I got the idea for this from a friend of mine who showed me this…

And I thought: Hmmm!!! I have one to add to that…

Stephen Colbert Totally Looks Like Glenn Miller. Ya think? Maybe? Kinda sorta? Heh!

It’s easy. Really. Start with watching one clip and you’ll blow hours watching other related clips! Here’s what happened to me just recently.

A friend of mine sent me a link to a Muppets Show performance of Paul Williams singing “Old Fashioned Love Song,” with some of the Muppets (two of which look like him to achieve that three part harmony. Khee!). Well, I went along from there and watched another Muppets performance with Rita Mareno singing “Fever” and Animal on the drums…

Then it snowballed from there and I watched this really kewl clip of the legendary drummer Buddy Rich battling it out with Animal! (Of course this is in Italian, I think. ROFL)

Then I find more Buddy Rich, here on the Tonight Show with Ed Shaugnessy…

Comical drumming with Jerry Lewis…

And then…man you can’t get any better than this. Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich!

And then all this drumming reminded me of one of my favorite Glenn Miller clips from the movie “Orchestra Wives.”

With a rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat on the drums! Hey! Turn the beat around….

The very sexy, very sultry Eartha Kitt has passed away at the age of 81. She was Catwoman on Batman in the ’60’s after Julie Newmar orginated the role and of course, being it’s the holidays you’ve probably heard her original “Santa Baby” on the radio.

Here’s the synopsis from Hal Erickson of All Movie Guide:   

One of the most brilliant aspects of Culp’s script is the fact that he essentially writes his own character right out of the episode and let’s Cosby and Kitt and the other performers do their thing. Every so often we see what Kelly’s up to and Kelly comes in in the second half of the episode but Cosby and Kitt’s performances dominate, and as Erickson points out, they’re powerhouse. An all around excellent episode.
