 Another movie parody saw Marian meet the bedraggled "Richard Dryface," played by guest Steve Martin in a spoof of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", complete with a grey, bulbous-headed alien played by Conway.The sketch also touched on stereotypical aspects of production values in American soaps.Many times, Marian forgot what she wanted to say, reminiscent of the times when soap operas were broadcast live and actors routinely forgot their next line.
