Paul Baldwin Period
Introduced on the January 19, 1991, episode, this sketch was originally called "Coffee Talk with Paul Baldwin", with Baldwin also played by Myers. The main joke was the use of as many words that accentuated the stereotypical New York accent as possible. The name itself is an example. Starting with the October 12, 1991, episode, Paul Baldwin was written out and replaced with the character of Richman as the substitute host. In subsequent episodes, Richman explains that Baldwin is a good friend of hers and is recuperating in Boca Raton, Florida, because he developed shpilkis in his genechtagazoink.
