Hi, Rob Diener again, here to tell you I've decided that Billy Crystal is worse than Jerry Lewis, because Billy Crystal has had the benefit of seeing how much of a prick Jerry Lewis is.

Billy Crystal was 28 when he appeared on "Saturday Night Live with Howard Cosell" and, later, "All in the Family". When he was 29 he was on Saturday Night Live for a single episode in he show's first season. Then he got his big break: a small role in the TV movie, "SST: Death Flight". Billed above him are such notables as Barabara "The Six Million Dollar Man" Anderson, Burt "People Do the Craziest Things" Convy, Peter "Valley of Mystery" Graves, Lorne "Battlestar Galactica" Green, Susan "Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror" Hubley, Tina "Look What's Happened to Rosemary's Baby" Louise, George "Look What's Happened to Rosemary's Baby" Maharis, Burgess "There Goes the Groom" Meredith, Doug "The Virginian" McClure, Martin "Adam-12" Milner, Brock "the Chief of Detectives in ‘Soylent Green' "Peters, Robert "Dead Gay Dad" Reed, Susan, Cosa Nostra, Arch Enemy of the FBI" Strasberg, and Misty Rowe, the winner of Miss Miniskirt 1971, who later went on to play Fanny in "Meatballs Part II". Then Billy Crystal. (The only real celebrities to follow Billy in the credits is Regis "Intimate Portrait: Kelly Ripa" Philbin, Paul "Saved by the Bell: Hawaiian Style" Napier, Alain "The Danish Connection" Patrick, Richard "The Invisible Avenger" Derr, Ric "The Swinging Cheerleaders" Carrott , Walter "Suicide Battalion" Maslow, and of course Robert Ito, who I'm sure we all remember as Books Monahan on the series "Mom P.I." (if you don't remember the show, let this IMDB testimonial from some Australian guy tell you why you should).

Summary: Watch out kids!! It's Mom P.I!!
Who'd have thought that in 1990, a temultuous troublesome year at best, TV could have served up such a wholesome and delicious slice of fun-pie. A portion large enough for the whole family!! (Even Grandma!!) Mom P.I sizzles as the funny, sexy, and altogether edible crime fighting vixen as we discover that sometimes the toughest thing to get to the bottom of is your teenage son's bedroom floor!! But seriously, if the show taught us one thing (and it taught us many) was that Mom's always watching. So before you go taking that extra bed time cookie take a look over your shoulder or you might find yourself in trouble with Mom. Mom P.I.

That's quite a testimonial. Anyway, to end all this, it turns out Billy Crystal used to write for "The Love Boat". That's pretty funny.

All right, that's it for me. Thank you. I hope you've enjoyed this piece of scholarship, and I'll see you in hell.
