...good portion of the cast. Meyers ends up more or less holding a cardboard cutout of Charlie in front of his face as he does his cheap humor bit, a little like he does every week on TV. In fact, the character from Meyer's occasionally-shown Scottish store skit almost makes an appearance of his own when Meyers plays Charlie's Scottish father...
