Yes, I’m really the voice and operator of Geoff Peterson (and Sandra the Rhino 2.0, all of the phone calls, celebrity flies, the entire Shy Fellas band and more!). And this is REALLY my YT Channel! Pretty much every Geoff and Craig interaction was unscripted, and this moment is no exception. For several nights in a row Craig was busting Geoff's balls (pun intended) about not having lips to blow a harmonica. So during this segment, while puppeteering/voicing Geoff, I'm also flagging down our props guy, Eddie, to run and get a harmonica. When Craig hears the harmonica sound coming from Geoff's mouth, his look of surprise is genuine. Here are some of the other characters I played on the show: kzread.info/dash/bejne/YoSmwcOGcdTSfMo.html

Many people think Geoff’s mouth movements were voice activated, but in reality I had to flip a switch every time to make the mouth move. Every. Single. Word. There were also separate controls for his right and left arms, head swivel and blinking eye lights. Someone asked recently if the harmonica was pre-recorded. No, that was a real harmonica. All the instruments I used were real. So I learned to move quickly between the remote control and whatever instrument was being used in the moment. All while making stuff up! “Were the phone calls pre-recorded?” Again, cannot emphasize this enough: it was all made up on the spot, in the moment. I never knew what voice I would do until the moment Craig said, “I wonder who might call now…” 📞 While all of this is going on, I’m also using a second remote control to operate and voice Sandra the Rhino on occasion. Plus, I’m voicing all of the phone calls, celebrity flies, every member of the Shy Fellas band, and Secretariat’s inner voice.

This is something that's just perfect, from beat to beat.

@@thejrtshow Did you improvise the harmonica when Craig asked you about the "place in New Hampshire"?

These guys were in such a groove at the end. It was pure organic comedy, pulled out of thin air on any topic or pretense. None of the current late night stiffs, with their armies of gag writers, lame props, and cheap laughs can touch it .

Holy cow I REMEMBER THIS EPISODE!!! I used to watch this show with my mum growing up, it was our thing. Thank you so, so much for the lovely memories Geoff aka Josh.

This has become one of the videos I'll watch when I need to cheer up. Laughing almost nonstop from start to finish 🤣 Josh, you're the man (and Craig, probably)! Thanks for your comedy!

I watch this video at least once a year.

We still miss you guys, we wouId watch every night, it was Brilliant. Thanks to you all.

I watch this clip every time a day goes to hell or when my BPD kicks into overdrive. So I've seen it more than a few times. That said: honest joy, when found, is one of humanity's greatest gifts. This clip is a grand representation of that fact. JRT, wherever you are, mate, I hope you're well. Craig, also. It must be nice to know your career already entails a legacy that both heals and helps in its own fabulously ironic way.
