I'm sure it's a total coincidence that no Republican predators are represented in that grid. Unless Santa Claus is one. Does he brutally suppress the elves' and reindeers' unionizing attempts?

Pete Jolly, there's a story. Hadn't thought of poor Pete in a while, not since I saw that he had passed in '04. Sitting here now, it's hard to imagine the relatively young men we were in 1975, when we both were temporarily with the Kitty Carlisle Comedy Caravan. Kitty was a gas to work with, and there were other greats on that brief tour of the northern tier of states. Arlene Galonka, Peggy Cass, Fanny Flagg, and Coy Byner (John's brother) were part of that traveling troop of funny folks. Pete Jolly and I were in a small support ensemble that backed the comedians with various fanfares, instrumental accents, flourishes, sound effects, catcalls, and individual theme songs for each artist. The think I remember about Pete was his penchant for tapioca. It wasn't easy to find on the road, but Pete had a skill for ferreting it out, no matter where we were. I recall he woke me up one night in my room at a Motel 6, I believe we were in Pembina, ND. "Taste THIS," he said, shoveling a spoonful of warm tapioca into my mouth before I could get my slippers on. Of course, it was delicious, and Pete was pleased and proud to have found good tapioca in such a far flung locale. Not long after, we parted ways. Pete took up with Dick Contino and I (as I recall) hooked up with Pat Suzuki for a quick 9-date run through Manitoba. Life was sweet then, and Pete made it extra Jolly, indeed.

....and is larry harmon/bozo a pervert?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:41pm
Irwin:

Larry Harmon was one litigious SOB, going after anyone who created any clown character with the slightest whiff of Bozo, or anyone even wearing a goddamn Bozo costume on TV. One of the funniest emails I ever received from my friend Don Brockway was also one of the shortest. Sent in July 2008, the subject line was: "Good news about Bozo." In the body of the message was simply a URL—which linked to an Associated Press obit for Larry Harmon.

Irwin your show has a great vibe . I thought I would miss the Joe Frank (get better Joe) or the music factory, but it’s just you, getting it done man. From the cool understated jazz, to the infectious rhythms, and everything in between , back announced in velvety tones. All very inviting like a warm friendly bar on the winter evening. Merry Christmas and thanks for a great year of countless shows of the same quality.

berbo:

I decided to look up the "cram it, clown" story that my friend told me back in the 70's. Because it is 2017 and I can do that.
Snopes says it is probably an urban myth.
"Larry Harmon has some credibility issues, however."
