Jackie Rogers Jr. "Gimme Jackie" 1983 SCTV

Martin Short as a chaotic Jackie Rogers Jr. concert is the subject of the documentary "Gimme Jackie".


F Lee Bailey and Jackie's manager, Mel McElroy, arrange the concert. Mel has hired Shriners to do security. Jackie arrives at Primrose Ranch and declares that the concert is about "music, good weed, and some heavy duty balling." The Shriners are causing trouble, so they cut the opening act, Senor Wences, short. Jackie starts his set with "The Love Boat Theme." The crowd starts fighting with the Shriners, so Jackie stops the show and a riot breaks out. The crowd rushes the stage.
Indicted for inciting the riot, F Lee Bailey persuades Jackie to appear on Lie Detector to prove his innocence.
