A Night Out With Linda Cohn
The first thing you notice about Linda Cohn is the voice. It's a definitive Long Island accent that is so pronounced it sounds like someone doing a bad Long Island accent impersonation.

Who's Sorry Now? Golf Edition
It's bad enough that your name is John Henry Isenhour III.
