00:00:00You know, when I was a kid, I didn't have many friends, I was pretty much a loner, but
00:00:26then I started watching Hooch and Daddio.
00:00:28Hooch and Daddio, it changed my life.
00:00:32From what to what.
00:00:33When I was in third grade, I got two gerbils, and I named one Hooch and the other one Daddio,
00:00:48and Hooch was just like Hooch, and Daddio was just like Daddio.
00:00:53It was amazing.
00:00:55And then Hooch ate Daddio.
00:01:55It was the quintessential American TV cop show of the 80s.
00:02:08It was immaculate writing, excellent acting, and Daddio's bottom was rather nice as well.
00:02:15It is so cool.
00:02:17Not only that, but everybody has their favorite characters.
00:02:19There's one for everyone.
00:02:21Chris Anage, who played Hooch.
00:02:30That guy was the coolest.
00:02:32It's like the Beatles vs. the Stones thing, you know?
00:02:35There were those who were into Hooch, and then there are the people who are really into
00:02:39Daddio.
00:02:48But they wouldn't have gotten anywhere without the tips that Squeegee gave them.
00:02:58D'Arcy represented all the girls who dreamed about hanging out with Hooch and Daddio.
00:03:01Because her clothes were so cool.
00:03:11My sister and I used to argue over who would marry Ace.
00:03:14He was so cute.
00:03:15You know, there's only one man who can keep Hooch and Daddio in line.
00:03:33Back in 83, I was looking at this Japanese magazine, and this girl had put an ad in there.
00:03:39Her name was June Kujimo.
00:03:41She was starting a Hooch and Daddio international fan club.
00:03:44And over the years, we've exchanged letters and emails and such, and she's going to actually
00:03:48be at the end of the year convention.
00:03:50So it's all very, very exciting.
00:03:51Hey, Mike.
00:03:52Hey, Ted.
00:03:53How's it going?
00:03:54Good.
00:03:55Well, you know, take it easy this time, okay?
00:04:00Mike kind of had a problem at the last convention.
00:04:02He kind of OG'd, over-geeked.
00:04:05The studio gave the go-ahead to produce a pilot, so we were rushed into the casting
00:04:10phase.
00:04:11We had a cattle call.
00:04:12We saw a lot of people, saw a lot of tapes, and I never will forget it.
00:04:19It was the last day of casting, and an agent called, and he said, I've got this guy.
00:04:24He's a really great actor, and I think you should see him.
00:04:27So we scheduled an appointment, and in walked Chris Anich.
00:04:32I got a call from my agent about this new show that was being cast.
00:04:36It was a detective show, and the money would be pretty good from what he said, but I just
00:04:42wasn't really sold on the idea.
00:04:47I was in New York, doing a lot of experimental theater at the time.
00:04:52You inspire me.
00:04:57Amy!
00:05:00No!
00:05:04No!
00:05:07So, I just wasn't sure if Hooch and Daddy-O was quality work, but if the pilot took off
00:05:20the television, the exposure would be, you know, fantastic.
00:05:27We found our Daddy-O by way of a laundry detergent commercial.
00:05:30Oh boy, Mom's really going to be mad, and I'll never get this stain out.
00:05:36Well, maybe with the help of Sudsy.
00:05:39Sudsy will get anything out.
00:05:42I promise.
00:05:44No one will ever know.
00:05:47Thanks, Sudsy.
00:05:49I can always count on Advantage Detergent to remove even the toughest stains.
00:05:57We weren't convinced of his acting ability, per se, but he had really great hair, and
00:06:04we thought he'd be a good match for Chris.
00:06:06It was weird, though, man, because I really hadn't had that much acting experience, you
00:06:11know?
00:06:12I mean, I had done a couple of high school plays, you know, but that was about it.
00:06:17So anyway, when I turned 18, I moved to Los Angeles, and my next-door neighbor was a casting
00:06:24associate at this small agency, right?
00:06:27Anyway, he got me an agent, and I got a phone call like a week later, dude.
00:06:33The only real female lead we had was Amy Ells as Darcy.
00:06:37She started out as a schoolteacher in the district that Hooch and Daddy-O patrolled.
00:06:42But I guess they felt that my character wasn't provocative enough, plus they wanted to put
00:06:50me in more revealing costumes.
00:06:52At first, I didn't like being used as a sex symbol, yet I have to tell you, I still get
00:07:02fan letters from young girls all over the world, interestingly enough, mostly from Thailand,
00:07:10thanking me for giving them the confidence to be themselves.
00:07:17My favorite episode ever was the one where Hooch and Daddy-O broke into the headquarters
00:07:20of Mr. Cross.
00:07:21He was like this big crime lord.
00:07:22Yeah, that's the one where Ace gets shot, and you don't know if he's gonna live or not.
00:07:25It was a cliffhanger, you know, like, who shot J.R.?
00:07:27I mean, everybody was talking about that.
00:07:28Yeah.
00:07:32Let's do this.
00:07:37Okay, Cross!
00:07:38We can do this the easy way, or the hard way.
00:07:42You'll never take me alive, maple bomb!
00:07:44Never underestimate the power of justice, Cross.
00:07:46In the end, good will prevail.
00:07:48Daddy-O, look out!
00:07:52Paper or plastic, punk!
00:07:57Cross!
00:07:58Have any nuts?
00:07:59Innocent lives have been taken already!
00:08:01Long before you unravel my plans, I'll own this city, and you will die.
00:08:14Tell you what, you're a little mysterious.
00:08:22Hey, guys, I got the burgers!
00:08:24Ace, get back!
00:08:25For the love of God, take cover, Ace!
00:08:41No!
00:08:46Cover me, you got it.
00:08:52Oh!
00:08:57Ace!
00:08:58Ace!
00:08:59Looch, I don't think I'm gonna make it.
00:09:05No!
00:09:07Of course, Ace did make it.
00:09:09The following season, we find out that Mr. Cross is actually the estranged brother of Captain Grayson.
00:09:15For an actor to play two such rich, fully realized characters, well, it was a time in my life I'll never forget.
00:09:25Enough is enough, Cross!
00:09:27You're a coward!
00:09:28Nothing but a dirty, rotten coward!
00:09:31Now show yourself!
00:09:45Holy cats!
00:09:51I think there's a lot of apprehension amongst the cast about this reunion.
00:09:57We had a lot of tense, action-packed episodes.
00:10:01Mind you, we were no NYPD Blue or Hill Street Blues, for that matter.
00:10:07But we were head and shoulders.
00:10:10That show was nothing without that red car.
00:10:19I'm pretty proud of the script we have now, but we won't really know how it turns out
00:10:27until we have the first read-through with all of the, uh...
00:10:32...actors.
00:10:34I don't really have any problem with the script.
00:10:36In fact, I'm totally stoked by it, man.
00:10:39It's just that my thing is, you're never sure if it's gonna be all the same as it was.
00:10:45Like with Chris Anage, I totally respect the guy.
00:10:48But from what I hear, there's some concern from him about how he's gonna play the character.
00:10:54I don't know.
00:10:56Chris Anage, I totally respect the guy.
