Second City Television: 2x4

SCTV Solid Gold Telethon

Sammy Maudlin, Bobby Bittman and Johnny LaRue anchor the show-length star-studded charity telethon. A great celebrity schmooze fest. The Solid Gold Telethon marks the first of three telethons SCTV would air in an attempt to get cash from viewers; it was followed by Pledge Week in Series 4, and the very final SCTV episode, Pledge Week in Series 6.

The Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme duet is an almost note-for-note parody of Jackie and Roy’s rendition of the tune “You Smell So Good”, a jazz classic. (Thanks Charlie R)
