Buttercup: “I’ve just been hired to appear in a Broadway play”
Buttercup is a cow, specifically the cow
that so entertainingly ruined the final segment from the previous week. Buttercup will appear in the musical Greenwillow, starring Anthony Perkins
and with music and lyrics by celebrated composer Frank Loesser (Guys and Dolls). It would run for 97 performances between
March 8 and May 28, 1960. The show’s
producer Robert Willey appears.
Don Barber from the University of Houston and Bernard Schultz from
the University of Texas: “We trained for football by studying ballet”
Both players
are decked out in their football uniforms, including padding. Their lovely young instructor Dewann Wharton
puts them through exercises and a brief performance, while still in their
football uniforms.
Special Guest Eva Gabor challenges the
panel with tongue twisters.
On December
17, Gabor will be the hostess of The Big
Party (1959), an ambitious but ultimately short-lived series of variety
shows on CBS. She is the youngest of the
three socialite Gabor sisters, including Zsa Zsa and Magda, who between them
had a total of twenty husbands. She
would later achieve her greatest fame as Lisa Douglas on the television sitcom Green Acres (1965-1971).