00:10:59But from what I hear, there's some concern from him and other people in the cast
00:11:04that I might slip back into my old habits and whatnot.
00:11:09You mean your drug problem?
00:11:11Whoa! Hey!
00:11:13I mean, calling it a problem is kind of inappropriate, I think.
00:11:16I mean, I never, never miss a day of work.
00:11:21Although, at the moment, I can't really remember if that's true or not.
00:11:27He can't do more than a couple of lines at a time.
00:11:30Keep them short. One, two, boom, boom.
00:11:32One word, two words, I'll get right on.
00:11:35I've been keeping busy, doing a lot of live theater, mostly.
00:11:38L.A. or...?
00:11:39Mount Pleasant, Iowa.
00:11:41Have you been there? It's near Fairfield and Burlington.
00:11:43Um, no, I don't think so.
00:11:45It's great. You gotta come and visit.
00:11:47I got this regular gig I'm seeing at the old Thresher's Festival.
00:11:50We got a dinner theater there, too.
00:11:51Here you go.
00:11:52Oh, thanks.
00:11:53Here's a couple extra. It's got the website on there.
00:11:55Oh, on .com.
00:11:57Johnson, are we gonna meet the director today? What's going on?
00:11:59Well, the one we had fell through.
00:12:01Fell through? What do you mean? What happened?
00:12:03We are in the process of finding a replacement right now.
00:12:06Everything will be A-OK, Mr. Anage.
00:12:08So you're still looking for a director, then, right?
00:12:11Well, we have a list of five or six names to choose from.
00:12:13Let's make it seven.
00:12:14Well, I don't...
00:12:15Come on, you remember the episode I did?
00:12:17Hooch above the world so high, I was doing the hostage...
00:12:20All that?
00:12:21Extreme closeness of you, yes, I remember.
00:12:28How many hostages, Captain?
00:12:29Seven. Five women and two handicapped children.
00:12:32It's bad, Hooch. Real bad.
00:12:35What's he want?
00:12:36He wants the cop that killed his brother.
00:12:38Does he know what the cop looks like?
00:12:40No, but...
00:12:41Then say no more.
00:12:42I'm coming in. I'm coming in. I'm coming in.
00:12:45Hooch, you can't do this.
00:12:47I have to do this. I'm a cop.
00:12:51It's my job.
00:12:57Cover me.
00:12:58You got it.
00:12:59That was the final episode of season three.
00:13:13Our contracts were up that year and everyone renegotiated.
00:13:18Everyone got more money.
00:13:19It was never a question of not coming back because we all wanted to.
00:13:24Oh, honey, everybody re-upped right away.
00:13:28Except for Chris Adage.
00:13:30He pictured himself as a double threat, an actor and a director.
00:13:37They wanted to give me the same money they were giving Jim and Amy.
00:13:40And I just thought, with all due respect to those two,
00:13:44I was worth a lot more than they were, combined.
00:13:48A decision was made to recast.
00:13:50Yeah, I never agreed with that move.
00:13:54I mean, this wasn't even the case where the Dukes of Hazzard
00:13:57got Coy and Vance to replace Boo and Luke, you know?
00:14:00I mean, they brought in this Latino jackass.
00:14:04They bring this guy in, he steps right in and replaces him.
00:14:08A brand new Hooch with no explanations. Nada.
00:14:12And then they didn't even bother to replace me with someone
00:14:14who looked even remotely like me.
00:14:18I felt like Barbara Bel Geddes must have felt.
00:14:20Old and tired and getting my ass kicked by Donna Reed.
00:14:23I played Detective Hooch in season four
00:14:26when the producers were having trouble with that other guy.
00:14:31Basically, I stepped into a really comfortable pair of shoes and ran with it.
00:14:36Working on that show was probably the highlight of my life.
00:14:40I got paid for indulging in my love of guns, my love of acting.
00:14:46I heard they were doing a reunion film, and what can I say?
00:14:49I would have loved to have been asked,
00:14:50but I'm really pretty busy with my current project.
00:14:58We have one way of doing things around here. Is that clear?
00:15:00Yes.
00:15:01You tell you and all your little friends to start listening to me
00:15:04so you don't get hurt.
00:15:09Can you handle that?
00:15:10I can.
00:15:11Are you mad enough?
00:15:12Yes.
00:15:13You signed the waiver. Did you read the waiver?
00:15:16Sir, I've been in this business for five years.
00:15:19Looking back, it was absolutely amazing stepping out on the national stage,
00:15:24and Jim Usley was fantastic. Real pro.
00:15:29We had no chemistry whatsoever.
00:15:33You ever see that commercial where the chocolate gets dipped in the peanut butter
00:15:37and they become two great tastes that taste great together?
00:15:40Okay, that was Chris and me.
00:15:42Now, if you took dog shit and dipped that in peanut butter,
00:15:47that was Isaiah and me.
00:15:49The biggest problem was that we were an action show,
00:15:52and Isaiah was not really smooth in the fight scenes.
00:15:57He fought like a second grader.
00:16:00We had to be really clever in the edits.
00:16:03Yeah!
00:16:13Yeah!
00:16:14Finally, we were able to work out a deal with Chris,
00:16:17and he was back in the saddle again.
00:16:19Or back in the vinyl seats, I should say.
00:16:24But unfortunately, with Chris' return, we had what they call budget issues,
00:16:28and we had a meeting, and they decided to reimagine my characters.
00:16:32Let her go, Reginald. Let her go, and I promise you'll get a fair trial.
00:16:36No dice, Harvey.
00:16:37You lied to me when we were kids, and you're lying to me now.
00:16:41If I'm going, I'm taking her with me.
00:16:48No!
00:16:55Justice is thicker than blood.
00:16:59Oh, Captain, my sweet Captain.
00:17:03Darcy, I'm heading for that final roll call in the sky.
00:17:09Captain Grayson.
00:17:11Here.
00:17:13So, both of my finely honed, fully realized portrayals for television
00:17:20were wiped out in a blaze of glory.
00:17:25The thing about Hooch and Daddio was that you had drugs, prostitutes,
00:17:32and more violence than had ever been on television up to that point.
00:17:38Hooch and Daddio used their weapons all the time.
00:17:47Even when it seemed unnecessary.
00:17:50Captain Grayson drank in the office, and we can assume that Squeegee had a substance problem,
00:17:57but they got away with it because it all seemed superficial,
00:18:02and because they made it look like so damn much fun.
00:18:08It was like watching a comic book come to life.
00:18:10I remember an episode where Hooch and Daddio followed some criminals into a skating rink
00:18:17and proceeded to just beat the crap out of those guys.
00:18:29Ninjas!
00:18:47No!
00:18:58I mean, fans, they couldn't get enough of Hooch and Daddio.
00:19:02I mean, there were rumors flying around, spinning around,
00:19:04there's going to be a spinoff, there's going to be a spinoff.
00:19:07And according to my sources, and my sources are very strong,
00:19:12it was supposed to be a star vehicle for Oscar Madrid.
00:19:15Ace in the Hole was an original pilot.
00:19:17The concept was a medieval wizard from medieval times.
