I checked the box set, but it doesn’t say in the credits, other than that BJ was “featured”, among many others, in that episode.

Soooo, …

Sounds good to me! 😃

> The Behind The Music parody “Josh Fenderman” never fails to crack me up; it’s not the strength of the piece so much as it is the insane physical comedy of B.J. Porter, first with his Michael Jackson imitation alongside his band Honesty In Motion, and then with the Corey Feldman dance clip, another example of repeating a joke so often it goes from funny to boring to transcendent.

Best source I could find.
