"I'm back again, it's funny in this episode that Ms Wiley states that Mr. Schwamp tries to pinch Ernest T at the party when he is eating the watermelon....but no one knows who this character actor is...he was used more than once as a character...He appears in numerous episodes." - Randy from Tennessee
