Two weeks ago, Clod and Hilary went to Broadway and landed on The Today Show. Seeing Cole Escola’s Oh, Mary! was the best thing ever (indescribably brilliant and hysterically funny). Seeing and hearing ourselves on the Today Show Jumbotron? Not so much, but at least we walked away with Al’s head on a stick.

Last week Clod fell, dislocated her finger, and nearly rolled into the river. If that’s too serious for you, hang in for the last third of this episode when Clod accidentally swears as she reads entries set in Portland, Maine’s Burger King circa 1970s.

According to her astrologer, Hilary found fame in past lives and she thinks she’s finding it in this life. too. Clod is dubious until Hilary recounts tale after tale of celebrity connections – and missed opportunities – some involving VERY famous people. Clod chimes in with her share of B list celebrity meet-ups, starting with Fabian (who Hilary mistook for Fabio).

Although Sherlock Holmes does appear in this episode, really the only mystery is how Clod and Hilary have found themselves in the midst of so many antics.

Here are some "clueless clues" from the episode: a fan encounter, a miniature PeeWee Herman, a day of animal run-ins, you the get drift. Enjoy!

Lorna, even more than Clod, fell in love with his talent and charm and, yes, his dimples. In what still seems unbelievable to these sisters, they’ve been lucky enough to see their idol perform several times in recent years, including just last week, which means, of course, they have funny tales to tell!
