In the funniest episode to date of NewsCorp's flagship Broadband Television show, "The Heyman Hustle" took a wild look at Broadway this week, and the results were pretty darned funny. Host Paul Heyman, he of the "Extreme Wrestling" background, interviews the inimitable James "Inside The Actor's Studio" Lipton and "Legally Blonde" star Laura Bell Bundy, whose performance in the play earned her a Tony Nomination for Best Lead Actress in a Musical, and a Drama Desk Nomination for Outstanding Actress in a Musical.

Along the way, we see celebrities gathering for "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof"'s opening night, complete with lead actor Terrence "Hustle and Flow" Howard, Baseball Hall of Famer Henry "Hank" Aaron, Academy Award winning actor Morgan Freeman, movie and theatre favorite Giancarlo Esposito, NY Governor James Paterson, and Jeremy Piven from HBO's Entourage.


But in the story that accompanies the video, Heyman's passion is not for the highly-acclaimed performances on the stage. Rather, it's for the people on the street who provide some of the great moments for this week's Hustle. "There's a lot of star power on this week's show," Heyman states, "Yet, once again, the culture of personality on the street is just as powerful as the magnificent performers on the stage!"

Don't tune out until the episode is completely finished. Much like Jesse Ventura's amazing cameo in the 1st episode, the true highlight of this episode happens in the last few seconds, as Heyman informs Lipton of his resume. It's a hysterical moment, as Lipton is clearly caught off guard, and Heyman pokes fun at himself and the obvious preconceived notions he knows his background brings.
