And Nipsey Russell all by himself is COMEDY GOLD.
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

Dude, Nipsy Russell in The Wiz singing "Slide some oil to me" was a great moment in history in Casa kat. That was one funktastic movie. I need to see that again.

Nipsey Russell is eternally linked with "Match Game," Gene Rayburn, and Brett Somers in my head. Also, for some reason, Rodney Allen Rippy (possibly the similiarity of "Nipsey" and "Rippy", as well as the fact that they are both 1970s icons).

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Charles Nelson Reilly makes me think of Paul Lynde on Hollywood Squares. And I always think of Paul Lynde on Hollywood Squares answeing a question with "Balaaaaam's aaaasssss."

Match Game was such a dirty little game show. When I catch it every now and again on GSN, I cannot believe how it courted the smarm. Smart, funny smarm, but smarm nonetheless.
And funktastic 70's music. I'm just gonna keep saying funktastic all day because now it's stuck in my head. Funktastic, funktastic. This will make for an interesting meeting in about 15 minutes.

Now I'm saying funktastic too, kat. And I'm humming Maceo Parker. Thanks!

Match Game was such a dirty little game show.
It really was. I can't believe I watched it at such a tender age. My poor little childlike brain just filled right up with double entendres.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We captioned the whole run of that and all the caption editors LOVED working on it and were always calling people over to watch a particularly mind-blowing exchange.
