“Carlson For President” · Season 2, Episode 6

In this episode: Herb Tarlek (2), Les Nessman (1), Venus Flytrap (1), Jennifer Marlowe (1), Mr. Carlson (1)

The secret is to appear to answer all the questions, when in truth it's all mumbo-jumbo. Here, let me show you. Herb, ask me this question.

[Les hands Herb a card with a question written on it]

Surely. "Mr. Candidate, what is your energy program?"

Right now, I'm devoting a great deal of time and study to that problem. And I intend to issue a position paper on that. A position that is at once simple, yet complex, flexible, and above all else, fair to every American.

Listen, Venus, how do things look in the black community?

Oh, same old thing. Big lush lawns, manicured hedges. Living's easy. Fish are jumpin', cotton oh 'bout so high... Daddy's rich. I suppose you don't wanna hear about my momma, huh?

Mr. Carlson isn't even mentioned (in the polls).

Perfect! If people don't know you, they won't dislke you. If you show yourself too much then you come off looking like a jerk. At least that's been my experience."
