@@elcheapo9444 Dave is one of the most honored entertainers in TV history - nominated for over 50 Emmys, winning over 10 times, as well receiving the Kennedy Center Honors and the Mark Twain Award for Humor. He got paid many millions to host a talk show for over 30 years. He's been praised as a comedy icon by the likes of Conan, Colbert, and Jon Stewart. Clearly you are the one on the outside.

Dave's predilection for holding on to his facial fur in Present Day, now becomes abundantly clear: he wants to tell anyone who 'suggests' he shave, to take a be like good dandruff and flake off. Paul and the Band did wonders with the musical accompaniment: from the menace of The Godfather theme, to shave-and-a-haircut, two bits'. Mahvahlous.

That was actually not a good shave. Besides the 2 cuts (lip and chin), sideburns were cut unevenly, and there were spots missed like around his lips, under the chin, and under the cheekbone. I didn't see the full bit, maybe Dave was yapping and got nicked, maybe he called it off for time.
