I'll be interrupting the show from time to time yeah well why don't you give the folks at home some examples of what they're gonna come to expect well occasionally I'll interrupt the show by making some sort of noise from underneath the bleachers here you just you just did that well yeah but you know it'll and different times it'll be different noises like maybe the next time it'll be this music from my radio or something yeah but you know that still sounds an awful lot like what you just did oh it does sorry Dave so now how many of these segments have you planned how many of these can we expect to see and you know should we mark them down and so forth 28 funny that Chris we haven't seen you since you were on the show as the the panicky guy and have you been using all of that time

with a guy into the seats right yeah yeah and Chris Chris what was what was the title of this episode this was called disaster and shaft 9 yeah now it seemed to me that this one was a little more elaborate than usual with all those special effects and so forth well we had the smoke machine and the sound effect I don't think it was that elaborate but I'm glad you liked it there yeah yeah now Chris wait a moment nobody really got hurt today no no no nobody got hurt yeah well I guess you probably used stunt man huh yeah that's right stunt double okay Chris just for the folks who may have

there's Chris now Chris come on up and take a bow won't you [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Chris first that was that was that was just terrific that's episode six of the guy into the seats and what was this one called the ski bump the ski bum and I think we all really enjoyed it thanks so thanks again Chris well thank you Dave no I'm not Chris just for the folks who may not be familiar with the guy into the seats Wow why don't you tell us a little bit about the character he's a guy who lives under the seats here and every once in a while he comes up and interrupts the show ya know just recapping now we've had six episodes already give us some highlights of the first six well we did one called disaster and shaft 9 where I was like a coal miner and then we did one called the cookout where I come up and ask for a1 sauce we did one called the bookworm where I asked for a book that sort of thing so this is this is just kind of a formula deal I don't know about a formula I just kind of sit down and pound him out yeah now Chris is just one thing that that that I know I'm not clear on the guy lives under the seats right I mean he eats there he sleeps there yes now see now see to me it seems that's just a little improbable like it's hard for me to imagine you know that's a in fact I think that's the problem with this piece I I just don't get that part of it you know you don't get it well you know that aspect of it that he lives under that I find that improbable it doesn't seem probable at all to me probable yeah yeah I guess you're right Dave I guess I guess the guy under the seat should be a little bit more like those new gift items you do [Music] yeah yeah I guess those are the kind of probable things you're talking about yeah now now Chris I don't want to I don't want to get anything mister one of these days your little fantasy world is gonna come crashing down and when it does you'll know who to say no Chris I think I think that's enough weekend we

this was called king of the mole people yeah and Chris has bidden that we haven't seen you for some time what what do you been doing I went to the coast and did a movie oh well that must have been a lot of fun huh not very much fun no no so basically you've come crawling back to us and your little guy under the seats character huh yeah that's right there Chris just one more thing Chris this one seemed a little stranger than most of the episodes you know a concept was kind of difficult to grasp it's science fiction yeah well what exactly was the idea behind it well I think it's pretty self-explanatory the mole people are people that were trapped under the seats here many years ago and it's very dark down there and all they have to eat are potato chips and how did you get to be king it was my flashlight I see Chris this usually you just come up and say hello or hi or he interrupts or some but this time you really got to do some acting I mean you came up and you said my name is laylock king of the mole people and I think that really took guts guts yeah guts just what the hell do you know about guts mr. Chris you're taking this completely the wrong if you know so much about guts why don't you come up here and be with the mole people yeah I don't want to get involved in another one of these you know something mister one of these days I'm gonna have to turn you inside out oh what a beautiful sight that will be but until that day I'll be right here making your life a living hell watching you

under the seats yeah kind of day yeah now Chris for the for the folks who may not be familiar with with the character of the guy into the seats why don't you briefly explain what what the joke is here he's a guy who lives under the seats here and every once in a while he comes up and he interrupts the show yeah yeah Chris I noticed in this particular episode you were doing kind of a kind of I guess a Russian accent or something I don't know I don't know to me it it almost sounded like it was Spanish yeah that's funny Dave is there a problem with the accent no problem at all I just thought you know with a Russian accent maybe it'd be a little more guttural sounding that's all you know a little more guttural oh yeah that's right I forgot you're a master of dialects aren't I was I was only asking always so quick to criticize no I wasn't criticizing I was you know some canister one of these days I'm gonna have you dancing around like an organ grinders monkey but until that wonderful and glorious day I'll be right here watching you making your life a living hell [Applause] [Music] I I don't know what's the matter with the boy we've had him in all the best schools okay I tell you what

[Applause] [Music] excuse me just a second now that was terrific number nine yeah all the way up to number nine what did you call this one Chris this was Roosevelt a one-man show Wow you know you know what really impressed me most about this one Chris was how precisely you've captured the essence of the President of the United States you know in fact I think that I speak for everybody when I say that you know you for a second there we actually thought we saw President Roosevelt standing there you know well I guess lighting has something to do and I would imagine did a monumental amount of research for this too huh well monumental isn't the weird but I put a lot of thought into it yeah yeah Chris excuse me one second I know I know we go over this and over it and over it a thousand times but again explain just exactly what what is the deal here what's the joke the guy what he lives under the seats and then what he interrupts the show and he comes up and he interrupts the show yeah and how did you decide that this time the President Roosevelt would would come up from under the seats so one-man show yeah I know that Chris but it doesn't seem to a little far-fetched that the 32nd President of the United States would be living under the seats here in the studio far-fetched it's hard to believe in order you still don't understand what I'm trying to do here do you still don't see do you don't know Chris maybe you just don't choose to sit no no prison yeah I don't think you're being fair know something mister one of these days you're gonna wake up in a cage with the rest of the
