Also, who is Andy Richter playing for this time?
Not far from here.
All right, you ready?
Here's your first question.
Gene Kelly went from being a dance instructor in Pittsburgh to one of the biggest movie stars of all time.
What was among his many secrets of success?
A, custom-made motorized tap shoes.
B, pants that were one size too small to accentuate his butt.
Or C, whatever the music you heard watching him on screen, on set he was always dancing to the same song, Home on the Range.
Uh, I think it's the butt pants.
You're right.
And if you've ever seen him, you'd know that's true.
Not only did he have his pants made a little tight, he would sometimes make sure his male co-star's pants were a little loose.
Kelly went on after his own career on screen to be a director.
He directed the movie Hello Dolly.
And the star of that film, Michael Crawford, said that he got the part after Kelly said which of these to him.
Was it A, quote, you remind me of a young me before I knew how to dance.
B, quote, we can shoot somebody with talent from the waist down and edit it in.
Or C, quote, we're looking for an attractive idiot.
