OK, if he wasn’t smoking weed in that car and really high, then he is one hell of an actor. It was just on, so I’m sure no one will know for sure yet, but what’d you think? For the folks on the west coast it’s the skit with Will Ferrell being Robert Goulet. They looked pretty high to me.

I would be willing to believe that John Belushi was smoking actual _Cannabis sativa_ in that truly hilarious “Ex-Cops” skit.

Also, did Robert Goulet drop a few F-bombs in that sketch? I wasn’t really paying attention, but that made me turn my head.

He was saying “fluck”, from what I heard.
