Description

In this totally hilarious sendup of the popular "Mandrell Sisters" show back in 1981, Bob Hope, Merlin Olsen and Bruce Jenner don Chantilly lace gowns to offer their rendition of "Take This Job and Shove It." Definitely must be seen to be believed. You can read about this number as well as lots of backstage stories and tid-bits in my book "THE LAUGH MAKERS: A Behind-the-Scenes Tribute to Bob Hope's Incredible Gag Writers." Says "laugh-In's" Gary Owens: "The Laugh Makers is the book we've all been waiting for. It's jam-packed with stories, anecdotes and un-retouched photos from a fondly remembered past, recalling often hilarious, sometimes heartwarming, and always touching tales of legendary stars, near-legendary stars and one or two complete failures — which happens in show business. You can look it up in your Funk & Wagnalls." To get your copy, just click on this Amazon link: Or this Barnes & Noble link: Or, if you'd prefer the KINDLE e-version for $2.99, click here:
