This is followed by a man with a huge brain on the top of his head who sings of the recent scientific discovery that there may be something genetic that makes one person different from another. Next is a sketch about an isolated tribe of aborigines and what happens to their culture when a crate of show music and movie memorabilia is dropped onto their island from a passing ¡et. What do you think happens? They become fans! But during the ritual where they conjure the gods of stage and screen by costuming themselves as primitive versions of their idols—Mae West in sea shells with an octopus for a hat, Barbra Streisand with bamboo fingernails and a toucan bill for a nose—they inadvertently make contact with the other side and the real Judy Garland appears. It is now time for the finale ultimo, but Jay refuses to do it. The costume, an outlandish spandex creation with bulbs and wires all over it, is too dangerous in his opinion. But one of the bare-chested chorus boys is willing to take his place. When the costume does prove too dangerous, Howard is left without a finale—much to Jay's delight. But Howard triumphs in the end, proving that as long as there is one artist with talent, ingenuity and a genuine desire to entertain, the show will go on. Using old garbage bags, dirty laundry and newspapers, Howard fashions a sumptuously tacky finale culminating in his grand entrance as a huge picnic table. One look at that and who wouldn't yell "whoop dee-doo!"
