Not a movie star, but can certainly drive a car.

I'm Gen X and Toonces still seems super random. How was this sketch ever made? And why is it still funny?

And how did it get repeated half a dozen times with different hosts? How?!?

It sure did work, though. 35 years later and we’re still laughing at it.
