Della Reese

I think it was more. But I find it strange all these famous people just showed up(with the exception of George Foreman) in Fred's Sanford's living room in the junkyard ghetto. LOL

yeah, I noticed that too. If I was a celebrity I would be afraid to go to his house.

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.
