Well, there’s still baseball and SNL to parody. 🙂 ---

There’s a scene in [Outrageous!](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0076513) where a guy yells “they’re real!” but he’s talking about his eyes. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Sam Stone \* > \*\*As for Jimmy Fallon, I think the guy has tons of talent. But most of it is musical. Have you seen him do song parodies? He’s fantastic. He can mimic everyone from Eddie Vedder to Dave Matthews, and his song parodies are pretty good. He’s also a decent singer and guitar player. > > And I don’t mind a lot of his sketches on SNL, but some are derivative or lame. \*\* I have to concede on the impressions. Very funny and spot on in most cases. He’s also not bad on the news though Tina Fey is a bit better. And I love that scar on her face. ---

FTR, I recognise the quote (or something like it) as a song lyric. No idea from what tho. For some reason I start humming “Sympathy for the Devil” every time I see this thread. ---

No, he means [Houghton](http://us.imdb.com/Name?Houghton,%20Katharine). Houghton plays the daughter who brings Poitier home. She IRL is Hepburn’s niece. ---

Teri Hatcher also plays a trampy soap actress in the movie “Soapdish,” and I wish I could remember the line from Kevin Kline that prompts it but she says “Mm, you should see my tits!” She’s certainly made a career out of those two! ---
