That is FABULOUS.

As the original or as a replacement? The buzz was that before Bierko was signed they were trying to get Steve Martin, Martin Short and Scott Bakula.

Oh man, awesome.

And I love that Shipoopi has its own page on Wikipedia.

As a replacement.

Scott Bakula would've been great.

Excellent! I love closet musical theater fans.

Ray Bolger turned down the original.

Some interesting former Prof. Hills:

Bert Parks
Ed McMahon
Forrest Tucker

That was awesome!

Bierko was awesome, though. I am surprised the show did not have a longer run. It was really good.

Too funny! That made me smile, especially at the end when he called himself an ass. Whee!

I would really have loved to see Steve Martin. That would have been neat, though I love Scott Bakula, too.
