6. Film, Singer answers audience questions, 1986.

Singer was famous for his cleverness in answering audience questions, as captured in these clips. 

Suggested activity: Before playing the clips, ask students to think about the following: does Singer answer the questions people ask him? How, and to what end, is he using humor in these encounters? How is this similar to, or different from, the way that Gimpel responds to the world?
