"Dr. Johnny Fever" hits the big seven-oh today!

:birthday:

:birthday: I love this man - I wrote him a letter a couple of years ago and he sent me an autographed picture, written out to me and everything. Also loved his gigs on The Bob Newhart Show and Head of the Class. :cool: :D

I am burning up in here, its time for this city to get down


He and Venus had the best lines



Happy birthday to you Howard Hessman.

Like these gems from "Turkeys Away":

Dr. Johnny Fever: Carlson? I don't know. You should have been here for the big wig promotion.
Venus Flytrap: What happened?
Dr. Johnny Fever: Well, naturally, it didn't work, and we ended up with a warehouse full of wigs. Carlson, he couldn't figure out how to get rid of 'em until the Guatemalan earthquake.
Venus Flytrap: Say What?
Dr. Johnny Fever: Well, the Red Cross called out for, you know, blankets, clothes, anything. So Carlson, out of the goodness of his heart, shipped these destitute earthquake victims in Guatemala three thousand blonde stretch wigs. You know, I still have this picture in my mind of quake victims stumbling through the rubble - all looking like Dolly Parton.

Dr. Johnny Fever: [after Les has given his qv "Hindenberg"-esque commentary on the arrival of the turkeys] Thanks for that on-the-spot report, Les. For those of you who've just tuned in, the Pinedale Shopping Mall has just been bombed with live turkeys. Film at eleven.

Happy 70th birthday Howard Hesseman!
