And the band plays and I'm laughing my ass off... Oh dear this is funny. We knew right here that these two were doing it right.

Is this about the creation of art or ...management? Brilliant. 3 1/2 minute gem. Treat yourself.

It's a shame that some of the crap on youtube gets Millions of view's. But after six months, a little gem like this gets under 2000.

May & Nichols weren't psychic--- they were the hottest comedy duo in the country at the time. To get them to appear on the awards show, the producers probably had to consent to THEIR terms, with the consolation that the television industry might come off looking as a good sport for allowing its own hand to be, um, bitten.

[JohnSmithAprilMay]

Either May & Nichols were psychic, or the industry has always been as terrible as it is now. Great satire, thanks for posting.
