http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlLA/show_business/mormons_used_reno_911_drag_queen_in_their_ad_140568.aspWe caught a commercial on TV for/from the Mormons about their website. In the spot are average everyday people just chatting about their faith. When who would pop up on the screen but comedian, banjo player, magician and cult favorite, Phil Vantee.
Church was the original show business. So of course the Latter Day Saints could possibly end up in a fabulous crossover with the Comedy Central improv show Reno 911.
Did they know they were using the man who played a Jewish, 7-foot tall, hooker, "man with teats," who's capture won the scavenger hunt for the officer and secured him two tickets to watch the execution?
