"The Big Gay Sketch Show" is a riot!!!
Finally got around to watching my screeners of Logo's "The Big Gay Sketch Show" which had the first two episodes of season two. I seriously laughed out loud a whole buncha times then sompletely lost it during a sketch on episode two which featured a group therapy sketch with the younger partners of such older stars as Michael Douglas, Elton John, Jaclk Nicholson. As Catherine-Zeta Jones begins to describe her sex life with Douglas, she needs a bucket to puke a little bit. Ditto David Furnish regarding Elton. But when the woman with Nicholson opens her mouth to speak, she just start projectile vomiting and cannot stop.
I was disolved with laughter and am laughing again as I try and type. Also funny was a Sally Field commercial that manages to work in her best lines from "Sybil" and "Steel Magnolias" ("I want to know whhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! No. No.") with her memorable Oscar ("You like me!") and Emmy ("There wouldn't BE anymore goddam wars!") speeches.
Just inspired, as was a Liza Minelli as superhero sketch and another that featured a cast member as Elaine Stritch and includes a surprise cameo with the real Stritch at the end.
Go to the show's website to see the Liza and Sally sketches. I hope the Elaine Stritch and the group therapy ones are posted there soon...it's a hoot!
Greg Hernandez has covered the entertainment industry for the Daily
News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.
