I really think a lot of you (you as well, Ken) would find this fascinating if you've not heard it: <br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjUUOyS2j3Q<br /><br />Some of it is downright prophetic. I love when Groucho gets serious. I've only seen brief flashes of that on some of the Cavett interviews and in parts of his books.<br />This is not my YouTube Channel, nor am I gaining anything other than sheer pleasure by listening and wanting to share it to some who might just love this gem.Jake Mabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908036270824377919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-71151095628517078032015-08-16T23:46:47.630-07:002015-08-16T23:46:47.630-07:00I think the idea was a joke in the first place - t...I think the idea was a joke in the first place - that Jewish homes would have a cooked chicken cooling on the windowsill, rather than an apple pie. (Personally I don't cook whole chickens except when making chicken soup - I usually do a big stockpot with two or three chickens at once, just before Passover every year, and save half of the result in quart containers in the freezer for future use as "penicillin.")gottacooknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-47400676848277997992015-08-16T23:22:00.310-07:002015-08-16T23:22:00.310-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Tar Babynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-34397210979229069672015-08-16T19:46:41.863-07:002015-08-16T19:46:41.863-07:00Jewish delis always have a chicken in the window, ...Jewish delis always have a chicken in the window, supposedly.Cap'n Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783977137812876489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-38181358575783428602015-08-16T19:18:40.590-07:002015-08-16T19:18:40.590-07:00Were those the same tuxes later used by Jim Carrey...Were those the same tuxes later used by Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels?MikeK.Pa.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-70175137327360506542015-08-16T13:54:47.593-07:002015-08-16T13:54:47.593-07:00I did a quick search but couldn't find video o...I did a quick search but couldn't find video of Don Kirshner himself. However, I do remember him from his late night music shows and trust me, Paul Shaffer's impersonation is pretty spot on. So if you can find Paul pretending to be Kirshner, just go with that. There are some musician segments on youtube. There's also one with Lettermen doing stand up form 1977.<br /><br />There is a Don Kirshner website, apparently with future plans for DVD releases of the old shows. I can't say that's the most exciting news I've had today. I'm pretty sure the most exciting news today was at the supermarket, where Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi was on sale. Way ahead of Kirshner DVDs.<br /><br />"First window without a chicken in it was CBS." God, that's a great line.Charles H.
