Hypnotist P.J. Cloth from the February 13, 2001 Show

At the end of the show, Tom gets hypnotized over the phone by P.J. Cloth (?), who was supposed to be in the studio, but his car broke down. He puts Tom to sleep, and then can't get him to wake up. Tom snores quietly for the final seven minutes of the show.

I have this in an MP3 but haven't listened to the full show archive yet.

Who plays P.J. Cloth? His voice is close to Jon Glaser's voice, but not enough to say "that's him." It may be the only unidentified (as far as I know) full-appearance character on the show. Assuming it is a character - I can't find an hypnotists named PJ. He's at the least playing along.

It's Jon Glaser. (I always remembered it as Jon Wurster-- oops.) You can find a lot of info like that on these logs, which are AMAZING!: http://scratchbomb.com/best_show_logs/best_show_logs_2001/

Thanks, Emma.

I didn't think to check Scratchbomb's excellent write-ups of the early shows. I've been listening back through the archives for a couple of years now. It's going faster since there isn't "forward listening" to be done at the moment.

I thought it might be Jon Glaser - he does a good "like Jon Glaser's voice but not quite" on that one. I also happened to hear his Mehmet Okur call about the West Memphis 3 benefit on my iPod the other night - good stuff.

Also, I saw Scratchbomb had updated his log today, so maybe he's reading: I'm 98% sure that Gerald Perlmutter is Sam Seder.
