???hey, maybe someone has already asked this, but, what is this current pic. in the background....I'm sure it's from one of their tv shows...but since they have such odd and funny looks on their faces, what's going on?...
just wonderin'

[beaner]

Yeah, look at the face on Karen. She looks mean...arrrrgh!! hehehehe. I don't remember what show it's from but I do remember when they sang "On Top of the Forum" that was in the background so it's from this same show.

I love this one because they are doing the old slap stick jokes Karen sure was a funny person

;Dthanks for the info...for some reason, the way Richard has his hand out and facial expression, I first think maybe he's acting a little like Jack Benny...and perhaps he did at one time or another...and since they are telling old jokes as was mentioned, he could very well have. I can easily see R. having his hand out and then putting it back up with his fingers under his chin and/ or arms folded...just as Benny did ..and for those not too familiar w/ Jack Benny...it's one of
those things or mannerisms which can only really be seen to understand or to understand his comical ways.
I recall vaguely watching Benny as a guest on this or that show and then his own show.
He started out in a radio show.
I watched Biography some time back all about Benny, and listening to his old radio jokes, and there was some
funny stuff in there.
Anyway,...

Hi Kathy! Karen and Richard certainly seemed to be having a good time as they sang the old jokes. It was one of my favorite parts of the show. One because I enjoy good light hearted humor and two because Karen was singing in a voice she usually didn't use.
