Who Asked for It? on Letterman, May 4, 1982

Installment #2 of a decades-long segment, featuring actress and game show panelist Peggy Cass.
This may be the first time Calvert DeForest was identified with his full-name character, "Larry 'Bud' Melman."

Peggy Cass explained the art of bunting better than anyone.

DeForest as Melman. Possibly as close to human perfection as our species will ever get.

[@erniebuchinski3614]

I agree wholeheartedly. Since Calvert's passing fifteen years ago I believe that evolution has begun to reverse itself, as the pinnacle had clearly been reached. RIP, Larry Bud.

@@erniebuchinski3614 You speak the truth. Melman is truth!

Close your eyes and listen to Peggy...almost sounds like Rachel Dratch.

How did someone even come up with the idea to have Peggy Cass demonstrate how to bunt?

[@PittsburghMarky]

wecontrolthevideo How did someone at CBS get the idea to run a rerun of Alice and McCloud and call it a movie?

Good lord; hard to judge whether Peggy was less entertaining here, or throughout the whole of the 50s. Tough call
