Carnival Personnel

Jacques and Joe stuffed not only themselves this Thanksgiving but also this episode!

Jacques and Joe remember the incomparable comic book pioneer Stan Lee. From Spider-Man to X-Men, Stan “The Man” was the driving force behind Marvel’s most memorable superheroes. The fact that two nobodies think their lame take on his legendary career is relevant by any stretch of the imagination is a testament to Stan Lee’s decades-long influence in popular culture.

Jacques and Joe remember the late, great Phil Hartman. It’s been 20 years since we lost this incredible actor, writer, SNL veteran, NewsRadio cast member, and iconic voice of classic Simpsons characters Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz. But at least we have Joe’s lukewarm, not-quite-right impressions of him to stomach for 30 minutes. And, of course, the memories. We miss you, Phil!