00:19:20So once we've established the medieval aspect,
00:19:24we would send Ace in the Wizard deep into the future through a wormhole.
00:19:29Sometimes they were so deep into the future that it seemed like the present.
00:19:33But that was mainly due to a limited budget.
00:19:40So dude, has your agent talked to you about that TV convention in June?
00:19:43Yeah, I got an invitation, but I don't think I'm going to go.
00:19:46I mean, I know I really should and everything,
00:19:48but parties, it's just not my kind of thing.
00:19:52If I wanted to experience a t-recon, I would just rent it, you know?
00:19:56Uh, no.
00:19:58Listen, man, these TV conventions, they could be a lot of work,
00:20:01and that's a lot of handshaking bullshit.
00:20:03But I gotta tell you, man, when these guys throw a party, it's unbelievable.
00:20:07I mean, it's like, it's strictly so late, man.
00:20:10I mean, you got strippers, you got midgets, you got contortionists.
00:20:15It's a freak show, dude.
00:20:17And you wouldn't believe the women they get for these things.
00:20:19Seriously, man, it's a killer.
00:20:22Yeah, whatever. We'll see what happens.
00:20:25Okay, here we go.
00:20:27Action!
00:20:30You hold something in your hand.
00:20:37What is it?
00:20:41It's a cup of tea.
00:20:45Chris is my prize student, which goes without saying.
00:20:51We've done a lot of work together, and so we...
00:20:54At least I would like to think we inspire each other.
00:20:58We're working on new expressions of movement for the Hooch character.
00:21:03Violent gyrations.
00:21:06The cup is getting warmer, do you touch?
00:21:10And warmer.
00:21:13And warmer.
00:21:17Oh, God, it's hot! Oh, you spilled it!
00:21:20Run! Run!
00:21:28That is good.
00:21:29It's about violent gyrations.
00:21:32It's more about, not just what did Mommy and Daddy do to me when I was growing up,
00:21:36what didn't they do?
00:21:38There's a scene in the script for the new film in which Hooch and the other one
00:21:43are interrogating a suspect, and I think Chris wanted to give Hooch
00:21:48a new level of intimidation, as has never been seen on TV before.
00:21:55Sometimes it seems as if my characterizations come from heaven.
00:22:00You know, it's like, um, Michelangelo.
00:22:04He would get these huge hunks of marble,
00:22:09and he'd say,
00:22:12Inside is a sleeping form.
00:22:18And he would take his chisel and his hammer and he would just chip away.
00:22:24Hooch is a real character because I freed him.
00:22:31I've given him life.
00:22:35Well, of course, it would have been great for the reunion movie
00:22:38if Squeegee had come out of the closet.
00:22:42As a gay actor, I was very proud of the fact that
00:22:45Hooch and Daddy-O never really shied away from controversy.
00:22:49In fact, one of the highest rated episodes we ever did
00:22:53was the gay club episode.
00:22:56The gay episode was one of those
00:23:00that really makes you realize
00:23:03how groundbreaking this television program was.
00:23:09Other shows alluded to homosexuality.
00:23:14Three's Company, Laverne and Shirley.
00:23:18But Hooch and Daddy-O met it head on.
00:23:24What do you think, Hooch?
00:23:27If Squeegee's sources are correct,
00:23:29our drug dealer has a private office in the back.
00:23:41Officer DeBecchio, are you in place?
00:23:44That's a 10-4, Daddy-O.
00:23:46The office is located behind the double doors, behind the bar.
00:23:50The password is French horn. Over.
00:23:53Come on, honey, you're on.
00:24:03Let's do this. Right on.
00:24:08What are you having?
00:24:11French horn.
00:24:15Go on in.
00:24:18Hi. Hi.
00:24:20Don't mind me. I'm just enjoying the view.
00:24:30You know...
00:24:32I'm just too much.
00:24:37Do you have birthday money?
00:24:39Yeah, it's all right here.
00:24:41You got the weed?
00:24:44I have decided to change the rules.
00:24:47No more changes, Miguel.
00:24:49And, though, you supplied the buzz.
00:24:51We had a deal.
00:24:53Your names are Hooch and Daddy-O.
00:24:57You are undercover detectives.
00:25:00You are here to shut me down, no?
00:25:03Look, Miguel, we told you.
00:25:05We're lovers.
00:25:07We have decided to go into business together.
00:25:09As far as being cops,
00:25:11I don't know what you're talking about.
00:25:13Now, are we gonna do this or not?
00:25:15I have decided to give you a choice.
00:25:18Either you can submit to a strip search,
00:25:21to check for wires,
00:25:23or you can prove that you are lovers.
00:25:28The choice is yours.
00:25:33We actually taped two different versions
00:25:36of the scene with Miguel, the gay drug lord,
00:25:40and the original,
00:25:42Chris Anich and Jim Usley,
00:25:45Hooch and Daddy-O.
00:25:47Now, they shared a long, deep, passionate kiss
00:25:53in order to keep their secret identities...
00:26:00...secret.
00:26:05Take it easy.
00:26:09Let's do this.
00:26:11Hey!
00:26:14But the studio was kind of taken aback by this.
00:26:19They didn't want to use it.
00:26:21So they went with the other option,
00:26:25in which Hooch and...
00:26:31...Daddy-O beat the living daylights
00:26:35out of a room full of homosexual bad guys.
00:26:43You're gonna slap him!
00:26:45Oh, that's right!
00:26:47You sneaky cuffs!
00:26:49You slap him!
00:26:51I'll slap him around!
00:26:53I'll slap him!
00:26:55Oh, no!
00:27:01The studio was much happier with this version.
00:27:07They thought this one was a lot better.
00:27:17I was really frustrated working on the show
00:27:20because it was all about the guys.
00:27:25I wanted to do more than just show up arbitrarily
00:27:29in an episode and have nothing to do with the story.
00:27:32Finally, I went to Mr. Davis and said,
00:27:35I need to be more than the hooker with the heart of gold.
00:27:39I told him that I wanted to write for the show,
00:27:42and eventually they let me take a shot at it.
00:27:46Unfortunately, it wasn't for an episode.
00:27:49It's chock-full of energy boosters
00:27:51that will give your kids the get-up-and-go
00:27:53to get through their busy day.
00:27:55Hoochies are sugar-frosted police cars
00:27:57with marshmallow badges.
00:27:59Daddy-Os are honey-dipped O's with marshmallow pistols.
00:28:02Kids, what have I told you about eating in the living room?
00:28:05Uh-oh.
00:28:07Am I going to have to take you in?
00:28:10And now, new squeegees.
00:28:12The chocolate cereal for real chocolate lovers.
00:28:15Love that chocolate.
00:28:17Vote for your favorite today.
00:28:20Boy, I sure am going to miss Tate and Wilton.
00:28:23Come on, Ace. You've got to tell us what's going on.
00:28:26Is Darcy back in the skin trade or something serious happened?
00:28:29Guys, I know you're not here to work a case.
00:28:32It's our job.
00:28:34But cut! Cut!
00:28:37Hold on for a minute. Why are you saying cut?
00:28:39You don't say cut. I say cut.
