"Groucho Marx telling the contestant who had thirteen kids, "Well I like my cigar, but I take it out every once in a while.""
I saw that one - it was live. Groucho asked the guy how he could account for 13 kids. The guy said - Groucho - Because I love my wife. Groucho sez - yeah - well I love my cigar too but I take it out every now and then.
The audience went nuts - for 5 minutes - they tried to get going again and the audience kept cracking up. They never got the show back on track.
Shame that shows wern't taped back then.
I don't know, what happened on that date?
It may have not been televised but Chernobyl way April 23rd 1989.
You can't beat Burgess Meredith, Moonmad!
Having worn glasses for years of Bookworm-dom before Laser Surgery. I can empathise.
Jack.
How 'bout April 4th, 1968 ?

C'mon now, ya'll gots ta guess!
The 1980 Olympic Team USA defeats the USSR Red Army. "Do you believe in miracles? YESSSSSSSSSSS!" I was outside that arena and we were all singing God Bless America and nobody even cared that we would not win the gold til we beat the Finns in the next round (which we did).
Equally good: The 1976 Canada Cup in which Canada had to win three times before it counted. The neighbours called 911 because they thought my roommate and I were being killed.
Finally, the Game 7 between the Colorado Avalanche (I think) and the Florida Panthers, which went into triple overtime. If only the Panthers had scored, I would have made $48,000.
Premiere of Baywatch?
Or, Nolan Ryan blows that no-hitter in the 9th?
9-11.
Andy Kaufman as Latka on "The Dating Game." Also him doing Elvis.
Saddam's statue being toppled and Saddam himself getting captured.
The episode of MASH where Henry Blake got killed.
YESS!! :) The most watched TV series in history; syndicated in one hundred and forty eight countries across the globe and on every continent except Antarctica! :)
Nicolai-York, Prince of Schaumburg-Lippe, born April 23, 1989
April 23rd, 1989
Who can guess it? :)
That was the week that tiananmen square was taken over by students and that was the big TV news. It dominated about everrything else.
My appreciation for Ann augmentented by lack of automotive savvy led me to a frustrated end in this discussion!
Also the last day that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar played as a Laker.
Not many people mentioning 09/11/2001. Which all the other stuff on here isn't even in the same league.
Ann was in "My Little Margie"? I don't think so.
mentioned a couple times already... people don't like to repeat.
Don't forget when American astronauts planted the U.S. flag on Mars!
Oh no, wait.......sorry......I was having a Jocelyn Elders flashback........
