Coyle & Sharpe, EARLY MASTERS of THE
HIDDEN Tape Recorder and street prank
“Coyle & Sharpe were pioneers of an entire genre of comedy, the Man on the Street bit. Every late-night host and YouTube prankster owes a bit of their act to Coyle & Sharpe.”
What makes it work so amazingly, is that Jim was a genuine weirdo who was also an actual con man, and Mal was an actual cool guy who could pass for a square.
