The producer of a low budget film is
trying to convince the newly hired director of the quality of the work
by
telling him the big names they’ve gotten for the cast.
“First of all,” he tells him, “We’ve got Gibson in the lead.”
The director is surprised, “You got Mel Gibson?”
“Well, no,”
the Producer responds, “we got Marvin Gibson, he’s a
distant cousin
who lives in Queens, but he’s very up and coming. And
besides,
we’ve also got Redford.”
“You got Robert Redford?” the director
asks.
“No, we got Jeremy Redford, but he’s very talented and
has lots of
acting experience from years of dinner theater. But,” he
says
enthusiastically, ” we’ve got Streisand and in a singing
role.”
“Barbara Streisand?” he asks.
“No, Elizabeth
Streisand.” The Producer responds. “But she’s got a
great voice. AND
we’ve got Goulet.”
“You got Robert Goulet?” the director asks.
“Yeah,” the producer replies glumly, “we got Robert
Goulet.”