00:28:41Pull your heels, champ. Take five.
00:28:48What are you, stupid? Are you stupid?
00:28:50This is television, Jim. You can't say that.
00:28:52Oh, I'm sorry. You can add dialogue.
00:28:54But I can't add dialogue. Is that what's going on?
00:28:56Did somebody fire the director and not tell me?
00:28:58It's a well-known fact amongst fans of the show
00:29:01that at the beginning, Jim really admired Chris.
00:29:04In fact, Jim would ask Chris advice on how to play a scene.
00:29:09Later on, things changed.
00:29:12Chris would start giving Jim advice whether he wanted it or not.
00:29:16That was the reason a lot of people think
00:29:19that Jim began to develop his drug problem.
00:29:22It was either that or the time when his cousin Chester
00:29:26and five guys pulled a train on him in the back of his brother's van.
00:29:31I remember as a little kid, my parents wouldn't let me watch Hooch and Daddy-O,
00:29:35but I always caught the cartoon show every Saturday morning.
00:29:38Whenever I'm at a convention, the first most asked question is,
00:29:42why don't you have your own show?
00:29:45And the second most asked question is,
00:29:48why weren't you included in the Hooch and Daddy-O Super Fun Cartoon Show?
00:29:53And the answer is...
00:29:59I was never told about it.
00:30:02It really hurts because I feel like the fans,
00:30:06they really look up to me as a Stovecchio super cop.
00:30:11Yet on the cartoon show, I'm replaced by a talking bird.
00:30:17I guess they kind of rushed the whole thing into production
00:30:20while the series was hot.
00:30:23But I kind of thought it was cute with the bright colors and the talking emu and all,
00:30:28but I guess it wasn't a good idea to feature fistfights and guns,
00:30:35Darcy the Hooker.
00:30:38Not a good combination.
00:30:40For kids, that is.
00:30:51Daddy-O, quick! Tippy's in trouble!
00:30:53I've got to take these two to the station and book them.
00:30:56They stole Guido's ice cream.
00:30:58There's no time! Tippy needs us!
00:31:04Jesus!
00:31:05That'll hold until we get back.
00:31:07Come on, Tippy. Let's go save Tippy.
00:31:21And now, back to Dick...
00:31:24and...
00:31:25Sammy!
00:31:30Coming up later this hour, full rundown on the fall TV season,
00:31:34including the Hooch and Daddy-O reunion movie.
00:31:37Of course, sometimes you're going to be seeing a lot more Daddy-O than you might have wanted.
00:31:42That's right, Dick.
00:31:44On the original series and upcoming television film,
00:31:47it usually portrays David, Daddy-O Mandelbaum, a straight-laced crime-fighting detective.
00:31:52But offscreen, it's a whole different story.
00:31:56This videotape made 15 years ago shows the actor in some very compromising positions.
00:32:01With an unidentified woman.
00:32:03Of course, it's a little tough to tell from the video which one is actually the woman.
00:32:08You got it, Dick.
00:32:10So far, phone calls to the actor's spokesperson have not been returned.
00:32:14That's going to leave a mark.
00:32:16My goodness! Oh, no he didn't!
00:32:18I don't even...
00:32:19That's it! I'm gone!
00:32:21I'm out! I'm out!
00:32:23Chris! Chris!
00:32:29Sarah, would you get Chris' agent on the phone, please?
00:32:35I just had to get out of that room.
00:32:37This whole thing with the video, it just threw me back to the old days
00:32:41when Jim's personal life would affect the rest of the show.
00:32:46When Jim goes down, it forces the rest of us to go down
00:32:50and nobody likes to be forced to go down.
00:32:53Well, the video was a wrecking ball.
00:32:56I hope it doesn't destroy too much of what we've worked for.
00:32:59But we've faced worse before and made it through.
00:33:05What I'd really like is to find that little prick who put that video out and wring his little neck.
00:33:11Hooch and Daddio?
00:33:13That's that Tom Hanks movie, right?
00:33:15The one where the dog drools all over him?
00:33:17I love that!
00:33:18They should make a sequel out of it.
00:33:20Wasn't that the cop show with the two women?
00:33:22The blonde and the fat chick?
00:33:24Sorry, I only watch PBS.
00:33:27Oh, I've had fans come up to me after shows I've done off-Broadway
00:33:32with their Hooch and Daddio t-shirts on and all.
00:33:36They're usually very respectful.
00:33:38But there's always the extremists.
00:33:40I had one come up to me at a stage door after a show
00:33:43and he said he collected used celebrity Band-Aids.
00:33:47This guy said that so far in his collection
00:33:49he had Band-Aids from me, Larry Storch and Rebecca DeBornay.
00:33:53Those are the kind that just make me shudder.
00:33:56I had a grandmother write to me
00:33:58and in her letter she said that she and her family would gather once a week
00:34:02to watch the show.
00:34:04And she said she included a picture of herself.
00:34:06And I thought, oh, what a sweetie.
00:34:10That's when I pulled the picture out and saw her buck-ass naked.
00:34:14And I mean, her titties were hanging like a pair of ID bags, man.
00:34:19And I swear to God, I couldn't get an erection for a week.
00:34:25There's this one fan at almost every convention
00:34:28that insists that Jim Usley is the father of her child.
00:34:31The weird thing is, she only calls him Daddy-O.
00:34:34If you're not giving away free cigarettes, get off my pole.
00:34:37Are there people here with a big check?
00:34:39No, ma'am, we're actually here to ask you about Hooch and Daddy.
00:34:42Oh, come on in, come on in.
00:34:44Sure.
00:34:45Watch your step.
00:34:48This is my daughter Jasmine.
00:34:50Say hi, Jasmine.
00:34:52Oh, gosh.
00:34:54Can I get you a beer or something?
00:34:56So how'd you meet Jim?
00:34:58Um, I mean, Daddy-O.
00:35:00That's a good story.
00:35:03Well, I had just moved to Los Angeles
00:35:07and was working for craft services, you know, on the set.
00:35:12None of the other actors would even talk to me.
00:35:15So that's why I was kind of surprised
00:35:17when Daddy-O kind of paid attention to me.
00:35:21He was such a big star.
00:35:23Well, that's when the fireworks started.
00:35:27That's when the fireworks began.
00:35:32I really don't remember much more than that.
00:35:35I mean, you know, it was the 80s.
00:35:39This is a videotape that I made with Daddy-O
00:35:43in this hotel room of us partying together.
00:35:46Ugh, we did some crazy things that night.
00:35:49So I, uh, I made several copies of this videotape
00:35:53and sent them to those entertainment shows.
00:35:57Hmm.
00:35:59I mean, it's my cry for help.
00:36:01Jasmine needs her Daddy-O.
00:36:03I can't imagine what trouble a young girl can get into
00:36:05if she doesn't have a strong man in her life.
00:36:08That's why this tape is so very important to me.
00:36:11It's the only evidence I have.
00:36:13Daddy-O and I were together.
00:36:15You want to see it?
00:36:17Sure.
00:36:18Jasmine, run outside and get your mom some cigarettes.
00:36:21Get her yourself.
