VIDEO STAR NEW STYLES AUTO ACCIDENT BACK Clifford Uncle Clif'fy Daniel- sen has returned to his three-hour TV show on Tuesday nights. He brought back the ancient jokes he has been using for the last five years along with some new ones that he recently stole from other comedians. As guest stars he had the famous gorilla acrobatic team of Spotty, Mickey, and Duchess. They performed their stellar act of swinging from rafter to rafter on the ceiling while hellowing at tlte top of their lungs. The only casualty of this act was the cam- eraman who got seasick while following the swinging from raft- er to rafter to rafter. Another guest star was the fa- mous operatic star Joan Jenkins. She sang her renowned version of Frankie and Johnny. Of course Uncle Cliffy had to get into the act hy donning an Apache dress and strutting across the stage. He closed the show with his cus- tomary saying to all his little nieces and nephews. ill.
