Tuesday Liberal Humor - Lookwell!
In 1991, Conan O’Brien teamed up with Robert Smigel (TV Funhouse, SNL, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog) to create a pilot called Lookwell! starring Adam West. The basic premise was about Ty Lookwell, an actor who used to be the star of a 70s detective show, but now is struggling to find work as an actor, only making money by teaching an acting class on the side. However, even though he was never a real detective, he keeps coming across cases that catch his attention and decides to intervene… badly. It’s a lot like The Naked Gun, but not quite as broad a parody. Presented below is the entire pilot.
Sample quote:
Student: “How’d you get beat up, Mr. Lookwell?”
Lookwell: “I’m not exactly sure, Suzanne. The working-class mind is strange and unpredictable.”
