[Man] Ladies and gentlemen,
the president of the United States...
JesseJackson.
Good evenin' and thank ya...
ladies and gentlemen
of the press...
my fellow Americans,
brothers and sisters.
Welcome to the last
press conference of my presidency.
Now, few people thought
eight years ago...
that a poor boy
from the Carolinas...
could go from the outhouse
to the White House.
From eatin' in cheap joints
to talkin' toJoint Chiefs.
From nibblin' on jalapeños,
to meetin' with the Filipinos.
Yeah.
Hip-hop, you don't stop rockin'
to the bang, bang, boogie, the beat.
Now...
I know that you all have deadlines,
so I won't keep you.
I'll open the floor to questions.
[Reporters]
Mr. President!
As the first Black president,
did you ever fear an attempt on your life?
Well, my administration
did fear assassination...
either by strangulation,
decapitation...
or drivin' through the South
without identification.
So, I took several precautions
to ensure my safety.
One was to increase the size
of the security.
And I thank Eddie Murphy
for loaning me Big Fruity and Ray.
I also, as all of
my predecessors have...
kept Dan Quayle
as a vice president.
- Next.
- Uh, Mr. President, what would you say...
were the most important accomplishments
of your eight years in office?
Well, my administration...
was responsible
for much, much legislation...
though it took
a lot of perspiration.
But the one act
that I feel most proud of...
is theJackson Limitation Act.
As all of you know, that is the bill
that bans all performances...
by LaToya or TitoJackson.
Mr. President.
- Brother President.
- Yes, call meJesse.
Do you feel that you have kept all of
your promises to the American people?
Well, I most certainly
have tried...
and do feel that I have...
kept the most important promise
to the American people...
which is to keep hope alive.
Would you elaborate
on that, please?
Yes, I can.
May I have your attention, please?
- As you can see...
- [Reporters] Ahh!
Bob Hope has been frozen solid.
And our scientists believe
that he can be kept alive...
for at least another years.
That is all the time I have,
so I ask that you will, please...
one last time, join hands with me
and say, "Keep Hope alive."
[All Chanting]
Keep Hope alive! Keep Hope alive!

than Ella, more rips than Luther.

Welcome back.
I'm Alan Thicke...
sittin' in forJohnny Carson.
Because everyone knows at this point
another Carson impression...
would be totally passé.
Ed won't be here tonight either. He woke up
with the head of a Clydesdale in his bed.
I guess when you're in between marriages,
you'll bring home anything.
[Rim Shot]
[Laughs]
All right.
Our next guest is Joan Embry from
the San Diego Anthropological Institute.
As you know, Joan is always
bringing with her...
strange and exotic inhabitants
of the planet.
And tonight she's bringing us
an endangered species.
Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcomeJoan Embry.
[Applause, Cheering]
- Hi, Joan.
- Hi, Alan.
- He's beautiful.
- Yes, he is.
This is Calvin.
He's a Homeboy-sapien africanus...
or "B-Boy" as they're known
in the neighborhood.
Is he able to walk?
Oh, yes, he walks, but, you see,
these are new sneakers...
and they don't like to
crease them.
I see. And what is
he doing now?
This is what they call
"chillin'," Alan.
Well, it is kind of cold
in the studio today.
Oh, no, no, not that kind of chillin'.
He's just relaxing...
- and getting used to his environment.
- I see.
Yo, just 'cause you're livin' large
with crazy bank and stupid wheels...
and I'm butt naked, don't give you the right
to dis, know what I'm sayin'?
Por quoi?
Well, uh, theirs is a rapidly
changing language, Alan.
There's new terminology
almost daily.
But as of last Friday,
what he said to you was...
"Just because you're rich and he's poor,
doesn't give you the right to disrespect him."
- Oh, boy.
- I wouldn't say that around him, Alan.
It tends to, um,
it tends to agitate him.
Yo, yo, yo, Calvin, man, cool out.
The dude's just buggin'.
Is he dangerous?
Well, Alan, like any
of God's creations...
without love, a proper diet, a decent education
and equal opportunities...
he could be
extremely dangerous.
All these lights and cameras
don't help either.
He's got a g*n.!
No, no, Alan, it's just candy.
- [Calvin] Yo, chill out.
- Candy?
It's an appleJolly Rancher.
Yeah. It seems to be the foundation
of the homeboy's diet.
Why they prefer apple as opposed
to grape, we're really not quite sure.
Well, what other kind
of things can he do?
Well, he can do anything
anybody else can do.
Oh, yeah?
Well, can he host a talk show?
I'm sure he could, yes.
Yo, that ain't nothin', man.
Yo, check this out, man.
Is this thing on?
Yo, what's up? What's up?

