Today the cast and crew are filming Waynestock, ,t
sort of Woodstock revival a la Wayne, Aliout 2,000
hippy extras are on location at the Calamigos Ranch in
Malibu, Calif., and they're getting lust as antsy as the
audience they 're portraying. I he extras have been
standing in the oppressive heat for hours without
the stimulants that benefited the original Woodstock
crowd and even though they've got several hours of
shooting to go, fatigue is setting in.
A crew member veils at a group of loiterers who
have escaiHtl to the shade “ I hey want |>cople to lust
\:ork tor a little while.” I his seems to go against the
nature ot the extras. “You haven’t been here that
long,” he scolds Sunscreen is distributed to keep them
in line.
It's a virtual lovefest, this
Waynestock business.
Backstage, ( arxcv the veteran ot seven years and
125 episodes ot Saturday Si^kt l.ne is doing his
part to keep other troubled youth in line. Myers is on
the other side of the set, filming scenes with Carrcre
and Vcrosmith, and (.arvex seems to have been
appointed master ot ott stage ceremonies by popular
decree.
Chris Farley, who returns as a roadie instead ot the
security guard he played in the first flick, is trying to
get Carvey’s attention. "I ady'” Farley calls out. refer
ring to Carvey's Churchladx character, "l ady'” he
whines, much like a child cry ing tor his mother at the
supermarket. But ( arvex will have none ot it he

Finally, it's time lor the big show Acrosmith per
forms "Shut I p ami Dunce” several times tor the
grand finale while Farlex and the other roadies do the
White Man’s Oxerbilc. I he audience is instructed to
remain silent while moving their heads in unison like
W ayne and < .urth did during the infamous “Bohemian
Rhapsody” scene m the Mirthmolnle.
“Do you remember in the first If ayne s World when
they were sitting in the car doing a lot of this?” savs a
headhanging assistant director. "Now it's vour turn.”
Apparently some of the extras never saw If dyne s
H'orlJ, as they arc raising their arms in the air while
hanging their heads.
“ I his time no arms, no hanging,” savs the assistant
director before the second take. "Just heads up-and
down, heads up-and-down.”
I he sun’s going down on Waynestock and it’s time

But Myers is still recording the scene where he wel
