Bob & Ray, Jane, Laraine & Gilda – Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?
An evening pause: Bob & Ray, performing live in 1979 with the three very talented ladies from the original Saturday Night Live crew.
Hat tip Charlie Tutino.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
I just can see Todd and Lisa doing that one. Back when SNL was goofy and genuinely funny.

Do you recall the tv show “Fridays?” (“live, from the LA basin…”) Aired on ABC Friday night (1980-ish) and was an attempt to do battle with SNL. Very funny show, but only lasted 1-2 seasons.

(i say ‘start with,’ cu’z the Archive has at least 1,900+ individual audio files from their shows, across 50 years.)
Sure, I remember Fridays. I’ve been a Bob & Ray fan from way back. This country has lost it’s collective since of humor. I want a… Shrubbery!
Humor should be silly quirky unexpected or some how out of character. Even simple and Juvenal. One of the funniest bits I’ve ever seen was Benny Hill simply trying to sit down in a leather chair and looking embarrassed as it made “noises.” I met Jonathan Winters when I first started in radio. He told some of the filthiest jokes I’ve ever heard. My sides hurt for a week. The thing is this all good natured stuff. The bitter topical screeds which are held out as humor these days just bore me.
