And still going strong after all those years :)

@leavetheherbitalone The ladies are wearing their Easter hats. Although it looks a bit like a swimming cap, that type of hat was actually quite stylish at the time.

@RelVleDy Apology for my "lack of coffee" moment, I should used the word "media", not "medium".....
-
@RelVleDy "LP" (Long Playing) indicates that the medium is an actually record, "Album" indicates a collection of music regardless of medium. I.e. an album could be an LP, an SP (single), an EP (extended play), a CD, a cassette, MP3s, etc. Of course in these days I'd guess only LPs and SPs existed....

@RelVleDy They are one and the same....

Forgive my lack of music knowledge, but what is the difference between an album and an LP?

I knew the wife of the man who taught Mr. Winters how to paint right around this same time period in which he appeared on this show. They liked him a lot, although they have passed. Jonathan Winters is still alive and kicking, and along with Don Rickles, and Jerry Lewis are the last ones remaining of the old classic comedians. BUT WHAT'S EVEN BETTER - He was married to the same woman for 60 years before she died in 2009. Very rare for celebs to stay faithful. He's a class act all around!

Is Arlene going swimming right after the show?
Today, you see panels of dim-witted celebs who couldn't find their arse with both hands. Or, so-called reality shows with bimbos and himbos trying to outwit each other. But on WML, emceed by the dapper JC Daly, you saw smart, really smart people who could think and speak well. TV was great then. We didn't know how we had it.

In the mid-80s I had the honor and pleasure of writing for Jonathan. Here's how I did it. We set up the character and situation and I gave him an opening line or two and a funny line to close with and then just sat back and let him "connect" the beginning and ending with the funniest craziest wildest stuff that came into his head. Yes, I laughed as hard as any audience AND I was getting paid, to boot. Damn good job.
