This hilarious skit is from “The New Show” and featured the late John Candy.
Thanks to the awesome Mark Anderson, The Elizabeth Terry Seaks Senior Furniture Conservator at the Winterthur/ University of Delaware Art Conservation Program, for sharing this with me.
The humor is spot on, including the all-to-common need to explain why hand work is so expensive, even on cheap machine-made items. And don’t miss the masking tape scene near the end.
