Episode Summary

EDIT

AIRED: 8/8/01

Wayne opens the show with a rendition of "I Love Music." James Brown answers a 911 call and sings CPR directions to the wife of a man with heart problems. Improvisation commences with the game "Forward/Reverse," with Jonathan and Wayne in an action movie, Wayne stealing a bar of soap. Joel calls direction. The new boy band from Canada, Posse Trois, sings "Dude, Your Mom Is Hot." Wayne's "grandmother" becomes an expert on the Titanic, much to the laughter and embarrassment of his actual grandmother in the audience. James Brown saves the day again, this time singing air-traffic controlling directions. Justin and Bryan join Wayne in a song to audience member Anne, an English student with a purple sweater and matching hair.moreless