We'll be back,

Tita! Cha-cha! Concha!
¿Qué hace?
Look at all the hair
on the floor.
It looks like the bathtub
after you shave your legs.
Or after you shave
your shoulders, huh, Hector?
Sweep the floor, Concha!
Hey, mira.
What's the matter with him?
Cha-cha, let me tell you, baby.
It's a big situation.
What happened?
Yesterday, she caught Hector
in the bathroom with another woman.
No, ay, mi hija. I bet she almost had
a cardiac arrest. You sure that happened?
I know what happened.
Let me tell you.
Last night, I stayed over at Daisy's house,
and Concha told Marissa...
and Marissa told Lucy and Lucy
told Pablo and Pablo told Pepe...
and Pepe told Cuca and Cuca told
Crazy Legs and Crazy Legs told Mad Dog...
and Mad Dog told Lefty and Lefty
told Shorty and Shorty told Pepe...
and Pepe told Sol and Sol told me, baby,
so you know it's a fact.
I know. I know it's a fact.
Concha, I told you
to sweep the floor.
Why don't you ask the pendeja
I caught you with to sweep the floor, huh?
Concha, my little Ponce de León,
it was nothing.
L... Ay!
Mira, condenada, you bit my lip!
- ¡Ven acá.!
- Ay.!
[Arguing In Spanish]
There's a customer, estúpido.!
Hola. I am Senor Hector...
proprietor of Casa de Hair.
Hi. I'm visitin'
from out of town.
And the concierge at the hotel directed me
to the Vidal Sassoon next door...
but they have apparently
burnt down.
[Together]
Mm-hmm.
Tita, check the appointment book,
por favor.
- You don't have no appointment book.
- ¡A yúdame.!
Pronto.
Oh, Madonna just canceled,
Hector. You're free.
Follow me, senorita.
[Spanish, Indistinct]
Siéntate, mi princesa.
Oh. [Chuckles]
Olé!
Concha, the lady
would like a manicure.
So, are you married, senorita?
Well... Oh, my goodness!
Aren't you something?
As a matter of fact I am, Senor Hector.
Let me ask you a question.
What would you do...
if you found
your worthless husband...
alone in the bathroom
with a strange woman?
Oh, I'm afraid I would just kick
his little behind. Ow!
What if he was only there
trying to fix the plumbing?
Well, there doesn't seem to be anything
wrong with that, I guess. [Screams]
But what if his plumbing
is so bad...
that he can't even
satisfy his own wife?
You know, as a wife,
I would find that extremely frustrating.
Well, of course, maybe
he wasn't doing everything he could...
to feel more like a man.
[Gasps]
What I mean is... I mean,
maybe it was because his cologne...
- smelled a little more like embalming fluid.
- Oh, no, baby!
I bought Hector
that cologne, okay?
Are you talking about
my wife's taste in cologne?
No! You know, I think
I would just have to know...
a little bit more about the whole
situation before rendering an opinion.
- Excuse me. I'm late for an appointment.
- ¡Espérate.!
Ay, look at that.
Another valued customer has left
my establishment, and it's all your fault.
Ah, kiss my chuteca
and die, Hector.
I going to k*ll you!
[Groans]
I hope she don't take off that shoe and throw
it at his head again like she did last time.
It's okay because he's so hard up,
he's not even going to feel it.
[Grunting]
You know I love you...
when your eyes are bulging.
You make me feel so caliente when that
little vein pops outta your head.
Chicas, take a break.
I guess maybe they're not going to
get a divorce after all.
Honey, if that's the case, let me get
on the phone, 'cause I gotta tell Paco...
so he can tell Pepe
and Pepe can tell Puca.

P.B. S... The Pavement
Broadcast System...
proudly presents...
a new do-it-yourself-at-home
home improvement show.
My name is Anton...
and this is my house,
slash bathroom...
slash kitchen, slash backyard,
slash library.
Oh, I forgot we're on TV.
Let me fix my makeup.
Now, let's...
We're gonna need
a little bit of work light...
so let's go to
a convenient power source.
- [Electricity Crackling]
- [Yelling]
Remember, safety last
when you ain't got no money.
Now, today we're gonna
add on a new room.
But I have to make sure
that I got the proper tools.
This is the drill.
My hammer.
My measuring tape.
Oh, that's the extension cord.
Let's just use the rope for now.
[Laughs]
And last but not least,
I need my screwdriver.
Ahh! Ohh!
I need another one of that.
Now let's get started, shall we?
Now, in order to add on
this new room...
we're gonna have to
make a new doorway.
So what do we do? We mark it.
[Spits]
With an "X."
And then we cut the hole.
Smooth out the rough edges.
Pick up our pants.
And now let's add on
the new room.
Now, in order to bond this...
we're gonna have to use
an all-natural adhesive.
Y'all children,
don't try this at home.
We just put that there.
And when this dries,
it'll be crazy like Krazy Glue.
Now, our new guest wing
is almost complete.
But not yet.
We need to install the plumbing.
I'll go get the bathroom.
So, we'll just set that there,
right there. Wait.
Put a little toilet paper
in there.
So, now when company come over,
they don't have to steal your bathroom.
Well, that's the show for today.
Join me next week
when I'll be showing you...
how to make a Jacuzzi
out of a garbage can.
This is Anton
for This OI'Box saying...
"Hasta la... something other."
All right.
Thank you very much.
We'll see you next time.
Say hello to our newest cast member.
Say... Say good night
to everybody.
- Tell 'em, "See you next week."
- Say good night.
- Say see you next week. "See you next week."
- See you next week.! Ha.!
That's why she's not getting scheduled.
Good night.
