I heard a couple BCW Harvey take-offs, and Al never said where they came from, The guy doing Harvey was talking up fictitious a Hollywood drama about the Legislature to be shot in Harrisburg.Punchline: filming starts when producers found someone to star as Elliot Ness. Given the nature of Harrisburg, it was hilarious. The pause was filled with the steamboat noise. Al was laughing as he came back in.

George Bush 41 got razzed a lot as well.
