The reason I thought so was because I believed that there was a moment in the chapel before the actual wedding ceremony where David (maybe) and some other African-American performers stood up and did a sort of live song-dance routine with a big number 5 lighted up on a circular screen behind them.
Could you be thinking of the "Gimmie 5" song? I believe that was Bob, David, Gordon, and Luis singing it. "Gimmie 1, 2, 3, 4...but if you love me more, gimmie 5!" That was a great bit. I wish someone had that on tape.

I do! That's one of my faves too. I think it's a take-off on "Float On" by the Floaters.

I especially like Luis's line, "Ah, que suave - numero cinco!" :cool:

Thank you Frodis and Boober_Gorg. That's probably the sketch I was thinking of. But a few questions. Bob, David, Gordon and Luis? Aren't there supposed to be five singers? And if there are only four, why does Luis get the line for the number 5?

Also, CamillaChick or Boober_Gorg, whichever of the two of you could, please tell me the names of the actors who portrayed María's Mama and Luis's Uncle in the wedding episode. Thanks and have a haunted weekend.

Luis's uncle was played by Miguel Ferrer.

Thank you gbrobeck! One less human character missing the name of its actor! Just out of curiousity, where did you get this info from? From the Wedding Episode's credits themselves?
If you could, please provide the name of the actress who portrayed María's Mama either by posting it here in this thread or via E-mail to my mailer.

There are many more human characters who are still missing their respective actors/actresses' names, but I'll leave it at this two so as not to tax your resources.
Thanks for the help and have a haunted weekend.

I only knew it was Miguel Ferrer because he was a famous movie star and I recognized him.

Ooops, made a boo-boo. It was Jose Ferrer, not Miguel. Miguel is Jose's son.
