Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Gob and Buster team up for some magic tricks with the help of Buster’s fake hand, but when Tony Wonder, a rival magician, starts to mentor them, somebody gets the finger. Meanwhile, Michael is forced to delegate some work when he’s hospitalized and Lindsay teaches George Michael how to drive using the staircar.
Our Take
A rare episode where the B-stories nearly outshine the main plot. Ben Stiller’s Tony Wonder is a great foil for Gob, and the magic act with Buster’s hook hand pays off in some of the season’s best sight gags. Michael’s hospital delegation stuff is thinner, but the driving lessons land enough jokes to keep it moving. Very funny, tight hour overall.
