synopsis
Jerry Stiller (Seinfeld, King of Queens) guest stars as Gordy, an old pal--and longtime romantic rival--of diner owner Mel (Vic Tayback). When middle-aged Gordy shows up with a sexy young woman on his arm, Mel is determined to outdo his friend. To this end, Mel "persuades" waitress Jolene (Celia Weston) to pose as his fiance--a pretense which Jolene may have to uphold all the way to the altar! This episode was filmed for Alice's sixth season, but held back due to a Hollywood writer's strike.
