They are more than entitled to do so. Their views can be enlightening, or they can be infuriating. I understand that context is important. That is not what I am describing here. I saw Dave Chappelle live about eight years ago. He was headlining an ampitheatre comedy festival, and had become increasingly irritated with the hecklers who just wanted him to do his old TV shtick.
He actually did say something that night about the power of words. I may not be quoting him exactly, but this is as close as I can remember. Mary is dating Wes Callison, the writer for Chuckles the Clown's show. The job is less than ideal for Wes as beyond Chuckles being a tyrannical boss, Wes really wants to be a performer, more specifically a stand-up comedian.
After one temper tantrum too many by Chuckles, Wes quits. Mary believes Wes would be perfect to write and host a five minute segment on the news on the lighter side of life. Lou agrees to let Wes tape a test spot. After viewing the spot which Mary loves, Lou believes Wes' whimsical brand of humor isn't what the show needs.
Lou leaves it to Mary to break the bad news to Wes. Following, Wes gets a job doing stand-up at the Melody Lounge, which he fails to mention is in a bowling alley. He invites the gang from the newsroom to his opening night as he wants a supportive crowd. Mary feels Wes' success or failure almost as much as Wes himself, to which Lou can attest. Regardless of Wes' success or failure, he will at least have had a chance to see if his dream of being a stand-up comedian is what he was meant to do.
Add content advisory. Did you know Edit. Goofs When Wes Jerry Van Dyke stomps into Mary's kitchen upset over not getting the job, you'll notice the video freeze for a split second while he is yelling. This post production edit must have been necessitated due to not getting the desired shot during the show taping. User reviews 2 Review. Top review. The Dropping of a Bomb. I always felt he was cast in parts because people felt sorry for him. He was in a show called "My Mother the Car" where his dead mother comes back as a car.
Need I say more. Anyway, he is the script writer for the "Chuckles the Clown Show. Apparently, Chuckles had a real mean streak and kept firing his writers. Anyway, when Wes quits the Chuckles show and doesn't get another job at the station, he decides to try standup comedy.
It's a total disaster where even his friends can't find anything to laugh about. But there is one terrific bit where Mary is crying and Lou follows her into the bathroom.
