Five O'Clock Funnies

The "Merv Griffin" episode from Seinfeld.

Bedtime Music

Merv Griffin and Jack Sheldon voice How About You for a couple of puppets. About as weird as could be but somehow it works.

The Jack Sheldon Movie Premiere

File this under some Saturday night entertainment. Penny Peyser has posted on YouTube this brief video of the premiere of film she wrote, directed and produced with her husband talkradio host Doug McIntyre of KABC, Trying To Get Good: The Jazz Odyssey of Jack Sheldon, held last month in Westwood. Sheldon of course is the genius trumpeter and vocalist who's done everything from leading Merv Griffin's orchestra to the voice of Schoolhouse Rock to starring in a 1960s crime drama.

I had the opportunity to attend this premiere with the lovely and talented Rita of Sunland, a regular caller on numerous talkradio programs and part of the Sunland-Tujunga hottie patrol. And the evening was hosted by our good friend, KABC producer and sports host, John Phillips. Other luminaries in the house included actor Stacy Keach, singer Melissa Manchester and mayoral candidate Walter Moore.
