Bob, played by David Bowe. Somehow after losing another job, George’s aunt tells his Uncle Harvey to have George run the TV channel Harvey won in a poker game. Since it is nothing important the uncle does and that starts an absolute insane chain of events. George and Bob now run a TV channel, and need to figure out a way to make money since it is losing a ton, and pretty much only has enough to run through the week.

But back to David Bowe. He was the second choice to originally play George’s best friend. The first was Jerry Seinfeld, who Al knew from the comedy standup scene. I guess with Seinfeld about the be on TV, him passing on this role worked out in his favor. But like Jerry and
