Mie and Kei didn’t understand a word they were saying in this sketch (and others like it), because they barely spoke English. They learned their lines phonetically. NBC really promoted the hell out of their show, and got “big name” guest stars like Hugh Hefner and Greg Evigan {of the network’s “BJ AND THE BEAR”, which they were also promoting} and rock groups like “Blondie” to appear. Looks like a parody of a bad variety show, doesn’t it? They weren’t kidding….six episodes is all it lasted.
