A GORILLA HIDING IN A TREE STARTLES PEDESTRIANS, ON ABC'S "JUST FOR LAUGHS"

"Episode 117" � On the next episode of ABC's "Just for Laughs," FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 (8:00-8:30 p.m., ET), a gorilla hanging from a tree surprises pedestrians walking by, a police officer pulls over commuters and attempts to impress them with magic by making their driver's licenses disappear -- only he's unable to make them reappear -- a construction worker squirts passersby with a water gun, and an innocent bystander is asked to look after a drill when it mysteriously turns itself on and begins to pound the pavement.

Rick Miller hosts.
