Quiz
George mentions that in darts the object is to reach zero. In most versions of the game, this is true, as the score starts at 301 or 501 for single player games, or 701 or 1001 for doubles, and the rules state that a player has to reach exactly zero with the score putting it to zero being a double score in order to be declared the winner. (Going past zero, reaching zero with a single or triple score, or reaching a positive score that puts reaching zero with a double impossible [like 1, 3, or 5] busts out the player, and their score resets to what it was at the end of their previous turn.)

Blooper
In his skit on how to change certain sports, he suggests in baseball that if the pitcher hit the batter with the ball, the batter would be out, then suggests the game would be over if two pitchers hit 27 batters in a row. He conveniently forgets that in his famous "baseball and football" skit that he mentions the fact that baseball has no time limit, therefore, the game would not end after hitting the 27th batter. It would just keep going on and on and on.

Citazioni
George Carlin: Now, tennis. Very trendy, not a sport. Tennis is a form of ping pong. In fact, tennis is ping pong played while standing on the table. In fact, all racquet games are nothing but derivatives of ping pong. Even volleyball is racquet-less team ping pong played with an inflated ball and a raised net while standing on the table.

Casting Lyle Talbot

I was working with Rocco Urbisci on several projects including Richard Pryor's "JoJo Dancer," when we did the Carlin Special. One day we were discussing casting people for the Carlin show and the producers said they needed someone to play "Pops, the Doorman." Who would be right for it? A few days before I was in the local supermarket and saw Lyle Talbot who was then quite old, but he looked great. I talked with him and was very impressed with meeting someone from the early days of film. When we needed someone to play "Pops," I suggested Mr. Talbot. The shocked response from everyone in the room was, "Is he still alive?" I said yes, and that I had met and talked with him. They called him and he got the role. A few years later I met him again, in the drug store, and told him that it was because I saw him in Gelson's that he was called to play Pops. He said he was moving up to San Francisco to be with his family. I never saw him after that, but I'm happy to know that I got him one of his last jobs in show business! MS
