Highly quotable.

Dexter, I had to wash your mouth out with my tongue.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

In this installment of the Cabana Chat parody, leopard-robed hostess Dixie Wetsworth flirts with her bandleader Dexter, sends her pool boy off to retrieve a quarter that turns out to be glued down, and then brings out her guest, soap actor Jack Wagner. As Wagner tries to explain the hard work of being a hunk and playing a doctor on television, Dixie's double entendres, Dexter's interruptions and the pool boy's non sequitur keep knocking the interview off course, until Wagner defends his musical-theater training by breaking into a song-and-dance routine.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
