The Smothers Brothers - "Just Say Yo!" The Yo-Yo Man Instructional Video (1988) [HIGH QUALITY]

[@mitchellsvideovault]

Originally I had this upload set to become public on the first day of 2024, but with the recent news of Tom Smothers's passing, I felt that it was appropriate to release it early as a tribute to the Yo-Yo Man himself. Rest in peace to Tom Smothers. Keep on yo-ing. (1937-2023)

I never saw the connection until the news scrolled by on a ticker on Good Day Tampa Bay the next morning... I promise to watch this, end-to-end, ASAP, in mourning. Wise decision on the early release, BTW.

Well, now that I have actually seen this vid, I got a question: Who played the yellow-suited Yo-Yo Master? (there were no credits)

[@mitchellsvideovault]

He was played by Daniel Volk.

@@mitchellsvideovault whoa. Now that I did a bit of research, I see that Fandom's YoYo Wiki got the year wrong in terms of this video's release! 1984... [pfft]

@@JFD62780 Yes, this tape was likely filmed around the time the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour got revived.