00:36:23No you didn't, young lady.
00:36:25I said get outside and get your mom some cigarettes.
00:36:27Get out.
00:36:30What are you going to do with kids these days?
00:36:37It's very romantic.
00:36:44Daddy-O, Daddy-O.
00:36:48Woo-hoo!
00:37:03I fucked up my life so bad.
00:37:06Some cool action stuff, some car chases
00:37:08and who's some Daddy-O chasing some people.
00:37:11Which is cool for the fans that show up at these locations too.
00:37:15Hey, they love this kind of stuff.
00:37:17Johnson Davis called me into his office
00:37:19to talk about the sex video.
00:37:21This isn't good.
00:37:22I know.
00:37:23This isn't good.
00:37:24I know.
00:37:25Johnson sat me down and gave me his POV
00:37:27on what's happening.
00:37:29Someone has duplicated this goddamn video
00:37:32and now every fly-by-night program in the country
00:37:34is broadcasting this shit.
00:37:36When he first told me about it,
00:37:39I said well this should be easy.
00:37:41Let's just fix this.
00:37:42Fuck.
00:37:43Not only I said, let's just deal with this together.
00:37:46Fuck.
00:37:48I thought, well, let me be the one that takes the fall for it.
00:37:51Ah, fuck.
00:37:53And I had no problem with any of that.
00:37:55No problem with that whatsoever.
00:37:56My big concern is the fans.
00:37:59I hope this Daddy-O character
00:38:02that they've sort of mythologicalized
00:38:06you know, in their memory
00:38:08that I hope they realize there's a man behind the mask
00:38:12and I'm only human and I can make mistakes.
00:38:16So then what happened with the show?
00:38:18What caused the slump in the ratings and the cancellation?
00:38:21Hooch and Daddy-O versus Jack the Ripper.
00:38:23I guess they were really paying attention to the timeline
00:38:26because Jack the Ripper was dead.
00:38:31Was it time warp?
00:38:33Some sort of crazy sci-fi reason
00:38:35that enabled them to go back in time?
00:38:38Who knows?
00:38:39But there they were in London
00:38:41chasing this killer from a different century.
00:38:46To be honest,
00:38:47I thought they were using rejected scripts from the cartoon show.
00:38:53Let me tell you something, Daddy-O.
00:38:55This sure was a great idea,
00:38:57taking a vacation to jolly old England.
00:38:59I know what you mean.
00:39:00I can't wait to see Big Ben.
00:39:04Sounds like trouble.
00:39:05Let's go.
00:39:08What happened?
00:39:09He's killed another one.
00:39:10Another one?
00:39:11What do you mean?
00:39:12A prostitute.
00:39:13A prostitute?
00:39:14You mean someone's going around killing prostitutes?
00:39:17Yes.
00:39:18And his name is Jack the Ripper
00:39:20and he's been killing them left and right.
00:39:23Problem is, we just don't have enough blokes on the yard.
00:39:27I wish we had more help.
00:39:29You do now.
00:39:33Smashing!
00:39:36Is it fair to say that the Jack the Ripper episode
00:39:40is when people began to lose interest in the show?
00:39:43No.
00:39:46I, uh, I think it was...
00:39:50Okay, yeah.
00:39:51It's fair to say that's when the show started to decline.
00:39:56I thought we were adding some class.
00:39:58Heaven forbid we'd try to do something artistic.
00:40:01I'll tell you something right now.
00:40:03I may have been drunk.
00:40:05I may have been high.
00:40:06I may have been so whacked out on my skull
00:40:08that I didn't know whether I was dead or alive.
00:40:11But even I could see through the haze of my own bullshit
00:40:15and realize this was not a very good idea.
00:40:18And there's a scene where they chase Jack
00:40:20into a theater during a live performance.
00:40:24Talk about a train wreck.
00:40:26Oh, shit!
00:40:40What the hell was that?
00:40:42Keep going, keep going.
00:40:43I would not take this hand from thy wife.
00:40:45You go that way, I go down.
00:40:48Keep going.
00:40:49My God!
00:40:51Bloody hell!
00:40:53Let's do this.
00:41:24All right, Jack, let's see who you really are.
00:41:29The barbie!
00:41:31But why?
00:41:34When I was but a wee bitty boy,
00:41:37me mom left me tied up on the steps of an orphanage,
00:41:43beaten and starved.
00:41:46That's when the seeds of hatred were sown.
00:41:53And I swore vengeance...
00:41:57against her...
00:42:00and all women.
00:42:07Whistle.
00:42:09Good night, Governor.
00:42:16We had an established format, you know,
00:42:19and we didn't stick to it.
00:42:20I mean, Hooch and Daddio don't belong in England.
00:42:23They belong on the streets.
00:42:25I mean, that's what people responded to.
00:42:27There was a realism there, you know?
00:42:29I mean, me and Chris, we're from the streets.
00:42:32Where are you from again?
00:42:35Originally.
00:42:37Decent scripts wouldn't have helped at that point.
00:42:40There were certain people in the cast
00:42:45who were so far gone
00:42:48that we could have been doing Circus of the Stars
00:42:51and they wouldn't have known the difference.
00:42:53It was hard after the show.
00:42:56Not a lot of offers.
00:42:58But a few years back, I got an offer
00:43:01from an independent production company based in Georgia.
00:43:04I didn't realize at the time that they were based in southern Russia,
00:43:08but it turned out great.
00:43:10We did an adult anthology series based on biblical stories.
00:43:15I played Moses in the Amazing Glaze trilogy.
00:43:18Perhaps you've seen it? It was...
00:43:21No? No.
00:43:27The fire from your burning bush entices me.
00:43:31With my staff I shall part your Red Sea.
00:43:35Yea, verily.
00:43:37And anoint you with the sweet honey of my manhood.
00:43:45And I always get one fan at all of my convention appearances
00:43:49who comes right up to me and says,
00:43:52And I shall give unto you sweet honey by thee I forswear.
00:43:57It's great. Great stuff.
00:44:00I was fortunate enough to find another character
00:44:03that really captured my imagination.
00:44:06A couple of years after Hooch and Daddy wrapped,
00:44:09I accepted the title role in the first Frankenbitch film.
00:44:15For me, it was very... cathartic.
00:44:39And it must have been that way for a whole lot of my fans
00:44:43because it turned out to be quite a little moneymaker.
00:44:46So much so that we were able to film two sequels.
00:44:49Frankenbitch Doesn't Live Here Anymore
00:44:51and Frankenbitch 3, The Bitch Is Back.
00:44:58This is Natalie.
00:45:00Yes?
00:45:02Okay, just a minute, please.
00:45:04Mr. Davis?
00:45:06The studio's been trying to contact you all day.
00:45:08They need to speak to you.
00:45:11Johnson.
00:45:13Yeah, uh-huh.
00:45:15Why?
00:45:17What?
00:45:20Yeah, um, okay.
00:45:23Right, I'll let everyone know.
00:45:25Goodbye.
00:45:27What's going on?
00:45:29Um, I'll tell you at the production meeting.
00:45:35Don't worry.
