...star - if that's the word we want - is a large, cheerful woman named Becky Fisher, who runs the "Kids on Fire" evangelical religious camp every summer at Devil's Lake, North Dakota, without, as the cameras are concerned, acknowledging the irony implicit in the location's name. Fisher is, so far as we can tell, monomaniacal. She can't walk through a toy store, for example, without noticing some object that she can use to vivify her message.

Dressed in black, holding a cigar and a glass of scotch, flashing a wicked smile that makes him look like Gary Busey's smarter brother, White is the bad boy of Blue Collar TV. In this short (41 min.) set, he makes the usual public issues of private parts, honeymoon tiffs and a persistent fan who cornered White and wouldn't shut up ("He raped my ear"). The material is just O.K., but the salesmanship is expert. He's a natural-born charmer with just...
