AboutMike Hensel Expertise I will try and answer all questions dealing with television...show names, plots, actors, roles, networks, etc...US shows primarily; not real knowledgeable on TV from other countries...I lean heavily into past, more so than current, television...and, my knowledge dealing with "reality" shows is limited, due to the fact that I really can't stand the genre (my apologies to all the "Reality" fans out there...)
Experience Years of watching and cataloging television shows
Question Dear Mr. Hensel: For years I carried around a vague memory of a Mel Brooks-related comic who sang a hilarious sarcastic "tribute" to the actor Glenn Ford on The Tonight Show many years ago. Yesterday I finally identified the comic as Ronny Graham and found that he made 11 appearances on Carson's show between 1/5/73 and 12/17/75. Would you have any idea of how to identify on which of these shows Graham sang his hilariously edgy "Glenn Ford"? If any "Best of Carson" or other video archive has the clip, I'd love to buy it. For what it may be worth, this web page has an article that refers to the performance about three-quarters of the way down: http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:j9-aZuYpJ8EJ:www.thecolumnists.com/miller/mi...
Thanks for any help you might be able to provide me. -- David Bittinger, Brookfield, WI
Answer Hello, David, from a few miles to your east (I'm from Milwaukee)...
I don't recall Graham's spot on Carson, so I don't have an answer for you right now...
I will continue to look for this, tho, and when I find it; I'll follow-up here...
Sorry I couldn't answer your query (right now, anyway) !!!
