Justin: Tommy Lasorda was on the radio today. Do you know who he is?

Lauren: Duh, of course I do! He was the dad on "Mr. Belvedere."

Justin: Wait, isn't that the name of the new movie with Brad Pitt where he ages backwards?

Lauren: What?! I don't even think that movie exists. It was a TV show in the '80s about a British housekeeper who solved everyone's problems. Anyway, I think it was Bob Uecker.

Justin: Wanda Sykes was supposed to be in a similar show where she was a rich housekeeper, but she turned it down because it was too stupid.

Lauren: You know what she should be in? A remake of "Amen."

Justin: What's Amen?

Lauren: What were you doing in the '80s?! "Amen" was a show with Sherman Hemsley. It was funny because he was supposed to be religious, but he was actually kind of a sassy and sometimes a jerk. But everyone liked him anyway. You know what I mean?

Justin: Uhh...

Lauren: You know, like that one guy from "Deep Space Nine" with the weird ears.

Justin: Quark?

Lauren: Exactly like him.

Sherman jump ropes in the opening titles of Amen. I remember that much.
Do you remember the Mr. Belvedere fan club skit on SNL?
HI-larious!
