Ed and Bill Shorter hosted the show as Tommy and Dick Sputters and did a re- markable job of the famous “Mom always liked you best” act. Then followed the Supremes (Jo Ann Eppes, Mary Lewis, and Sharon Eppes) singing two popular hit songs. Chuck Bradshaw, as janitor, kept the stage clean by various unannounced entrances with his broom. Commercials consisted of After Smeltzer’s No Matter What Shape Your Stomach’s In (Robbie Hawkes, Susan Wilson, Billy Willis, and Mike Cary), Blizzard Bleach (starring Doris Toney as Phyllis Diller and Jerry Williamson as her helpful husband, Fang), Sanislush (with Lynda Hudgins as the hardworking housewife and Johanna Olsen as her fairy god-moth- er), and Hai Judo (Debbie Lewis and Ramsay Young). Coach Golubic portrayed Pat Paulson with an edi- torial on today’s fashions. Donna McCann followed as Goldie, giving a hippie translation of a Shakespear- ean excerpt. Seven boys stepped out as the Rockettes and performed to the music of the Blue Banana Tree. Tom Knight, as a rising comedian, told us of the ori- gin of rock and roll. The Backwoods Association, a group of girl hillbilly singers, then sang their selec- tion, “Putting on the Agony.” Mike Gregory was master of ceremonies for the program, introducing the Court and taking part in various acts. Mr. Via crowns Gary Simmons King of Hearts for 1968.
