Some years back they had a syndicated TV show called “Comedy Break” that I remember enjoying quite a lot. They seem to have disappeared somewhere along the way. Comedians generally have a pretty short half-life, I guess.

I remember Mack and Jamie. Funny guys. “Comedy Break” was the first time I saw Jan Hooks, not including _Pee Wee’s Big Adventure_.

I think they were also in a movie about a million-dollar heist or something. Hmm.

We have always been “clean comics” so we ended up doing hundreds of corporate shows. Haven’t done a Comedy Club since the Ice House 50th Anniversary. It’s been a sweet ride…

In keeping with the slow motion theme of this thread, thank you for replying Jamie. I’m glad to hear that you and Mack are still performing.

“Don’t think of them as cows. Think of them as savings banks with udders.”

From Mack and Jamie’s “Trunk and Bunk” sketch. I laughed so hard that I hurt myself.
