SPINAL TAP PREQUEL ON LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY

Christopher Guest with Penny Marshall

We all know MICHAEL MCKEAN from SPINAL TAP started as Lenny on LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY. But on the third season the other Tappers turned up: HARRY SHEARER as a newscaster and CHRISTOPHER GUEST as a med student supporting Nixon: unlike Laverne...

Later, Laverne and Shirley meet the boys at a bus stop and find out they're womanizers (like JFK!). And at the end of the episode, the main cast sings a tune with McKean on acoustic guitar. And not "Big Bottom."