00:45:36I think he just has to go over the proofs
00:45:38from the promo shots we took last week.
00:45:40We didn't do any promo shots last week.
00:45:43Okay, we talked about the video incident.
00:45:46Right.
00:45:48And everyone involved has agreed to put a lid on it.
00:45:50Yeah, I talked to Jim.
00:45:52Everything is A-okay.
00:45:54You see, everything is an A-okay, Johnson.
00:45:57This video incident hasn't turned out the way we'd hoped it would.
00:46:00It's been copied.
00:46:02Vendors are selling it on street corners.
00:46:04It's streaming on the Internet.
00:46:06It's everywhere.
00:46:08Haven't you seen the dailies?
00:46:10Look, we've known each other for a long time.
00:46:12I think we met, uh...
00:46:14At the Christmas party.
00:46:16Exactly, exactly.
00:46:18So there's a trust here.
00:46:20I mean, don't take this as a lack of respect.
00:46:22I respect you.
00:46:24I mean, you're a Hollywood legend.
00:46:26You brought back Herve Villachez in a variety show,
00:46:28and it almost worked.
00:46:30Man, don't forget what's happening this time.
00:46:32Exactly my point.
00:46:34The network doesn't need the protests.
00:46:36The network doesn't need the phone calls.
00:46:38What the network needs is sponsors.
00:46:40So...
00:46:42what are you saying?
00:46:46This film is not going to air.
00:46:48I'm sorry.
00:46:50So...
00:46:52what you're saying is...
00:46:54we push it back a few months, then?
00:46:56No.
00:46:58There's been too much bad publicity on this thing,
00:47:00and it's not dying down.
00:47:02It's a life of its own.
00:47:04Fox is even picking it up for a special on celebrity misadventures.
00:47:06Great!
00:47:08Won't that publicity just add to the hype?
00:47:10That dog don't hunt in middle America, Johnson.
00:47:12Well...
00:47:14then...
00:47:16I'll just take it to another network, then.
00:47:18We own 50% of the characters.
00:47:20We own 50% of the titles.
00:47:22We don't want it on our network,
00:47:24and we won't allow you to take it to a different network.
00:47:26You can't...
00:47:28We're moving on.
00:47:30You can!
00:47:32Don't you understand that this is a phenomenon?
00:47:34I'm sorry.
00:47:38This is not happening.
00:47:42At Christmas,
00:47:44my whole family would get together,
00:47:46and we'd gather around in front of the television
00:47:48to watch the holiday special.
00:47:50Now, this is the one where Mr. Cross
00:47:52has been stealing money from the orphanages,
00:47:54and there's this scene at the end
00:47:56where they hand out frozen turkeys
00:47:58to the orphans,
00:48:00and it's so beautiful.
00:48:02Squeegee had a great idea.
00:48:04That's right.
00:48:06I talked this kind policeman into not processing
00:48:08these turkeys as evidence
00:48:10and giving them right back to the orphanages
00:48:12they were stolen from.
00:48:14Just in time for Christmas.
00:48:16I'll take care of the paperwork.
00:48:18Now, I guess we all learned something special today.
00:48:20What? That stealing turkeys from orphanages
00:48:22on Christmas is one of the worst things
00:48:24a person can do?
00:48:26The only lesson my partner here is talking about is this.
00:48:28There are all kinds of turkeys in this world,
00:48:30but none of them are as bad
00:48:32as a giant turkey like Mr. Cross.
00:48:44I want to propose a toast, if I can.
00:48:48Johnson Davis.
00:48:50This guy right here.
00:48:52He gave me, as you guys all know,
00:48:54my first start in Hollywood.
00:48:56And, brother, let me tell you,
00:48:58I was down and out. You've got to remember this.
00:49:00I was on a bull train straight to hell,
00:49:02and he scooped me up,
00:49:04stamped my passport to Superstarville,
00:49:06and he did that for all of us.
00:49:08Here's to all of you.
00:49:10And especially to you, to Johnson Davis,
00:49:12because this guy has always been there for us.
00:49:14Every single one of us.
00:49:16I may be crazy, okay?
00:49:18I may be just imagining things,
00:49:20but I think we're about to open up
00:49:22a whole new chapter,
00:49:24and hooch and daddy-o!
00:49:26All right!
00:49:28It's you guys, man.
00:49:30You guys are awesome.
00:49:32Well, uh,
00:49:34why don't we order?
00:49:38You know what looks good here?
00:49:40What's that?
00:49:42The ribeye? Yes, the ribeye looks good.
00:49:44But you know what would be even better
00:49:46is some of that Hawaiian snapper.
00:49:48Yeah.
00:49:50But that's not on the menu.
00:49:52Snapper might be
00:49:54something that the chefs here don't like
00:49:56to prepare, or maybe
00:49:58the owner is allergic.
00:50:00Dude, you're Johnson Davis, man.
00:50:02Let's get this chef out here,
00:50:04and you can demand what you want.
00:50:06Jesus Christ, I'm not talking about fish,
00:50:08Jim. I'm talking about hooch and daddy-o.
00:50:10Like the Hawaiian
00:50:12snapper,
00:50:14hooch and daddy-o
00:50:16is not on the menu.
00:50:20Tell me you're kidding.
00:50:22Ah, who needs all that network bullshit?
00:50:24What's going on, Johnson?
00:50:26I'll tell you what's going on.
00:50:28I'll tell you all what's going on.
00:50:30Looks like Jim's little fuck flick
00:50:32has fucked us all out of a job!
00:50:34That's what's going on!
00:50:36You've driven this movie right into the ground!
00:50:38Once again, your selfishness
00:50:40has superseded the rights of all these people
00:50:42and all their hard work!
00:50:44That's it.
00:50:46Let's go. I'll tell you something else.
00:50:48You have always been
00:50:50a worthless actor!
00:50:52You were worthless then, and you're worthless now!
00:50:54You've never even heard
00:50:56of Uta Hagen!
00:51:06So, Jim, how do you feel
00:51:08about the recent turn of events?
00:51:10These past few months have been
00:51:12really hard.
00:51:16I feel just like Bruce Willis, man,
00:51:18in the sixth sense.
00:51:20I go around,
00:51:22and I'm walking, and I'm talking,
00:51:24but it's like nobody
00:51:26hears what I'm saying.
00:51:28I mean, I'm talking to you
00:51:30now, right?
00:51:32But I don't think you understand how I feel.
00:51:42...
00:51:44...
00:51:46...
00:51:48...
00:51:50...
00:51:52...
00:51:54...
00:51:56And this whole thing with the videotape,
00:51:58you know,
00:52:00this is not my first act of random sexuality,
00:52:02okay?
00:52:04Like,
00:52:06I was at this party in Van Nuys
00:52:08at this dude's house back in 86,
00:52:10and I totally banged this 15-year-old chick.
00:52:12And at the time,
00:52:14people were all like,
00:52:16oh, he's such a bad guy!
00:52:18But I'll tell you
00:52:20something, man. Here's the deal.
00:52:24I totally thought she was 16.
00:52:26I didn't.
00:52:28...
00:52:30...
00:52:32...
00:52:34...
00:52:36...
