Wong & Owens, Ex-Porn Stars
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Wong & Owens, Ex-Porn Stars" was a Saturday Night Live skit in 1997 featuring two ex-porn stars, played by Tracy Morgan and Jim Breuer. The full title is actually "Wong & Owens: Ex Porn Stars". After a lengthy career in the porn industry, Don Wong (Breuer) and Reggie Owens (Morgan) both decide to take straight jobs, and this is when the hilarity ensues. Week after week, Wong (who was not Chinese) and Owens would seek out employment, only to discover that the adult film industry had perverted their minds to the point that they both found themselves unable to respond to simple statements without them taking on a sexual meaning. When called on the carpet for this behavior, their only excuse is "It's the only thing we know!"
This basic scenario was the same in the two episodes. The Wong & Owens skits ended with the two men finding jobs at an office where the boss was a born-again Christian (played by Alec Baldwin). After the basic Wong & Owens scenario takes place, they are called into his office, ostensibly to be fired. Instead, it is revealed that their boss is in fact a former porn star himself, formerly known by the name of Count Monsterrod von Hugenstein, and he agrees to help Wong & Owens overcome their erotic fixations. With the entrance of a sexy foreign cleaning lady, the scene devolves into a massive orgy. Wong & Owens never appear on SNL again.
