Picture Parade 1…’Bob And Ray, Jane, Laraine And Gilda’, 1979
For some still unknown reason, this spacial ran in place of SNL on March 15, 1979. SNL was in it’s white hot fourth season, but in it’s place that Saturday night, we got this paring of long time stars Bob and Ray with Jane Curtain, Laraine Newman and Gilda Radner. Also on the show was a clean shaven, up and comer, Willie Nelson. Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee

Jane Curtain….just beautiful.
Legends, all of them.
A classic special
That show was the ONLY time I liked the song “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy.”
Keep hanging by your thumbs.
Possible pilot?
Great show with bob and ray doing “do you think I’m sexy!”
I watched it when it aired “live”. And I remember Bob and Ray did a version of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?”
Gilda died way too young. What a talent!

Are those RCA TK-45s?
they sold a bunch of DVD’s from that special, too!
Bruce those are RCA TK-44’s. I could align one in my sleep thank you Dean Keane KDNL30
As I vaguely recall, Gilda Radner and Laraine Newman had a limited-engagement two-woman Broadway show running at the time. I think it was sort of a promotion for their show, paired with Bob & Ray, who were enjoying a resurgence in their careers at the time.

Bob & Ray were so far ahead of their time, they stayed hip for their entire career. …Which can’t be said for most comics outside of their generation. (Like Milton Burle who tried SNL and was embarrassingly out of place.)
The Best of the Best of Two Generations here.
Bob’s son Chris and granddaughter Abby each later worked on SNL.
I’ve been a big fan of Bob and Ray for decades and managed to find a VHS tape that had this special. Very Happy to share it on youtube. I left out the Willie Nelson performances because they seemed out of place and interrupted the flow of the show… also because I didn’t want Willie’s attorneys on my case so to speak.. They were both reluctant to do the “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” song but as soon as the audience began laughing they both knew all was well.
