...biblical story. The premise of the movie is that a second baby, Herschel, was set adrift on the Nile at the same time as Moses. Never mind the hieroglyphic plot; just consider a cast that includes John Houseman, Madeline Kahn, John Ritter, Laraine Newman, James Coco, Jack Gilford, Dom DeLuise and Jack Albertson, along with Richard Pryor in a robes-and-rigamarole cameo as the pharaoh who puts Herschel down.

For years the network had taken care to soothe Carson, and Senior Vice President Dave Tebet provided him with champagne, flowers, limousines and all the other things a supercharged ego needs. Tebet left in the reshuffle after Silverman took over, and the Dom Perignon was forgotten. Carson was further annoyed when the new president, in an appearance on his anniversary show, was tongue-tied on-camera.
