Quoted: His bloopers on youtube are pretty funny as well, maybe he'll fuck up tonite for some hilarity. |
Oh, boy did he!
He came out and did several minutes of solo stand-up, then he brought out Walter. He got about one minute into Walter's routine, and then he just stopped and said, "I don't remeber how the first part starts!" One of his assistants had to bring out his laptop for him to review his notes. But he kept us rolling the whole time with ad libbed stuff -- mainly Walter berating him for being a dumbass.
Then after about four minutes of scrambling, he finally got back to the routine:
"So Walter, I had a question for you, and now I remember what it was."
"I've been waiting a long time for this, so it better be good."
(with excess enthusiasm) "Say Walter, what'd you do today?"
[Walter just stares at Jeff for a couple of beats]
"It took you five minutes just to remember that?!?!"
We were laughing so hard we were hurting. But the rest of the show went off without a hitch. He did have some trouble with Achmed, but he's done that before, so I think it's part of the act now.
There was one drunk heckler in a private balcony booth, but Jeff handled him very well. When he tried to heckle him a second time, he was discreetly escorted out.
Walter to the heckler: "Excuse me, sir. I understand you're excited to see the show, but would you kindly shut the fuck up?!"
