Give that man a Cuban. The way I heard it (from a friend of McDowell's), Strawberry was booked to do the show, but subsequently got himself into some of the trouble he was famous for and was under house arrest on the day of the filming.

Apparently there is some mention of this on the DVD, of which I was unaware.
