Chris Langham* in his one WLIIA appearance works well with the comparative veterans, even John, both of them repeatedly going past the buzzer in FATS.  The episode is notable for a lot of Mike/Sandi, especially in their FATS, where a boss falls in love with his secretary.  There's also some John/Sandi, in Props and Party Quirks, with John as Society Wit.  (And, yes, I know they're both gay.)  There aren't really any stand-out games here, it's just generally entertaining.


*He would be found guilty in 2007 of downloading footage of child abuse, which he claimed was a way he was working through issues about his own abuse as a child.  Understandably, this was the end of his career as a performer, and to some degree, yes, it does overshadow this episode, particularly the couple jokes about, well, pedophilia.  As with Woody Allen's movies, I try to separate the creators from the creative work, but that's never 100% possible.  I do want to address it here and say that, whatever crimes he committed, he is entertaining in this episode.
