- The nominees are basically Michael T. Williamson (as transcribed), Sally Field and Haley Joel Osment unless someone else comes up, since it has to be a heat check; the man who sleeps with Sally Field to get Forrest into public school is also floated.
- Dick Cavett, the real Dick Cavett aging himself back twenty years in a wig, is called fantastic and told he wins the award if he is aging himself backwards.
