Spelling Bee when the girl got COW wrong- now read her response! — Page 2

When I was there, the comments were as follows:

1) For a woman who had on an huge pearl necklace it was said "while scuba diving she discovered the largest oyster bed in existance"

2) For a teen boy with a huge afro they said, "a competitor in last year's bee, so-and-so was disqualified for hiding a dictionary in his hair"

3) For a man who was a doctor it was said, "when he grows up so-and-so hopes to become a LAWYER"

I got the lawyer joke at my show too...

A woman dressed far too scantily in her 30s - "She calls herself the spelling gypsy."

a boy in all white - "known as the spelling guru."

I don't remember the others... lol

Those are hilarious! Keep em coming, it will ages before I get to see the show.

Here's one that illustrates the playful "push the envelope" improvisational wit of Jay Reiss aka Vice Principal Panch who makes these intros up based on something striking about guest spellers.
One man was a trucker and obviously a body builder. Jay Reiss had Miss Perretti say
So and So has a secret spelling weapon. He intimidates the others spellers by scaring the sh**t out of them".
The cast was fighting not to get hysterical----but the audience was so shocked that Miss Perreti would use such language at a spelling bee--that there was a moment of awkward silence... I heard it was priceless...

Bal, I was there on Rabbi Rosen's night.

Yesterday there was a 40ish woman in bright pink, and they said "To help her frequent tummy aches, Mrs. X likes to dress like a bottle of Pepto Bismol."

liotte: That is SO cool. When the guy got "Catterjoons" right, I almost died.

I saw it there was this guy who looked like Galleger so when he went up they said " Docter so and so is afraid to go near watermelons becuase he dosn't want to be mistaken for Galleger." Thats the only one I could think of now.

Omg billy goat girl! I was at that show. where did you sit?

wait, where was this girls' response?? how are people emailing her?

RKrispyT--Jay Reiss actually receives a writing credit for providing additional material. He is responsible for the choice of words to spell and the outrageous unforgettable sentences. He is a writer and comes up with the intros but may certainly receive ideas and input from Lisa and other cast members
I believe he also confers with Sarah to update her ingenious up to the minute social and political commentary that her character Schwartzengrubenniere delivers when the spelling bee halts after Panch has another"incident"--
The program also acknowledges Sarah Saltzburg and Dan Fogler 's writing contribution for creating their characters and much of their dialogue from Crepuscule which Spelling Bee is based on..
Since there is still an improvisational component and this ensemble is so talented, supportive and close knit they all contribute ideas to keep the show fresh and heighten the hilarity surrounding guest spellers. That's why you can keep going back and see a different show each time.

When I saw it, the woman had salt and pepper hair and was wearing grey and black and they said "She likes her outfits to match her hair." And the woman had to stop and catch her breath from laughing before spelling.

Another man was wearing a suit with a bowtie and they joked that he had taken his school picture that day. And Jose complained that "The doofus in the bowtie got an easy word!"

Oh, and Sarah's commentary from last weekend was about Harriet Miers. It didn't even occur to me that they would constantly update it, but it was hilarious.

What is the complete list of words they use?
