SCTV, 4/7/77 - "Dining With LaRue" at Tang Gardens

[spacecowboy5000]

"He's Eurasian ..." ROFL

[Prorokini1]

Maybe I'm easy to entertain…but already the opening stills of LaRue eating make me ROTFL. These bugged-out eyes…

This episode is unusual because usually "Dining with LaRue" ends with him storming off in a huff…this time, however, he seems to be pleased. Until he passes out, that is.

[NevadaBoss]

the greatest of the television comedy greats...

check out Dave's improv moment & how Johnny LaR almost loses it...

"May I now order for youuuuuu? To help you?????"

sigh...

Johnny, Johnny--the world is full of nothing but cheap punks since u left us...

[TheGodsuncle]

Have you noticed that Dave Thomas is in ALL the 'Chinese' or 'Japanese' roles in these SKITS!?? That also tend to be a bit sensitive!

Lin Ye Tang, who would later co-star in "On the Waterfront, Again".

[Jamiesyme999]

A wonderful sketch where you can feel the chemistry between the actors, I miss good comedy

[binkle1]

Remember his smoking jacket with the "J La R" monogram? ;)

[MrBasilGanglia]

Does anyone recall an early Dr. Tongue? I remember H. Ramis and he was playing an Eastern Indian type and a squirrel ran up his leg? I can't find it yet.

Thanks for the great post.
