What else of note happened in 1969? Today, we live in calm times by comparison… timelines.ws Carol Wayne & Robert Wagner join Johnny, Dean, Bob, George, Judy and Ed to wrap up perhaps the best episode of the Tonight Show (that still exists on tape) in 1969. Earlier in the show, Buddy Rich and Louie Bellson had an amazing drum dual.
SNL, 1984: “Synchronized Swimmers”. Brothers (Harry Shearer and Martin Short (Lawrence Orbach)) in a mockumentary on their entry into the world of synchronized swimming. Christopher Guest is their instructor, a sometime director of regional theater. (Billy Crystal as a moronic member of the audience with a big mouth).
