Yeah, I've been away and all. Part of my hiatus was because of a wedding. Also during that time, Ed McMahon passed away. Sooo...to kinda conjoin the aspects, here's Part One of about 10 (if you want to see the rest, go to YouTube) of The Tonight Show on Dec. 17, 1969. That is the date Tiny Tim (the freak show who made a hit of Tiptoe Through the Tulips)married Miss Vicki on the show. That is, after guest appearances by Phyllis Diller, Florence Henderson and some Lucas guy who originally did Tiptoe. It is part of a complete show, complete with the living color peacock, the acid flashback-quality into sequence, and commercials of the era (telling us to have Pepto tablets for Montezuma's revenge, that salt for cooking is important only for women, and that you can take Salem out of the country, but you can't take the country out of Salem).
Oh, yeah, Ed...a bit chubbier and way darker-haired than how most of you probably remember. And Doc Severinsen looks positively pervy.
