When the USA Network started broadcasting the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in the 1990s, one of the hosts was Joe Garagiola, a former baseball player who became a ubiquitous TV host, appearing on the Today show and hosting several game shows. Joe knew nothing about dogs and asked ridiculous questions. Fred Willard's character was a parody of Joe.

It's not a Christopher Guest movie but there is a movie called Drop Dead Gorgeous that is another hilarious mockumentary style movie that revolves around beauty pageants. It has Kristen Dunst, Kristie Alley, Denise Richards and Brittany Murphy in it. If I remember correctly Will Sasso is in it as well and has a much bigger role. I think that if you guys liked this movie you would really enjoy Drop Dead Gorgeous. I had me rolling just as much as this one did.

Fun reaction! I first saw this movie in the theater and my sides hurt after. I missed a lot of the jokes because I was laughing so hard. Since then I’ve watched it several times and it never gets old. I believe Fred Willard modeled his character after Joe Garagiola (pro baseball player and broadcaster). Later in his career, Joe Garagiola actually did color commentary for the Westminster Dog Show. He was known for saying goofy things out of the blue 🤣🐕🐩

I'm with you, I love animals but the best in show contests rub me the wrong way as well. That being said, this movie is effing hilarious. A perfect ensemble, so much of it is improvisation. All of these actors work so well together and Christopher Guest is a genius with this type of format.

I worked in hotels @ front desk for a number of years, and we are very nice and accommodating if you're nice and don't throw tantrums (LIKE THE NUEROTIC COUPLE). I remember a sold out/overbooked night we did in fact offer a cot to a weary traveler who had checked in after midnight and also hadn't called to confirm his reservation. The entire city was booked up for a sporting event (Seahawks?) we didn't want to leave him out in the literal cold.

In the making of video on the DVD, Christopher Guest said they basically just turned the camera on and told Fred Willard to go. It’s basically all improv. He also gave Jim Piddock a bunch of books about dogs to study and told him to learn everything he could. For Willard, Guest told him to learn nothing at all. Willard definitely steals the movie. I fell off my couch the first time I saw this because I was laughing so hard.

Instant subscriber! That was a fantastic reaction to this hilarious movie! They're all working on a Spinal Tap sequel right now! Just found your channel, can't believe I didn't know about it, you guys are great reactors, great senses of humor, intelligent, and you're just filling in movies you haven't seen, you guys obviously have already seen lots of stuff. So that makes it a joy. I see you mostly do TV series (and I'm going to now binge watch your Succession reactions!), but I really hope you keep sprinkling in movies from time time. Especially classics, be they from the 70s.....or the 20s! (1920s!) lol. See you on the Succession vids! (i won't comment since they're old reactions!)

At the point where people are showing dogs seriously, all the dogs and handlers are very well groomed. There’s the occasional accident on the floor, but everyone is expected to clean up immediately. So there’s not really a weird smell or anything.

It stars, Chris O’Dowd, and you also get Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, Fred Willard, and more! I was heartbroken when I realized there would not be a season two but I think it’s a great watch on its own.
