    Larry Bud's laugh was equal parts hilarious and chilling. Like being trapped in a funhouse with a maniac.

    Serious question ... yes, I realize (to my horror) that this is 39 years ago ... but I have no recollection of "Mrs Melman", let alone the kid or the brother. Was this their only appearance? Whoever Mrs Melman was, she was *perfect*. 🙂

    39 years before this show, 1944, TV was very much in its experimental phase. NBC was on the air in NYC but Studios 8H (SNL) and 6A (LNwDL) had yet to be converted for TV ...

    “Mrs. Melman” and “Troy ‘Chipper’ Melman” have appeared a number of tines, Troy much more than the Missus. I hear there’s a compilation of the 1982 Melman Buslines ads that includes Troy in many of them.

    Remember this incredible bit, and thought when they introduced his wife Tiffany, they'd bring out a gag hot model. Instead, they found a woman who looked like Larry in drag. Amazing, the whole family. Just beautifully weird.

    Classic! One aspect that stands out is the segment musical intro by Paul Shaffer. I recall a more grandiose version of the same tune from November 2000 when Richard Simmons appeared on The Late Show dressed as a turkey. Would love to see a high quality version of that sometime, if possible. Thanks for the memories!
