Blankety Blank: Kenny Everett Bends Wogan's Wand

[loveuforeverapril20]

Did Kenny break Wogan's microphone everytime he was on this show? lol

[dilwich123]

Its a wonder someone didnt get hurt with those over sized comedy Scissors.

[feline1973]

I remember this moment, it was so "edgy" lol

[mydesigirl84]

anyone else think kenny is kinda hot?

[loveuforeverapril20]

@mydesigirl84 I think Kenny is totally hot!

[jr2nd]

kenny everett = classic brilliant comedian

[CycolacFan]

This show cost about £6 per episode to make and was one of the funniest on TV at the time.

[DCHurlford1]

Didn't notice Sally James (of Tiswas fame) there next to Kenny. Man she was a BABE in her day.

[DCHurlford1]

Ha ha, the late great Kenny Everett putting Wogan in his place. Class.

[webbhead92]

Why didnt he just snap it? Thats what Les Dawson did to it on his first show.

[59211bart]

microphone was modeled on the Sony ECM-51, Gene Rayburn's microphone from the 1973–1982 American version but was, in fact, an ECM-50 mounted on a car radio aerial.

[DANWOODHOUSE]

Did Kenny Everett appear on the show during Les Dawson's time?

[BADALASS]

Where did he get the shears from?

[Fatkidsaliva]

That was so staged lol

[59211bart]

@Fatkidsaliva This instance at least was visibly planned, as Wogan deliberately bent forward for him to grab it, and when the wand refused to break, Everett quipped "It worked in rehearsals".

[kbcmighty]

he should have stuck that mic up his arse sideways . I flippin hate Terry Wogan and always have had . He is shit . Terry Arse more like .

[twistedsistaqteu]

@kbcmighty you belittle the togmeister at your peril, young man lol

[wpinklady]

blankety blank having a w***!!

[madabbafan]

the mic gag was a running joke every time Kenny was on the show they would come up with a new way for him to damage it. (Although the first time it happend it was unrehearsed)

[yourmumsucksmycock]

How did Terry Adams get on Blankety Blank? Or was this when his voice was banned???????

[gwelsh123]

i think u mean gerry adams, but lol anyways

[AlbieGray]

Wendy Richard has fun here.  :) Kenny and Terry make one fantastic comedy duo here. :)

[Harvey030547]

Luv Kenny!

[jaybeeuk]

Who's the girl in the bottom right (Kenny's left) I think its Sally James but I could be wrong!

[mrmatchgame]

Your right!!!

[tinaturntable]

I thought it was Wendy Richards.

[mrmatchgame]

Wait a tic, jaybeeuk is wrong, Wendy Richards is on his right.

[blondieo80]

@mrmatchgame bottom right (Kenny's left) I think its Sally James

[Hoddersrevenge]

Correct.

[psychedelic7319]

@jaybeeuk Its definitely Wendy Richards.

[psychedelic7319]

@jaybeeuk Its Wendy Richards

[wesmatron]

@jaybeeuk Yep. Sally James. She had a profound affect on my childhood :)

[quizmaster85]

"That's funny, it worked in rehearsal!"

[gnamp]

I wish I hadn't watched this again. I believed it was real when I first saw it as a child. Alas, it was completely staged. Terry Wogan even held the bloody thing out for him.

[happinesscounts]

what was the answer to the question (what was the polar bear wearing

[WeaRTheD]

a sun hat maybe i dunno

[hoss1962]

It was funnier when he bent it - it was obvious Wogan was not expecting it that time..

[LtGenAile]

give that man the GC!

[rolodub]

Kenny should have taken his wig off

[Squab1972]

[jaychristie909]

[prausch65]

[allenjeremy]

In 1984 when Les Dawson took over from Terry Wogan as the host of Blankety Blank Les broke the microphone in half on his first episode as host.
