...Ready For Prime Time Players," have received offers for movie or situation-comedy roles. The standout comedian, Chevy Chase, is considered the heir-apparent to Johnny Carson ("The Tonight Show"). And "Saturday Night" has done all this at a fraction of the cost of a six million dollar woman...
...walls of stadium lavoratories, and with fruit canning equipment; at one match, angered by the disparaging remarks of fans who questioned his sportsmanship, he decided to inflict terror on his audience by perpetrating random violence, and deliberately crippled a sixty-four year-old veteran in a four-dollar seat.