00:52:38...
00:52:40...
00:52:42...
00:52:44Okay, Danny.
00:52:46Keep it together, dude.
00:52:48Keep it together. Chase all those rain clouds away,
00:52:50brother.
00:52:52...
00:52:54...
00:52:56...
00:52:58Let's do this.
00:53:00...
00:53:02...
00:53:04Seriously?
00:53:06...
00:53:08...
00:53:10...
00:53:12...
00:53:14...
00:53:16...
00:53:18...
00:53:20So, Ted,
00:53:22I'm sure you're aware now that the Hooch and Daddy-O
00:53:24reunion movie won't be airing on television.
00:53:26Yeah.
00:53:28I mean, I've been on OscarMadrid.com
00:53:30all day long, and, uh,
00:53:32I was pretty disappointed about it
00:53:34at first, admittedly.
00:53:36I think everybody on the message board
00:53:38was super disappointed about it.
00:53:40And, um,
00:53:42but we're gonna try to take these lemons
00:53:44they've given us and make lemonade,
00:53:46if you will, because I took it upon myself
00:53:48to contact Franklin Davis,
00:53:50the distribution group for the film,
00:53:52and they are going
00:53:54to allow us to debut
00:53:56the film at the Hooch and Daddy-O
00:53:58MegaCon next month.
00:54:00It's gonna be awesome.
00:54:02Um,
00:54:04now, if we can just get
00:54:06the entire cast there, the fans
00:54:08will go absolutely ballistic.
00:54:10I think it's gonna
00:54:12be pretty cool. Um,
00:54:14I like the style.
00:54:16Anyway, we're turning the whole thing
00:54:18around. Theodore,
00:54:20snack time.
00:54:22Uh, cut it.
00:54:24You guys can go ahead. Ted, I have some snacks
00:54:26for you and your son. I'm finished talking. Go ahead and cut it now.
00:54:28Mom! Mom!
00:54:30Mom, enough!
00:54:32Fuck!
00:54:34What a lot of people don't
00:54:36realize is that the show
00:54:38had a tremendous amount of
00:54:40international appeal.
00:54:42In this day and age of
00:54:44FCC crackdowns and the
00:54:46controversy
00:54:48surrounding the reunion film,
00:54:50it's easy to forget that
00:54:52Hooch and Daddy-O
00:54:54wasn't afraid to speak
00:54:56the universal vernacular
00:54:58of violence,
00:55:00of love, of
00:55:02hair, of
00:55:04intrigue,
00:55:06all of which is illustrated by
00:55:08its huge success in countries
00:55:10like Germany.
00:55:28Frost!
00:55:40We have 60 seconds
00:55:42before this bomb
00:55:44blows up the entire
00:55:46Metropolitan area.
00:55:48Can you destroy it first?
00:55:50Possibly, but it can
00:55:52take a minute.
00:55:54We don't have that much time.
00:55:56We don't have that much time.
00:55:58Quick! I'm trying!
00:56:02Quick! I am!
00:56:06Quick!
00:56:08I am, you dick!
00:56:10Do it quick, you stupid fucking idiot!
00:56:16Cut!
00:56:20Not only
00:56:22did these guys speak
00:56:24the German language, but they
00:56:26were also a huge hit in
00:56:28Japan, where
00:56:30the censors were a little more
00:56:32flexible.
00:56:46Daddy-O-san,
00:56:48the mind of a bad guy who
00:56:50kidnaps people is very
00:56:52wide, isn't it?
00:56:54Yes, that's right. According to
00:56:56Squeegee-san-kun's report,
00:56:58the Triad Gang is still
00:57:00interacting with people
00:57:02who are behind the times.
00:57:04Let's save those people!
00:57:06Yes, I understand.
00:57:08Let's go!
00:57:22Ugh!
00:57:36Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
00:57:38Squeegee, hold your head up high
00:57:40Don't let the man try to keep you down
00:57:42I'm almost done.
00:57:44Here you go.
00:57:46Hi!
00:57:48Hi!
00:57:50Our son's a god.
00:57:52You have to know that about him.
00:57:54That's right.
00:57:56Runnin' around, we're
00:57:58catchin' me, you know there'll always
00:58:00be a smile around
00:58:02Yes, there was a love affair
00:58:04Squeegee, hold your head up high
00:58:06Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
00:58:08Runnin' around, we're
00:58:10catchin' me, you know
00:58:12there'll always be a smile around
00:58:14forever
00:58:16So, how much are we
00:58:18getting paid today?
00:58:20You're not getting paid for the appearance
00:58:22but you do get a percentage of all the
00:58:24autographs that you sign.
00:58:26Excuse me, I gotta take this off. Hey!
00:58:28How have you been? I've been trying to get a
00:58:30hold of you for days. So Oscar, how are you doing?
00:58:32Oh, I'm
00:58:34I'm fine.
00:58:36Fans have really been supportive.
00:58:38I just got a few more
00:58:40emails today. Oh, good.
00:58:42They're unbelievable.
00:58:46Hey, guys. Hey, Chris.
00:58:52Hey, Jim.
00:58:54I'm sorry. Can we
00:58:56talk out in the hall for a minute?
00:58:58Yeah.
00:59:00Yeah.
00:59:02Yeah.
00:59:14What's up?
00:59:16Um, look
00:59:20I know I've always given you a hard
00:59:22time.
00:59:24My skill
00:59:26and my technique as an
00:59:28actor
00:59:30those have always been things I've considered a gift.
00:59:32And yours
00:59:34have always been
00:59:38something.
00:59:40Thank you. So, with that being
00:59:42said, I don't know
00:59:44we've always had this
00:59:46Sonny and Cher thing.
00:59:48Yeah, we've always had that line.
00:59:50And you've just always given me
00:59:52enough black
00:59:54to let my star shine.
00:59:58I just
01:00:00thought you should know.
01:00:04So, um
01:00:08Come here.
01:00:10Come here.
01:00:12Let me hug you like a man.
01:00:14Oh.
01:00:16Yeah.
01:00:18I know.
01:00:24Okay.
01:00:26Alright, let's
01:00:28do this.
01:00:30Okay.
01:00:32I can't wait.
01:00:36Yeah, Ted here.
01:00:38I got the big five and we're going to make our way to the stage
01:00:40right now.
01:00:42Hey guys, thanks so much.
01:00:44I'm going to go ahead and escort you to the stage right now.
01:00:46Daddy, a freak's right there.
01:00:48Oh my god.
01:00:52I knew you'd remember.
01:00:54I have
01:00:56something to show you.
01:00:58This is our little girl
01:01:00Jasmine.
01:01:02When she was only three months old.
01:01:04She's all grown up now.
01:01:06Ain't she precious?
01:01:10I don't know what to say.
01:01:18Security!
01:01:20Security, get this crazy bitch out of here!
01:01:22Daddy, no!
01:01:24No, that was our baby!
01:01:26Daddy, no!
01:01:28Don't you remember me?
01:01:30Jasmine!
01:01:32She needs a date!
01:01:34Let go of me!
01:01:36No!
01:01:40Okay, let's take a step.
