As brain-addled coworker Jim Ignatowski, Christopher Lloyd won his first of two Taxi Emmys for this Season 4 outing. Elaine agrees to take Jim to a posh musicale, where he first embarrasses her by plunking out âLondon Bridge Is Falling Downâ on a baby grand, then, in a typically inexplicable Jim move, performs a Chopin opus. ( Taxi writer Stan Daniels did the playing.) âChris has an otherworldliness that was written into the show,â Henner fondly recalls. In an earlier scene, Jim sincerely offers gift after gift (lamb chops?) to Elaine. The âuproariousâ bit almost got cut, she says, because audience laughter was causing the episode to run long. But âthatâs where you really see the humanity between the two of them.â The scene stayed.
