His name was Jonathan Harris, and he was Emile Bonet in the episode where the two con men screwed Lamont with the commode.

Nope. She was *mentioned* in the escort service ep., however. Fred got the assigned to go to her house, but it was only to walk her dog.

The 3 degrees were famous when they starred on the show. :)

Those famous people were good friends of Redd Foxx. I'm glad they starred on his show.

That was Lillian Randolph who was probably best known for her role as Madame Queen on The Amos N' Andy Show. Her sister was Amanda Randolph who played Kingfish's Mother-In-Law, Ramona Smith.
