                                                  LEISURE SUITS CAUSE CANCER

I bet that caught your attention.

This piece goes along with my series of, YOU KNOW YOU’RE GETTING OLD WHEN, because this statement comes from a TV show from a while ago which I found to be hilarious. The show began as Fernwood Tonight and morphed into America Tonight.

The host was played by Martin Mull. His presentation mocks the job of host. The band was Happy Klien and the Mirth Makers. Happy Klien exudes the excitement of a brick.

That’s the atmosphere which made this program so great. It was mocking late night shows by comically presenting a show which appeared to be serious.

In the skit involving the leisure suits, a ‘scientist’, an obvious huckster, said he found that leisure suits caused cancer. He had with him rats dressed in little leisure suits.

They don’t make them like that anymore.

If they did, there would probably be a leisure suit society, if one exists, on the phone to a lawyer.
