Notes

Guests

• Bobcat Goldthwait: Bobcat Goldthwait is a comedian, screenwriter and director who is most well known for his bizarre tone of voice and dark comedy. Goldthwait became established in comedy alongside actors and comedians like Tom Kenny and Robin Williams. In 1994, when this episode aired, Goldthwait was most likely promoting The Moxy Show, on which he starred.

• Ramones: The Ramones are a punk band from New York City who are credited as being one of the founders of the punk movement. Their short snogs like "Blitzkrieg Bop" and "The KKK Took My Baby Away" provided stark contrast from the heavy metal bands which dominated popular rock music at the time. At the time of the interview, the band had gone through several line-up changes and featured Joey Ramone, Johnny Ramone, C.J. Ramone and Marky Ramone. Of those members, only Joey and Johnny were original members. The band was promoting their 1993 covers album, Acid Eaters.
