[Man] And now we bring you
this special Elvis update.

Hello. I'm Bill Bixby
coming to you live...

from the remote field
in Alpina, Michigan...

where there's been
another Elvis sighting.

With me is Tom Carter,
who spotted Elvis first.

Tom, tell us exactly
what you saw.

Well, Billy here found some Elvis
droppings over behind Rosie's Diner.

When we got there,
we spotted him in the Dumpster.

Well, I flushed him out,
and boom, he took off like a rabbit.

And now we got him cornered
over there behind that tree.

I see. And how can you be sure
this is the real Elvis?

Well, I know the King,
and that's him.

Good enough.

Look. There he is.
Get a picture of that.

- Look at those markings.
- [Dog Barking]

- The telltale muttonchops. It's all there, folks.
- Let the dogs go, boys.

- [Barking]
- Go get him, boys.

Lfhe gets to the highway,
we done lost him.

You're not gonna
k*ll him, are you?

No, we'rejust gonna
put some tranquilizers in him.

We already got two darts
in him now.

Of course. The King has always had
a high tolerance for tranquilizers.

- [Tom] Hey. There he goes!
- [g*nsh*t]

- Whoo!
- [Men Laughing, Cackling]

[Man]
Hold up. Hold on. He's getting up.

- [Man # ] sh**t him again!
- [Bixby] Are we getting this?

- [Groaning]
- [Tom] We got him now, boys.

He's down. He's down.

Oh, this is great. This is... The search is over,
ladies and gentlemen.

Elvis lives,
and we're gonna prove it.

My agent told me not to do this.
Can you believe it?

This is really something.
Oh, my gosh.

Let's see if we can get a word
with the King. Elvis, I'm Bill Bixby.

- Why did you fake your own death?
- [Groans]

- Can he hear me?
- [Screams]

[Man]
Look out! He's coming to!

Okay. He's more afraid of us
than we are ofhim.

[Bixby]
He's gone. He's gone. Oh, man.

Incredible, ladies and gentlemen.
Three darts in him, and he's still going.

Oh, we had hoped to bag
the King today, but, uh...

I guess once again
he gets through our dragnet.

- [Screaming]
- [Man] Oh, he's charging!

Go! Go! Go!

- Jesus! Into the car!
- [Screaming]

Oh, God! Go!
In the car! In the car!

- [All Yelling]
- Oh, geez!

- Get in!
- Get in the car.

- May have bitten off more than we can chew.
- Brace yourselves. He's rammin'.

Oh, damn it.
I dropped the keys.

- [Yelling]
- Take him out!

- [Screaming]
- [Horn Honking]

We now return you
to your regularly scheduled program.

[Man] This week, In Living
Color asks the question...

what if Bob Hope were black?

What's up? What's up?
What's up? What's up?

All right. All right.
All right. All right.

I want y'all to put your hands together
for this next brother comin' to the stage.

Give it up for Mr. Bob Hope, y'all!

- ♪♪ [Theme]
- [Cheering]

Yeah. Hey, this is
Bob "Def ComedyJam" Hope here...

and I'm one angry brother,
I wanna tell you.

Hey, I'm gettin' kind of tired
of white people thinkin'...

I'm gonna steal somethin'
just 'cause I'm black.

Hey, what up with that, huh?
Yeah.

Yeah. Hey, I was in
the store the other day.

This saleslady was following me so close.
Finally, I turned around and said...

"Hey, look, bitch. Why don't you hop on?
I'll give you a piggyback ride."

Yeah.

Yeah, but...
Hey, how about these white girls?

Ain't they somethin'? Yeah,
they really go for us brothers, don't they?

That's 'cause brothers
know how to do the nasty.

- [Man] Yeah!
- You know what the nasty is, don't ya?

Yeah. That's the wild thing
with an attitude.

See, brothers like to take
our time with the ladies, don't we?

Yeah. Man, I'm telling you,
it's wild.

We can stick... [Bleep] Hanukkah.
Hey, peace! I'm outta here!

[Man] They're neglected,
they're unwanted, they're young.

And, you know,
they're available.

Hi, l-I'm Woody Allen.

For just $ a month,
you know...

which is, mind you, a lot less than
the cost of your one hour of analysis...

you could not only feed one of these...
these gorgeous, delicious Asian girls...

you know, y-you could
also date one.

Believe me, they don't have...
They don't have homes.

You know, th-they
don't have clothes.

They don't even
have breasts yet.

You know, just-just think of it as
an investment for your future, you know.

Just-Just-Just look at
the difference you can make.

You know, right here...

You know, years ago,
this girl was just...

a tiny orphan
living in utter squalor.

But, you know, just...
Ooh, just look at her now.

Ooh, me so hungry.

- Guess who?
- Papa Woody!

Yes, dear. Papa...
You know, just...

You know, don't... don't, uh,
you say anything. [Clears Throat]

I believe it was Sigmund Freud
who, uh, once said...

you know, a girl's
first love is her father.

But, you know, if I could just interject
right here, you know, at this juncture.

It was a lot easier
at that point...

to sneak into a seedy motel
under an assumed name.

You know, I don't think I'm being
facetious or really even didactic...

when I say, you know, it's not everyone
who's got a wife naive enough...

to, you know, bring one of these nubile,
young goddesses home with her, you know.

But, you know, hey,
look what it's done for me.

And when it comes to women,
I've always been a total loser.

You know, when I was...
when I was breast-feeding...

I remember my mother,
she said to me, you know...

"I'd kinda like to get
to you know you better."

But, you know, the real
beauty of this offer...

is it's totally
tax-deductible.

You know, so please call...

- -date-the-children.

