Frank was mentally above ALL of these people but played the game... musical and lyrical genius
Frank, taking the piss from the very first moment, to his very last! Love him! ❤❤❤
"If there was somebody watching this who had a conscience, their conscience would probably bother them, and they would go get a sandwich."
Frank is hamming it up on this one. Funny stuff!

A mind is like a parachute. If it’s not open, it’s DOESNT work. Thank You MR. Frank Zappa for ALL your incredible musical contributions and for always teaching to have an open mind and seek the truth. Find something you love to do. Then find away to make money at it. ❤
It occurs to me while watching this that Dinah Shore used to date Burt Reynolds, and that Frank Zappa and his family had a bird named Bird Reynolds.

Euphemistic circumlocution. 'nuff said. Frank was a genius.
I "happened" to be home sick from school the day this aired and taped it on my little cassette recorder. Have not seen the film for 40 years. Fun to see Frank and Herb hit it off, and more fun to see and remember how great Dinah Shore was at her job. She asked great questions and instantly tamped down any friction. Ren Woods who l guess was someone for 10 seconds, back then, really had it in for Frank and l cannot figure out why. Anyway props to Dinah. She was a musician way back...Frank knew that. Wonder if anyone else there did. I doubt it. Gonna be on The White Lady Talk Show. And l am going to fan myself the whole time. Jesus, what a weird microcosm of what music was at that time. And Frank even liked Jan and Dean and they were too fucking scared to talk! Dinah Shore was a great singer. This was her retirement job and was great at it also.

Me and a few of my buddies knew this was going to be on TV, so we got together to watch this when it aired and passed multiple joints around for the occasion. It was pretty surreal watching this nice, safe, morning talk show hijacked by Frank. We always wondered if whoever booked Frank got the axe after the show!

Renn Woods: "You already have a country." Just when you think they could have possibly gotten thru the show sans racist remarks. Frank let it bounce off. I didn't know Herb was so cool!

Hadn't seen this one before. Thanks for the post. Frank was very animated and definitely there to have a good time. Dinah did a good job of going with the flow with so many guests on board. Kudos to the producer designating Frank as the last guest. Can you imagine if he was 1st?

I watched this the day it aired and, honestly, if Frank came on first I think he would have been a bit "tamer" instead of having a few other guests to work off. He was truly in rare form that morning! I've been a Zappa fan since the late 60's and I've never seen him more outrageous than on Dinah's show. It was priceless!
Frank said Americans just want to have a good time. Dinah had an album called "For the Good Times". Around this time she'd been having 'good times' with Burt Reynolds and Iggy Pop.

That is Ren Woods, l believe she was in The Wiz and was famous for about 15 seconds. I find it disturbing when a white person is talking about a social phenomenon that affects all of us as Americans, that someone like Ren Woods, who gets lost in the depth of the conversation, has to pivot toward some dopey reflexive racism. "At least you got a country."....what in the fuck are you talking about?? That girl managed to shut Dinah and Frank up, because she was going to go on a rant that *had nothing to do with the discussion*.

She said it for people who understood what she was talking about. I’m sure her and frank spoke after the show because that type of discussion is not welcome on television.

Well, I am the responsible party that introduced the 1998 Comedy Central Canada SNL 1976 and 1978 rebrodcasts into circulation. Up until then, there was only multi-gen copies out there in the trading circles. I posted requests on Usenet for individuals to tape the shows for me in Canada, in trade for some mid 1980's hockey playoff games I had recorded. I transfered the shows to DVD, and it was heavly bootlegged on ebay in 2001-2002 (NOT BY ME) as John, Dan and Me DVD. I have those, as well as SNL Commercial DVD's that were issued. Also a SVHS of the 1976 rebroadcast that aired around Christmas in 2004. I pretty much refrain from posting commercially released material. Not sure if the would get flagged here. I might consider posting though.

@@bundttrundler FZ is on record as flatly rejecting the libertarian platform in 1988. But it's pretty easy to criticize any party for their bad ideas or corruption if you are paying attention. He lampooned the hippies in the 60s because he understood lasting change is accomplished through infiltration in politics. Not by holding signs in the streets. Unfortunately, the American system favors people with a lot money and it's perfectly legal to influence elections with billions of dollars. And recently we've learned that Supreme Court judges can be owned by billionaires and Congress does nothing about it.
