Back in the late 90s, I think in the winter of 1997-8, I saw a stand-up comedian on Conan O'Brien that blew me away but I've never been able to track him down since. I think his name was David Jerusalem. He made jokes about the Olympics and having been a heroin addict. He didn't perform in front of a mic but was interviewed by Conan. I've been trying to find information about this guy for years without success, does my description ring any bells for you? [more inside]

Is there a name for this style of joking? Set-up: Person A asks a question. Punchline: Person B -- by pretending to misunderstand the question -- gives an unexpected response. The Marx Bros used this style a lot, and I see it over and over on "Flight of the Conchords. " ALSO: Can anyone offer further examples of this? Thank you so much! :-)

SketchFilter: I need help remembering where I saw a particular comedy sketch. The one portion that I remember was Fred Schneider (of the B-52s) or someone who was supposed to be him following a person around and while the person is going to the bathroom in a public stall, Fred pops his head up over the door and sings "Everybody's taking a poopoo!" I think this was during the early 90s. I thought it might have been the Ben Stiller show, but I just saw the DVD of that show and it was not, in fact, on that show. Help!
