Phil Hartman cameo


Hearing Phil Hartman sing the closing song made me smile.

I'm fairly certain it's John Paragon.

reply

Yeah, that is John Paragon.

I know you are, but what am I?

reply

Let's ask Jambi, oh wait a minute, he is Paragon.

reply

I'm not so certain. Sounds just like Hartman.

Who Is Driving?! Oh No! Bear! Bear Is Driving! How Can That Be??!!

First of all, it's definitely Paragon.

Secondly, Paragon was one of the few "Playhouse" cast/crewmembers to participate in the Broadway production due to guild/union issues. Considering all the people who weren't brought back I don't see them going out of their way to secure permission from the Hartman estate to use him singing. Paragon, on the other hand, was already on-board.

But yeah, if you watch the original Roxy special from '81 all you need to do is check out the scene where Jambi sings and there's no question that it's Paragon singing again at the end.
