LANSING, MI - It has been known for years that former Gov. Jennifer Granholm appeared on "The Dating Game" in 1978.

Now, you can watch it below.

After Granholm's fiery speech to the Democratic National Convention last week - which some have called her Howard Dean moment - a video has surfaced on YouTube of her on the dating show.

She has puffy hair - lots of it - wears tight jeans and suspenders, and asks questions of the three bachelors like "What was the most famous girl you ever dated famous for?"

The host says she hails from British Columbia, is multi-talented, works in public relations and enjoys the arts, theater and the great outdoors. He also welcomes her as "the cute and curvaceous Jennifer Granholm."

She had big hair before big hair was cool.

Man, the seventies were a horrible time in our history. Was she considered hot back then?!?!

[DemforBush]

What? Did she just get off her shift at the lumber mill?

[cripplecreek]

That was a long time ago and I was only 14 in 78 so its hard to say what I considered hot back then.

Me too, exactly. I do remember thinking Valerie Bertinelli was smoking back then. And Barbi Benton.

Mouth open, teeth showing ~ full OSMOND!

The 70s were absolutely horrid ~ but I guess it helps you make a serious overbite disappear.

LOL When I showed this to my wife we both agreed she looked like she belonged in the Month Python Lumberjack sketch

"She's a lumberjack and she's ok..."

I actually like thick big hair over that Marcia Brady part in the middle blah look many women wear today.

"Me too, exactly. I do remember thinking Valerie Bertinelli was smoking back then. And Barbi Benton. "

Barbi Benton WAS hot!!!!!!

She would have been considered to be quite hot in the seventies.

Hair styles change. And we get to suffer when the grandkids pick up the album and take a look. Good entertainment on a rainy day.

On the other hand I wonder how many grandkids have picked up an album and wondered who that young lady in the string bikini was?

“Oh it’s your grandma”.
“Nana?”
“Yup”
“No...that can’t be her”.
Laughter......

I too was 14 in 78 and Farrah Fawcett was the hottest thing on the planet at that time.

“Egads - If I were one of the batchelors on that show and saw that, I’d turn gay.”

Your letting what she became politically color what you saw in the video. Dang, she is hot in the video! And yes, the big hair was sexy then, for anyone who didn’t live thru the 70’s. But it shows that we all get old and ugly don’t we!!
