I sure hope that this will be a great opportunity for everyone to see
some of "Don's Scenes" from his productions of his classic hits "Tales
From Kutcharitaville". You know that Rickles and Johnny Carson together
produced those comedy hits about their friend "Mr. Kutchie Pelaez" and
their wild and crazy exploits of Kutchie's Key West and The World of Key
Lime Pies from the perspective of (Johnny Carson, Don Rickles, Kutchie
Pelaez and Steve Martins Eyes!) What a Hoot Those Classic Hits Surely
Were. Don't miss them, be sure to tune-in next month. We Laughed Until
We Cried Watching Those Funny Movies. "The Tales From Kutcharitaville", I
Think That They May Still Be Available In A Boxed Set. Maybe Try Looking On Amazon.
