Television Gold!


My god, I'm glad this somehow appeared on my YouTube feed.

Guest starring Harry Nilsson:-https://youtu.be/oBdc6EOT3YY?si=eB7xksRp3Z8m35vC

Not sure how many episodes there were, but it appears the concept is guest stars join a pipe smoking Hugh Heffner surrounded by a diverse (yes, very much ahead of its time!) bevvy of beauties and swinging 60s gentlemen...

Someone should edit Austin Powers in there!

Haha, yeah thought that as well!

To be fair it did have Blofeld / Dr Evil in there:-

The story of when the Grateful Dead appeared on the show has become the stuff of legend...

"As the legend goes, the Dead’s sound engineer/LSD chemist Owsley “Bear” Stanley slipped some of his homemade psychedelic concoction into the Playboy After Dark crew’s coffee supply, effectively dosing the entire staff for the late-night program."

Thanks for posting👍

Harry was such a unique singer, songwriter, & musician. So humble & down to earth😎

reply

Yeah, I love Harry Nilsson.

Just discovered that the show Russian Doll used Gotta Get Up as the time loop reset song, which has got we watching that!

Harry seems to be almost fearful of that Otto guy in that clip but, like you said, maybe just him being a humble guy.

I've been meaning to check that show out also, ever since I heard that the song was used in it.

Didn't they have to stop using it in the 2cd season because it was costing too much money paying for the rights?

reply

Just started the second season but the concept seems to be different so the song isn't needed.

If had two seasons and 50 episodes.
