I'm Dying Up Here
« on: June 25, 2017, 07:39:47 PM »
If you have access to Showtime, the second episode of I'm Dying Up Here features a C-plot involving two of the characters going on the 70s version of Let's Make a Deal.  The game play is altered a bit to fit the story, but the actors they hired and the set they created are pretty faithful reproductions.

Not having access to Showtime, does an actor play Monty Hall or does he appear via digital trickery (or not at all)?
It's a well-known fact that Lincoln loved mayonnaise!

Played by an actor.  They didn't go for a lookalike, but the attention to period clothing and set detail is astonishing.

This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

They handle The Tonight Show similarly, with vaguely recognizable character actor Dylan Baker playing Carson:
