". . .JoAnne Worley, Flip Wilson (”Here come de judge!”) Judy Carne, the woman who played the phone operator. . ."

That was Sammy Davis, Jr., not Flip Wilson, playing the judge, and Lily Tomlin played the operator.

Yep, Flip was usually in drag and Judy Carne was the British girl who Burt Reynolds used to beat-up every so often.

The Black bikini dancer (Theresa Graves?) went on to her own series, Get Christie Love then quit Hollywood to become a minister.

[Judith Anne]

The Judy Carne/Lily Tomlin error was originally mine. Don’t know why I got the names mixed up, old age I guess. I didn’t ever watch the re-runs, just my memory from the original shows...

Anyway, I thought Judy Carne was a lot prettier than Lily Tomlin, but Lily was funny, especially with Edith Ann (”And that’s the TRUTH!”) and her other characters.

I remember reading something at the time that pointed out that the “dumb blonde” Goldie Hawn, was actually a really bright person.
