Michael Landon on The Rich Little Show 1976 - Part 1

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Michael Landon! Hmm. Rich, I want to tell you, it's really a pleasant change for me being on your show. Really? You mean doing variety is different from doing Bonanza or Little House on the Prairie? Oh, let me put it this way. This is the first show that I've been able to do with indoor plumbing. Funny thing... You people are disgusting! I hope you hurt yourselves! Listen. Funny thing is, I've always wanted to do a show with outdoor plumbing. As a matter of fact, I've always wanted to do a show where the horse isn't two guys under a blanket. Now, let's face the facts. Indoors or outdoors, it doesn't make any difference. We are not doing the most important part of the show. What's that? The commercials. Hey, you know you're right. Let's do something about that right now. We like the ads that sell you everything. Commercials that make those cash registers ring. We like the ads that make the young girls buy. We like the ads, we like the ads. Well, only half a cup of coffee. Darling, you know how coffee keeps you up at night. You're right, darling. Well, only half an egg? Well, dear, you know how eggs affect your cholesterol count. It's true, darling. Oh, no, just half a strawberry? Sweetie, you know how you break out. I'm late for work now, anyway. Dear, you better take half a day off. We like the ads, we like the ads. U.S. Express Traveler's Checks are better and safer than money. They're guaranteed of lost or stolen. U.S. Express Traveler's Checks, don't be caught without them. Stick them up. Give me all your cash. Now, this is what I was telling you about. Watch this. Sorry, friend, I don't have any cash. I've got U.S. Express Traveler's Checks. Good, take me on your vacation. Take the young girls. We like the ads, we like the ads. My wife, I don't know how she does it. She cooks, she cleans, she fixes the roof, drains the swimming pool, rotates the wheels on her wagon. In the summertime, she chops cotton. Oh, she gets plenty of time. So to make sure that I get all the love and attention I need, I have Geraldine every day. We like the ads, we like the ads.
