Comic Lenny Kent, who is known as “Mr.
Recapitulation” for his ability to entertainingly summarize events he has just
watched, opens the show by describing the commercials and station break that
preceded the show. He will appear at the
end of the show to recap the entire program.
His unusual act consists mostly of jabbering nonsense, with occasional
clear phrases serving as punchlines.
Yoel Sharr from Israel: “I play music on my teeth”
Sharr performs “Never on Sunday”
(1960) on his teeth (and assorted other body parts) backed by Norman Paris and
his Orchestra. Separate from this
novelty act, Sharr is an accomplished jazz musician who can play multiple
actual instruments. He would continue to
perform and record in a career that spanned decades but never really generated
significant attention.

schools, leaving the two of them alone.
Rhonda is in the fifth grade.

28 seconds. Mrs. Sugarman reads the same
