The film culminates in the dog show itself. Willard stars as color commentator Buck Laughlin, whose complete lack of knowledge of dog shows stumps his co-host, Trevor Beckwith (Jim Piddock). The scene Curtis shared in her tweet came from this segment, with Buck pestering Trevor with some very strange observations. At one point, Buck suggested the Bloodhound be dressed up to look like Sherlock Holmes. "Are they ever allowed to do anything like that? Dress up the dog in a funny way?" Buck asked. "No, that's not quite the purpose of these shows," Trevor replied.

"I think it would really get the crowd going! You know what I mean, the Sherlock Holmes hat with a pipe? I don't know if you could make it look like smoke is coming out of the pipe," Buck continued. "I think that would be a little dangerous," Trevor reminded him. "I'd get a kick out of it," Buck added.

Apparently, he was told to learn nothing about dogs, and was turned loose.

Willard starred in more than 300 movies and television shows, often showing off his skills at comic timing and improvisation. His last role was in Space Force, a new Netflix series starring Steve Carell as the fictional leader of the U.S.' new military branch. The series hits Netflix on May 29.

prevThe clip is great. I remember Joe Garagiola doing the Westminster and it made Fred's performance even funnier.