And if-if-if a woman named Mia
answers the phone, you know...

just... hang up
and try after : .

Her medication
will have kicked in by then.

Go, "K-nicks"!

[Chuckles]
That's Knicks, my little blossom.

The New York Knicks.

[Announcer]
Date the Children.

When a million dollars
in therapyjust isn't enough.

[Audience Applauding]

[Announcer]
And now, Jay Leno!

[Squeaky Voice]
Thank you. Thank you.

That's a great round of applause there.
It gets me real excited.

Makes me so excited,
my voice goes real high.

You know, tonight we have
a really similar show for you...

but why don't we start out
by introducing you...

to Branford Marsalis
and the Tonight Show band.

[Audience Applauding]

Let's get right to the news.

Here's some of the headlines
that are happening around our country.

People are sending them to us.
First headline:

"Crazed Gunman Mows Down
in Post Office."

Aren't these people taking this
Elvis stamp thing a little too seriously?

All right.
Second headline says...

"Bank Robbed,
Four Security Guards k*lled."

And well worth
the $ . an hour, I must say.

Anyway, let's get started.

My first guest
is the first bald person...

to win a Grammy since Isaac Hayes.

Please welcome Sinéad O'Connor.
Come on out here, Sinéad.

♪♪ [Band Playing]

All right, Sinéad.

Sinéad, let's rise for the singing
of our national anthem.

Huh? Kiddin'ya! Okay.

It's good you can
take a joke like that.

I guess it's good to see you again.

I guess the lesson
for the young girls out here is...

that you should never use
the drive-through window at Supercuts.

Oh, that's very funny, Mr. Leno.
Make your jokes.

But I'm not a girl, you know.
I'm a woman.

This is just the sort of sexist attitude
I dealt with all my life...

even in my own homeland of Ireland
where a grown woman is called a lassie.

Lassie, huh? You look more
like a Mexican hairless to me...

Uncle Fester.

You know, make your
little jokes, Mr. Leno...

but I'm not here on your show
to promote my career.

This is capitalist business.
That's what this is.

This is the prime minister of Norway.

Her country allows the k*lling
of thousands of whales.

You know, I went
whale watching once.

I heard the captain yell
"There she blows..."

and I thought somebody
had spotted Madonna.

[Audience Groans]

Now, what has this cute, little
guy done to deplete whatever?

Nothing, but I just
find him really irritating.

Well, I got one for you, Mrs. Clean.

Tear this one up.

No. Arsenio's a fine man,
and very politically correct.

- You know, when we were dating,
he'd often say to me...
- Dating? Dating?

You were dating Arsenio Hall?

- Yes. What of it?
- You have fallen from grace.

You are not longer
invited on this show.

- You have slept with the anti-host.
- [Audience Groans]

Can you imagine if she
and Arsenio had a kid?

With her bald head
and his triangle head...

he'd come out lookin'
like a "yield" sign with a nose ring.

Like this.

That is it! I'm leavin'!
Fight the real enemy!

Yeah? Why don't you
go join a karate class?

See if they can snatch
the pebble from your hand, huh?

Okay, we're gonna take a short
commercial break here and be right back.

Hey, hold on. Hold on here.
Wait a second.

What happened
to Branford and the band?

Oh, snap.
They had to run off early.

They had to do
The Arsenio Hall Show.

Well, that's it.
They're banned.

They're banned.
The band is banned.

I don't care.
I don't need 'em anyway.

I don't. As long as I still
have my audience, right?

[Audience Makes Barking Sounds]

[Sighs]

Well, I say if you can't b*at 'em...

you might as well get busy
with some of that Dorito-eatin'...

For example, here's your host, Bill Cosby!

[Applause]

Thank you.
Yes, yes, yes.

Okay, cut that... Stop!
Cut that... Thank you.

Now, you know the rules
of the game.

I come out

No, I'm just kiddin'.

I was a fool.

No argument here.

Bill! Man, I just gotta say

It is crazy out there, man!

How come every time you get on an airplane,

You just have to make silly faces, you know.
There you go. Make a silly face.

Now, Delta,
why in heaven's name...

did you leave Designing Women?

Well, my costars thought
I was gettin' a big head.

Now, stop the badgerin'

for the walk-on part
of the TV show Major Dad.

- Pick me! Pick me! I'll start the warm-up!
- Pick me!

Now, our category, as always,
is "Bad Career Moves."

Now, listen to the question.

This star made an awful career move
when they left a popular TV series.

- That would be me.
- [Buzzer Sounds]

- Oh! It's gotta be me.
- [Buzzer Sounds]

No, you're both wrong. It's me.
[Gibberish]

Just kidding.
Now, next question.

Whose career went down
the toilet this year?

- Vanilla Ice.
- [Buzzer Dinging]

That is correct.

And whose career
ended this year?

- Uh, Dennis Miller.
- [Buzzer Dinging]

You are correct again.
Now, here is the bonus question.

Whose career is going to be
washed up next year?

- Oh!
- [Together] Tom Arnold.

- [Buzzer Dinging]
- You are correct again.

Now, I'm glad to say that...

Hey, what is... What is going on,
Filth, Flyin' and Floren?

Can't you see that
we're doin' the show here?

We're repossessing this stuff,
Mr. Cosby.

How many times do I have to tell ya?
You've been canceled.

What do you...
What do you mean, I've been canceled?

I'm the most beloved father on television.
You don't know nothing.

I did all the voices for Fat Albert.

[Imitating Fat Albert]
Hey, hey, hey. Let Bill stay.

[Gibberish]

- What are you doin'?
- Need a hand?

- How does bucks sound?

I can...
I can buy this network.

I don't need you to cancel me.
I got money. Look at this here.
