Mr. Schiff Tries for Washington

I am a comedian and I have been lucky enough to have worked in my business for 20 years. This is a huge thing because most people in comedy never even work 20 days in 20 years. I have also been blessed to be part of a great group of comedians who have emerged in that time. Three of them are not just my peers, but also good friends.

And, in a small way, "The Cadillac" changed my life.

Here's the plot of the show that ran February 8,1996 as a 60-minute "Seinfeld" special.
