This may have been syndicated - I think I recall it being aired on a "UHF" station. When it bcame america 2nite, maybe it moved to a major network. It was wildly original and genuinely clever,
unlike the homogenized overly pc & bland sitcoms on the dying tube these days.
brilliant then and now. takes special actors to pull this off. who can forget kenny mar's classic burgermeister with a mechanical arm in Young Frankenstein ?
His father was a well-known chicago comic by the name of Sonny Mars.
The funniest thing about this is the "alien undersmell of cheese." In Whitley Strieber's "Communion" book that first popularized the "alien greys", he in fact mentions a smell of cheddar. That book came out in 86 i think.
i remember this show. i was a brilliant satire of gab shows like carson and mike douglas. It didn't last, however, but I think the show wuz syndicated?? Or was it on NBC??
That there is a stimulation, it's not the real thing.

I think this is the funniest skit in the whole America 2Night and Fernwood 2Night catalog.

DIck Shawn was hilarious, but spotty. I wont disagree on Sellers. I don't know Ricky Gervais. You also have to include George Carlin and Peter Cook.

Fannie Flagg and Kenneth Mars are both demented. They make Fred Willard look normal.

Fannie Flagg has such a cute accent. She is a riot.
