Sandy spends a few minutes with some very talented folks! Later, Comedian Bob Nelson, horns in on Dave and Jim's act (just kidding!). Bob is truly a crackup guy. He's kinda of a mix between Rodney Dangerfield and Robin Williams and he's more fun than a  NY pizza and beer at a Jets game (OK, back in the day!). Nutty characters, super keen NYC wit and comic faces are his specialties. Bob has performed on Broadway and from Carnegie Hall and Radio City to Las Vegas. Don't miss his show at the Clay Cooper Theatre in Branson
