Billy Crystal has been in something of a comedy purgatory for some time now, cursed to host the occasional awards ceremony and appear in projects only when summoned by Josh Gad. But when given the opportunity to reunite with his City Slickers co-star Daniel Stern and hop into a surprisingly cogent Westworld parody featuring three actual cast members—Luke Hemsworth (Stubbs), Ptolemy Slocum (Sylvester) and Angela Sarafyan (Clementine)—he wisely jumped at the opportunity, Gad or no Gad (in this case, no Gad).
Watch below as Crystal and Stern bring back Mitch and Phil from the 1991 movie, only this time as hosts at the park—hosts who proceed to shoot each other, drink milk, bicker like an old married couple, and make smart alec-y remarks a lot like...any Billy Crystal character ever.
