This has to be the funniest show that no one watched. At least that what it seemed to me when I tried to describe this to my friends and co-workers at the time. From regular guests William W.D. "Bud" Prize (Kenneth Mars) to Fannie Flagg to Tom Waits it was hilarious. Kenneth Mars and his "Chinodontist routines" on how he was trying to fix his lantern jaw , Fannie Flagg having relations with aliens ("they shined a blue light on my private parts.."). Tom Waits at the wedding of Tony Roletti and his "Almost Lovely" bride. Waits comment before playing "the Piano's been drinking" - "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy".
The first year they had a bit where one of the guests was a Jew who was stopped by police driving through Fernwood. Of course they had to bring him on the show. Jerry's first question was "What's Barbara Streisand really like?" or something like that. Martin Mullen and Fred Willard were hilarious and I'm sure mostly improvised. Great show. I'm sure a little dated now but I'd sure like to get a DVD of this.
