The Polyester Has Been Drinking
Years before Larry Sanders, Martin Mull turned the talk show upsidedown. Don't know if I saw this episode back as a high schooler, but I probably thought Waits was weird then.
“We discovered that it was OK to have a little high-brow as long you have a lot of low-brow. That’s entertainment value. The one thing you want to avoid is the middle brow, because the whole world is frigging middle brow at the moment.” – Jon Langford

I loved "Fernwood 2 Nite"! It was the closest thing to conceptual/performance art you could get on television at the time. I saw Robin Williams for the first time on this show, and nobody had heard of him then.
Ahhhh. Young Tom. Nice find. Besides his amazing music, I think his death scene in Ironweed is one of the best in movies (even if the movie wasn't the best).
