Summary[]
While talking about John Carpenter, Jon Hamm mentions he directed The Thing. This leaves Garry Marshall exasperated, saying, "If you can't even think of the name then don't even bother. Hey, you know this director he put out Whosey Whatsey?" Garry Marshall talks about his plans to retire from making movies so he can become a Cryptozoologist and begin searching for the Loch Ness Monster. Garry asks why Scott calls Nick Lowe "Mr. Lowe" but calls him Garry and asks him to show more respect. Scott says, "Okay, Mr. Garry," to which Garry Marshall replies "Please, call me Garry, Mr. Garry was my father."
Freestyle Rap Contest[]
The suggested theme for this freestyle rap contest is Autumn.
Would You Rather?[]
Would you rather always laugh to the tune of the M.A.S.H. theme song OR have Tony Danza appear as a devil or angel on each shoulder or every decision you make.
The game is interrupted to talk about the fact that Meridith Baxter-Berney is now known as Meredith Baxter until she made a sexy discovery.
Jon chooses the second scenario and Garry chooses the first scenario, Jon is declared the winner because Mr. Marshall chose uncorrectly.
