...Anne Worley, 30, a farmer's daughter from Lowell, Ind., is a former cover girl-on the back of Mad magazine. She served as a standby for Carol Channing in Hello, Dolly! in 1964, became a favorite on the talk-show circuit with her mugging antics and raucous, snorting laugh. A tall, buxom brunette, she will cry, "When you're down and out, lift up your head and shout: I'm down...
...party atmosphere that pervades the set, new ideas are constantly added as the show moves from printed script to video tape. Jokes and ideas for skits are solicited from the nonwriting staff and anyone else who happens by. The twelve-year-old daughter of a production consultant, for example, specializes in graffiti (her latest contribution: LASSIE KILLS CHICKENS).

...opening episode, for example, was about a gubernatorial candidate who was being blackmailed by a gang that had incriminating pictures of his teenage daughter. What makes this plot different from the same plot that we've seen a zillion times before, what makes it Turned On Now stuff, is the way the cut-throats got the pictures. You see what the sneaky petes did is...is...they gave her L.S.D.! And then, while she was "under L.S.D."--and putty in their hands, needless to say--one of the blackguards made love to her and took pictures...