01:01:52So we're going to come down.
01:01:54So we're going to come down. They're here.
01:01:56They're here.
01:01:58We have the cast of
01:02:00Hooch and Daddy-O.
01:02:04Steven,
01:02:06Darcy,
01:02:08Elle,
01:02:10Joseph,
01:02:12Susan,
01:02:16Oscar, Lisa,
01:02:18Matthew,
01:02:20and
01:02:24Daddy-O!
01:02:32Hooch and Daddy-O!
01:02:42They are all here.
01:02:44They are all here.
01:02:46Now I'm sure all of you have some questions for them.
01:02:48So let's go ahead and open up the floor for questions.
01:02:50You in the back.
01:02:52I have a question for Oscar Madrid.
01:02:54Now that there's a new movie,
01:02:56is there a chance of Ace in the Hole being revived?
01:02:58That's an excellent question.
01:03:00I felt the concept
01:03:02was too intense for a television series,
01:03:04but I am happy to announce
01:03:06that with the help of Franklin Davis Productions,
01:03:08I will be releasing an Ace Del Vecchio
01:03:10super cop flip book.
01:03:18You there.
01:03:20Oh, excuse me.
01:03:22Do you feel that your portrayal of Squeegee
01:03:24propagates a negative stereotype?
01:03:26Oh, well,
01:03:28a brother's gotta eat.
01:03:36Chris, how did you enjoy
01:03:38playing Hooch after 15 years?
01:03:44Hooch is my id.
01:03:48He's my chi.
01:03:50He's my fortress of solitude.
01:03:52Hooch
01:03:54never really left me.
01:03:56I just had to wake him up and say,
01:03:58let's do this.
01:04:04Okay, well,
01:04:06now I guess I'm going to present to you
01:04:08the
01:04:10global premiere
01:04:12of the Hooch MW3!
01:04:18Woo!
01:04:22Come on, Ace.
01:04:24They gotta tell us what's going on.
01:04:26Is Darcy back in the skin trade again
01:04:28or did something serious happen to her?
01:04:30Guys, I know you're not here to work the case.
01:04:32Dammit, Ace. This is our job.
01:04:42Ha! Yeah!
01:04:44Now, who got your boat?
01:04:46Who you working for, huh?
01:04:48Ah!
01:05:14Ah!
01:05:16Hey, punk!
01:05:24There she is!
01:05:26God, I'm so glad to see you.
01:05:28We're not out of this yet.
01:05:30Are you strong enough to run?
01:05:32I think I can make it.
01:05:36Let's do this.
01:05:46Ha!
01:05:48Ha!
01:05:50Ha!
01:05:52Ha!
01:05:54Ha!
01:06:16I know this one.
01:06:22Boy, I'm sure I'm glad
01:06:24you guys decided to stay.
01:06:26The city needs you.
01:06:28Yeah, I know, and we need the city.
01:06:30As long as men have evil in their hearts
01:06:32and guns in their hands,
01:06:34we've got ourselves a city to protect.
01:06:38Gee, I wish the captain were here
01:06:40to see us all together again.
01:06:42Oh, but I do see you all together.
01:06:44all together. And whenever you boys wear those badges on the street, I'll be right beside you.
01:07:14You guys, you guys have just been incredible. I just want to thank you so much for all of
01:07:39your help today. And I just wish, you know, that there would have been more people here.

01:07:48Thank you, Miss Ells. Okay, well, um, we're gonna go now to the, I'll get some autographs. You're

01:08:49what are you doing tonight? You interested in hopping on the Daddy-O rodeo?
01:08:54Oh, no.
01:08:59Hey, real quick. Remember, I'm in room 3-1-0.
01:09:06First of all, shy. How about you, bellybutton? Gross.
01:09:14Prostitutes.
01:09:16Justin, thanks for coming out today. Thank you. Hi. What's your name? Vicky. This is for you,
01:09:23baby. Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Anich. What's your favorite episode? The Jack the Ripper. The Jack
01:09:29the Ripper episode. Oh, good. Okay. Yes, go ahead. That was mine, too. But I was hoping to thank you
01:09:36first for all the help you've been today. Oh, yeah. It's been great. Hey, my pleasure. There's
01:09:42one thing. George. The fact that there's a seat next to you, we're hoping to put another actor in
01:09:47it. Would that be okay with you? No problem, no problem. Anything for the fans, that's my motto.
01:09:52Chris Anis, it's a pleasure to finally meet you. It's like matter and anti-matter.
01:09:59You realize this is the amateur that replaced me. Yeah, yeah. But anything for the fans,
01:10:05though, right? Take it easy, turtle neck. Mr. Art House, there's plenty of gravy to keep us
01:10:11both fat and happy, if you know what I'm saying. Hey, and who'd like an autograph from Hooch 2.0?
01:10:17We got one last question for you. If you had to describe your experience on Hooch and Daddy-O
01:10:22in one word, what would it be? Transcendence. Booty. Peculiar. Booty. Ace. One word?
01:10:36Sex, drugs, and rock and roll, baby. Some people think what we're doing here is frivolous.
01:10:42That I should make movies about, I don't know, Nadia Comaneci running from the tanks.
01:10:47But what about you? You could make a documentary about endangered squirrels. Noble. Great.
01:10:57Noble. Great. But do you have anything to say about it?
01:11:05Hooch and Daddy-O didn't cure what ails society,
01:11:09but it sure made Friday nights at eight o'clock one hell of a good time.
01:11:27Back in 82, I was just another zero.
01:11:32Playing pong, watching Venerama videos.
01:11:38Teacher said I had a lack of ambition. All I cared to do was watch the television.
01:11:48Then like a dreamer on Channel 13, I could see what I wanted to be.
01:11:53You may imagine a gun and off I go. I want to be like Hooch and Daddy-O.
01:12:01Siren cranking out like a stereo. I want to be like Hooch and Daddy-O.
01:12:06Just one day, I'd like to amount to something. Maybe I could marry Darcy Roars.
01:12:15Be friends with Mr. Lucky-O.
01:12:29Now the sun is shining, no matter what the weather says.
01:12:34Cause I'm looking cool as Emilio Estevez.
01:12:37If I could live my life like H.E. made it. I could put some grooves on it again, baby.
01:12:50Living the dreams like T-1-17 every time I turn on the TV.
01:12:57You may imagine a gun and off I go. I want to be like Hooch and Daddy-O.
01:13:03Siren cranking out like a stereo. I want to be like Hooch and Daddy-O.
01:13:08Just one day, I'd like to amount to something. Maybe I could marry Darcy Roars.
01:13:17Be friends with Mr. Lucky-O.
01:13:20Living out like a dream, channel T-1-17. I can see what I still want to be.
01:13:35Satellite beams, all the sirens and screams every time I turn on the TV.
01:13:42You may imagine a gun and off I go. I want to be like Hooch and Daddy-O.
01:13:50Siren cranking out like a stereo. I want to be like Hooch and Daddy-O.
01:13:55Just one day, I'd like to amount to something. Maybe I could marry Darcy Roars.
01:14:04Be friends with Mr. Lucky-O.
01:14:12Siren
