Show Notes

Shake your booty! Sam leaps into Rod McCarty, aka “Rod the Bod”, a Chippendales dancer in New York City. As Rod, Sam must help Diana, a young waitress who originally fell into a life of prostitution before ultimately dying from complications from AIDS. Sam must prevent that, and he think he knows how: He wants to help Diana get admitted to a budding dance company, headed by the influential Joanna Chapman (played by Debbie Allen, who also directed).

Sam Fain and Dennis discuss the episode.
