The best part of those segments for me was hearing Shamu get steadily more and more anxious and upset as Gilbert interrupted her and killed. She would stammer and flubber the stories even worse as she read them for the first time, getting facts wrong and trying to forge ahead doggedly.
My brain had a difficult time with this thread title. I kept reading "jap" as "jew" and thinking " Wait Gilbert is calling Takei the jew, wha...Takei is not a Jew...wait Jap? Oh right. George is..." I finally got it though!
