Synopsis by Rovi
Shifty station owner Guy Caballero (Joe Flaherty) answers viewer mail. Talk show emcee Merv Griffin (Rick Moranis) -- "oooh" -- welcomes Liberace (Dave Thomas), Lou Ferrigno (Tony Rosato), and Yasser Arafat (Flaherty). Andrea Martin makes a house call on "Cheryl Kinsey, Travelling Sexologist." On "Kanadian Korner," Doug and Bob McKenzie (Moranis, Thomas) discuss microphone boom shadows and other "stuff that bugs us." And host Mel Slirrup (Eugene Levy) counts down the Top Ten and raps with the Blough kids from Greenback High on "Mel's Rock Pile." (Another sketch, "Participation," was removed from the U.S. syndicated version of this episode.)
