I would compare this to the scene in The Wiz when Dorthy, The Scarecrow, Tin Man and the Lion find out that it is actually Richard Pryor in the back room making all that noise. Then their immediate reaction as followed.

Roland I have been watching this show now for almost 2 years from Auckland New Zealand and this must be the biggest surprise in the history of television - even bigger than "who shot JR." You could have knocked me over with a feather. Not in my wildest dreams did I ever think Shelly could be anything but a black woman. This is one of television's best moments mate!

Thanks for all of the enlightenment Roland. Your show will be truly missed. A-Phi...

[jacquiesimpson]

Okay I too thought Shelly was a young black woman, an intern, new to the job and Roland was sending her though the rough training of pay attention to "where's he going now". 😄😀😄
