Carol & Friends


Cass Elliot and Bernadette Peters popped up the other night on “As the Stomach Turns,” with Harvey Korman as Canoga Falls’ leading underground filmmaker, Randy Wahoo. Pretty sure the syndicated version of “The Carol Burnett Show” scrimped on the earlier seasons -- and I was only alive to watch the later ones -- so we’re loving the “Laugh-In” vibe and extra helpings of Lyle Waggoner!


Also have been enjoying all of Nanette Fabray's appearances -- she was the original Tim Conway!

Cass the First Stone


So this is how that (untrue) story about choking on a sandwich got started. (I guess "ham" was added to embellish as it was the most popular kind in those days.) RIP, Cass Elliot, who died 40 years ago today. She was just 33.  (Hat tip to Find a Death.)
