Comedy: Bobby Lee During eight years on the sketch comedy show MadTV, comedian Bobby Lee made the most of his status as the show's first (and only) Asian castmember by playing both Connie Chung and Kim Jong-Il, as well as starring role in a recurring sketch called Taedo-Attitudes and Feelings, Both Desirable and Sometimes Secretive. The sketch parodied Korean soap operas, and its title alluded to a running gag in which the length of English subtitles (Attitudes and Feelings, Both Desirable and Sometimes Secretive) are disproportionate to the length of the Korean speaker's statement (Taedo). It'll come as no surprise then that much of Lee's act revolves around his Asian heritage, albeit with fewer costume changes. Oct. 7-9 at the DC Improv, 1140 Connecticut Ave. NW.
