How is he? I love him on Mad TV and just the pictures of his Edna look hysterical. He looks great in that dress.
I know he's been around for a while in the show, but I'm too lazy to look through all the hairspray threads. I saw Hairspray in 2003 when it first opened and haven't been back since. I can't even imagine another Edna besides Harvey.
Wilbur: You're like a stinky old cheese, babe. Edna: What? Wilbur: Just getting riper with age. Edna (Paul): ...Okay!

The other day was my favorite when after his last boob-bells thing (yeah, that's what I'm calling it) he said "That last one sounded like a European telephone. Allo? It's me! I love you!"

He is great. I saw him when he played the part at NSMT last year, and his "Timeless" had me on the floor -- Dick DeCareau (Wilbur) and Vogt were slinging jokes at one another and stopped the dhow for a good three minutes of constant laughter. I think that was by far my favorite version (with Bruce Vilanch a close second). His delivery and timing were great as well. All in all a great Edna.
"I also like when he tells Tracy "You get back up here" in a really deep guttural voice!"
me too!

"Say 'Goody.' Say 'Bubbi.'" ... "That's it. Exactly as if it were 'Goody.' Now I know you're gonna sing 'Goody' this time, but nevertheless..."
He is beyond fantastic! He lets the show be about Tracy, and really has a fantastic believable maternal take on the role. He is also a great guy in real life.

Just saw him tonight, he was AWESOME. He did this thing where he was smacking the Beav with his boobs and comparing it to a tennis match... had the crowd in hysterics. Plus he's super nice at the stagedoor!
