Thank you Al.

Wow so Jay Stewart got Pat Finn for TJW before Jay's death. Of course, Pat got STYD and then the Big Spin.

@@danielanderson4726 I am not sure if that happened probably Fred Wostbrock did when he took over. Like they said Jay's time as an agent was not productive people thought he was looking for work for himself.

@@jwgreek8606 Based on the game show FAQ book, Finn was a finalist along with Rolf and some sportscaster (can't remember his name, but he does CFB for Fox now) for Daytime WOF after Pat left. NBC wanted the sportscaster from what i've read, but Merv wanted Rolf, and that's what NBC got.

Unfortunately, I don't have anymore myself, but Airchexx.com might. Also, check out themellowsound.net It has most of the songs that aired on KNX-FM from its beginning in 1973 until its format change in 1983. Here's the story of how it got revived from one of its proprietors kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eruUgaii09HeZ2w.html

There was another time when the contestants for one show were offered a live circus elephant. The elephant was brought onstage, and to the shock of Bill, the contestants, the staff, and the audience at home & in the theater, the elephant defecated on a coast-to-coast television broadcast. Everybody cracked up at the sight, but Bill straightened himself out after allowing himself a laugh, and remained in total control of the stage. He looked into the camera calmly, waited for the audience howls to die down, and then deadpanned, "Be sure to join us next week when The Price is Right offers equal time to the Democratic party." My grandmom was laughing at that one too.

This one didn't inlove a live commercial, but 20 years later, me and my grandmom were watching $ale of the Century which had Pep Rally Week, where college students play for prizes and a Jeep. Along comes the second In$tant Bargain, and Lakita is in the lead by $1. The IB offers her a trip to a dude ranch. With a dude ranch, the obvious prop is a horse. However, a horse won't fit in the studio, so they dressed up two models in a horse costume. Halfway through Summer's description of the trip, the horse makes the attempt to buck. The costume for the front legs comes off, and Summer is trying ever so hard to keep a straight face while me and grandmom were laughing so hard. Then Jim Perry came out and said that "It's not a real horse" and that stopped it. Grandmom later told me that "that's the hardest I've laughed since Elizabeth Ashley lost her balance during a live commercial on The Price Is Right and flung one of the pies into Bill Cullen!"

The 1950s hosts or announcers or sometimes the model did live ads a lot, Bud Collyer did them on his shows, so did Jan Murray, because i remember my grandmom watching "Treasure Hunt" and he or guest host Bob Kennedy or announcer Tom Reddy or Bill Wendell or Bob Williams or Carl King or the "Pirate Girl" Greta Thyssen would do them. Bill Leyden on It Could Be You did them or announcer Wendell Niles too. Johnny Carson did live ads on his quiz show too or Ed McMahon sometimes did them. On Dough Rei Mi, Gene Rayburn or announcer Roger Tuttle would do it, and on Concentration, Hugh Downs or Bob Clayton or Wayne Howell or Art James did that too. When the networks took ownership and control of the programs, the hosts and program announcers started to deliver the live spots. I remember my grandmom seeing these hosts and announcers deliver live spots. Did Jack Barry do live ads on TTD or 21?

Wasn't the last time grandmom laughed at an live commercial blunder on Price- on ABC, Johnny Gilbert screwed up a live commercial once too.

Thank you.
