Another
Bernhard Warg sketch was "Homosexual Rednecks," which is
one of your typical turn-a-situaton-180-degrees sketches. In it, a
bunch of rednecks sit around drinking beer and being "manly"
except that their idea of being manly is to like other guys.
They pick on one of the rednecks, my brother, because he "likes
girls." Andy acted the same as he had in the "Holli Weisman
Show" sketch, talking in a fey lisp and using weak wrist movements
and such.
At the
end of the sketch, they confront Holli, who admits that she is actually
a woman. They walk off in disgust. Sam comes on and tells Holli that
she did a good job of making them confront their fears and that they
would become more tolerant. Then Sam leaps into Bernhard's body.
