Remember Aunt Ester from Sanford & Son? LaWanda Page was a nightclub comic with a decidedly blue act, here's a bit from one of her outrageous 'party' albums, Preach On Sister, Preach On!

FRIDAY I didn't catch it myself, but Rosie's live special the other night was a huge flop, both critically and from a ratings standpoint. Variety delivered this stinging rebuke: If Rosie O’Donnell and company were consciously determined to strangle the rebirth of variety shows in the crib, they couldn’t have done a better job of it than this pre-holiday turkey. I just gave an interview to a magazine in Canada about the variety format possibly making a comeback, several of the networks have a variety show in development. What will get people to watch? I had a concept in mind that VH1 was interested in for a time, I still think it's a good idea. No monologues, no silly skits, just solid entertainment. It's the POV that's important, not the host, duets with Liza Minnelli just won't cut it. Speaking of which, I just loved the musical comic Victor Borge when he would turn up on various variety shows back in the day, like here with Dean Martin for a variation of his hilarious punctuation routine, something he milked for decades on TV and it always killed. Some of you guys will remember the 'Great Dane' from his "Phonetic Punctuation" routine on The Electric Company.
On December 16th at 8:00 pm The Spirit of Christmas from 1950 with the Mabel Beaton marionettes will be shown on My Network TV. Friday,

We've
heard from another Romper Room teacher: "I was Miss
Linda on Romper Room in Charlotte for a short stint in 1970. The
reason for my early retirement was born in September of that year. I think
the person who followed me was the last Charlotte Romper Room teacher.
I substituted some for her before WCCB cancelled the show. The only
name I can remember from those days is a cameraman, Art Norman.
He went on to become a news anchorman in Charlotte and Chicago.
The cameramen were real jokesters. They put masking tape all over
my magic mirror. They put Crisco in the do-bee puppet. Of
course, I didn't know they had done these things until I was live
on air and tried to use my magic mirror or stick my hand in the do-bee
puppet!" - Linda Hamel, formerly "Miss Linda"
