[From "Kovacs Corner" on YouTube.com] - This clip show an early incarnation of magician Matzoh Hepplewhite. Also featured is Ernie's female sidekick at the time, Barbara Loden. At the time of her death at the age of 48 from breast cancer, she was married to the director Elia Kazan, by whom she had one child. She was perhaps best-known for her role in Kazan's 1961 film, "Splendor in the Grass", in which she played Warren Beatty's sister, as well as for portraying a fictionalized version of Marilyn Monroe in Kazan's stage production of "After the Fall", written by Monroe's former husband, playwright Arthur Miller. In 1970, Loden wrote, produced, directed, and starred in the independent film, "Wanda". Innovative in its cinéma vérité style, it was one of the very few American films directed by a woman to be theatrically released at that time. The film won the International Critics' Prize at the Venice Film Festival in 1970 and was presented at the 1971 Cannes Film Festival. Getting back to Ernie, you can bet that the stagehands filled that pint bottle with something more substantial than tea!

Someone replaced the water with real booze, and you can see him react to it. Funny. I saw this on a documentary about Kovacs.

rolko52, if you lo0ok close enough you can see that it's a garden thermometer. Kovacs was always spot on with his humor.

What? Is she 9 feet tall? It's two women

@Hartm20032004 - Of course we know it's two woman! That is the point of the gag. Kovacs was playing off the absurdity. You and "broncomatt1" are not telling us anything that our sense of humor doesn't already know.
