Episode: “Halloween”,
in which Mr. Jimmy James informs the staff at WNYX that they are banned from
the station’s annual Halloween bacchanalia if they don’t get over their
coolness and wear costumes. This leads to some truly horrifying and terrifying
circumstances as Dave Nelson slips into “Kids in the Hall”-style drag and learns
he’s more attractive as a woman, Bill McNeil gets his palms read and learns he
has a mere 36 years left to live, and Matthew Brock dresses up like the
construction worker from the Village People and does the robot. In the
episode’s most disturbing turn of events, Joe Garrelli discovers that standing
on his toes and claiming to be dressed as “Joe’s taller brother” is no longer
an acceptable Halloween costume. The unceasing nightmare of it all!
