Taxi

Classic Clip featuring Latka & Danny DeVito 

Very Funny

Taxi was a fantastic television series that ran for many years.  Danny DeVito was one of the stars of the show.

Reverend Jim Ignatowski (Christopher Lloyd) (guest star 1978, main cast 1979–1983) – A washed-up figure of the 1960s, Jim lives in a world of his own. He was once a diligent, mature student at Harvard University, with an extremely wealthy father (Victor Buono), but one bite of a drug-laden brownie was enough to get him hooked and send him into a downward spiral.

 

His real last name had been Caldwell; he changed it to Ignatowski, thinking that the backward pronunciation of that name was “Star Child”.

In a particularly memorable episode, the cabbies help him pass a written exam to become one of them. He occasionally exhibits unexpected talents, such as the ability to play the piano masterfully (much to his own surprise). TV Guide placed Ignatowski 32nd on its list of the 50 greatest TV characters.

 

 

 

In this particular video Reverend Jim samples some of Latka’s cookies laced with Cocaine. Priceless. I especially love Louie DePalma reacting. I find myself laughing out loud. Too funny.

Hope you enjoy!
