Uncle Floyd interview episode up now on YouTube

I've been asked to make entire episodes of the show available online, but haven't as of yet for a number of reasons, including time, bandwidth, and arbitrary enforcement of copyright claims and "adult" content on sites like YouTube. In any case, I decided that the Rudy Ray Moore episode shouldn't be alone up there, so I've now put up the entirety (minus my opening intro) of the Uncle Floyd Show cast interview that took place in the dressing room of the very-much-missed Bottom Line in Manhattan way back in 1997. I loved hanging out with these gents back then, and am very happy to say that Floyd Vivino, Artie Delmar, and Michael T. Wright are still in the game today, entertaining folks in various ways around the NJ/NY area (and beyond!). Mugsy died in 2005, but is well remembered by fans of the Floyd show for his great musical parodies, cartoons, and generally bugging Floyd from off-camera (see the Hour Magazine segment contained in this episode). This is an episode I enjoy revisiting, so I'm glad to share it with folks beyond NYC via this thing called the Net.

Not feeling their Fab-best: the Beatles meet Peter Sellers

And on the trail of celebs visiting other celebs in their place of business, here we have Peter Sellers visiting the Beatles during the recording of their album “Get Back" which, of course, wound up being Let It Be. It’s not an unfriendly meeting, but it’s not exactly chummy. John cracks wise about drugs as Sellers is leaving (which is where the damned clips begins). Then there’s an amazing bit of John looking comatose. This is not the happy Dr.-Winston-O’Boogie-meets-Merkin-Muffley clip you thought it was gonna be:



Since that was such a sort of a downer, here are the Beatles and Sellers in happier times, as he presents them with a music award:



And maybe this one for good measure:



And, finally, because I never tire of this movie, but had never, ever seen the original trailer with Peter and Ringo contributing verbal nonsense:



These posters deserve my thanks, as does friend and Funhouse webmaster Arnold for pointing me to the “Get Back” encounter.
