I was subjected to his "act" at the Magic Castle a few years ago.

All I can say is I am glad the Pixies re-formed.

Granted that's ONE dude, but he was really a piece of shit.

It takes an incredible amount of attention to detail and skill to satirise an entire industry so exactly and so profoundly as the character of Gob Bluth does.
