Bob Hope And Woody Allen Together In One Of The Best Sketches
Jimmy_the_Gent415 July 2019
Edith Prickley plugs the movie "Play It Again Bob", she says she loves "Casablanca" but instead quotes lines from "To Have And Have Not" (the "you know how to whistle" scene}.

We see a promo for "The Trial Of Oscar Wilde" where Wilde (Joe Flaherty) keeps giving childish one liners back to the prosecutor (Dave Thomas), though the audience in the courtroom thinks they are hilarious and witty.

Great White North has Bob putting sleeping Doug's pinkie in a warm beer to make him go.

A funny commercial has Joe and Robin Duke as a couple with a backed up toilet. Roto Rooster arrives with Tony Rosato as the plumber with a rooster who goes down to drain to clog, a lot of feathers are lost.

SCTV News has a Travel Tips with Earl, in which he goes to a Caribbean island with his new girl friend, she mostly ignores Earl and is hit on by the locals. Floyd calls her a floozie.

The final sequence is one of the greatest sketches ever "Play It Again Bob" in which Woody Allen (Moranis) tries to write a movie script for Bob Hope (a spot on impression by Thomas). The ghost of Bing Crosby (Flaherty) appears to give Woody advice on working with Hope. Bob doesn't want Woody's neurosis to run wild just write some jokes and bring in a busty woman. Woody wants Diane Keaton, who Bob calls a "string bean"
