Clip of (Back in) the Day. The other day I was looking thru some old tapes (Chocolate Tour era) and came across some footage of Guy Mariano all filmed in a single afternoon. That was Guy's MO back then. Call me up out of the blue. Say he had some things he wanted to do. Go film 'em all in a relatively short amount of time, often doing the trick multiple times and back to back. Sometimes the footage would make it into the video and sometimes, inexplicably, they wouldn't. Always his call. And then he'd disappear for a few months. That's how he did it.
