Michael Chellel, who played the flasher in the NBC comedy special Just for Laughs, has a new act in Hollywood.

Mary herself is usually slack-jawed with bafflement-about her sister, who has fallen in with the local massage-parlor king; her grandfather, "the Fernwood Flasher"; and most of all by her stolid and truly enigmatic husband Tom.
