"Episode 111" - On
the next episode of "Just for Laughs," TUESDAY, AUGUST 28
(8:00-8:30 p.m., ET), an occupied port-a-potty floats away; a paramedic
tests the reflexes of a man strapped to a gurney by "hitting"
him with a bat; a patch of grass lurks up behind bystanders sitting on a
bench; a "gorilla" tries to escape from a large crate; an
elderly lady walks around with a "knife" in her back; and two
men dressed in biohazard suits accidentally spill a barrel full of
"hazardous" material into a public pool, sending swimmers
scurrying out of the water.
NUNS POSE FOR PHOTOS WITH PICTURES OF NEARLY NUDE MEN, ON ABC'S
"JUST FOR LAUGHS"
"Episode 112" - Stretch out those stomach muscles and brace
yourselves for more laughs on ABC's "Just for Laughs," TUESDAY,
AUGUST 28 (8:30-9:00 p.m., ET). Knee-slapping gags include unsuspecting
bystanders who lend a hand to start off a race, only to inadvertently
"shoot" and "kill" a bird with a starter's gun; nuns
soliciting assistance from strangers to take their photo alongside
pictures of half-naked men; a "broken" lever sending a painter
plunging into the water; a hidden speaker sending pedestrians scrambling
with the frightful noise of screeching tires; and a drunken parking lot
attendant crashing into a parked car.
Rick Miller hosts.
