The beginning of this episode has some short sketches. First we see Joe Flaherty as obnoxious New Yorker Norman Gorman who teaches New Yorkese talk. A commercial for a hilarious Lola Heatherton special. "Yellow Belly" is a western with Johnny LaRue as a coward. Eugene Levy and Dave Thomas play TV pitchmen with high pitched nasal voices.
One storyline has Guy hiring illegal immigrant Prini Scleroso as VP in charge of coordination. Another running gag is a parody of the then current film "Melvin and Howard" about a man who picks up Howard Hughes in the desert. Other Howards he encounters are Howard Cosell, senator Howard Baker and Curly Howard. There is a funny sketch about the film critic show Sneak Previews with Gene Siskel (Flaherty) and Roger Ebert (Thomas). They review a new Star Wars movie called Empires Are A Girl's Best Friend. Then we get Rick Moranis as Dick Cavett interviewing himself.
Another story line has a bickering couple the Fracases (Thomas and O Hara) who are marrying their homely daughter (Martin) off to a nerd (Moranis). The musical guest Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes is woven into this story, playing a band the Fracases hire for the wedding. They perform two songs All I Want Is Everything and Fever.
The Great White North has a funny topic when Bob puts sleeping Doug's pinky into a warm beer to make him "go". John Candy appears as Babe Ruth visiting a sick kid. The kid keeps asking him for home runs, to eat 50 hot dogs, do cartwheels until the Babe attacks the obnoxious kid!
Then we meet Sid DIthers, (Levy) as an short old Jewish guy with a hearing problem playing a private eye. The final sketch is Count Floyd, a horror movie host who looks like a vampire but howls like a werewolf. The movie he shows is a spot on parody of a Ingmar Bergmann film called Whispers Of The Wolf. Catherine O'Hara looks exactly like Liv Ullmann in this.
