![]() ![]() A lot of weird stuff occurred in the ’70s. And you can read an excellent behind the scenes account of that Tonight Show appearance here. Click here to see what I’m talking about. An all out assault that puts Carson face down on his desk and Pryor on his back on the couch is hilarious! And to their credit, both victims were laughing through the whole bit. But Hull (and Emu) understood the comedy is not in going easy. He was told, by the production staff, to go easy on Johnny and to not go after Richard Pryor, who was also a guest on the show. I just saw, and this is what prompted me to write on this topic, Rod Hull and Emu’s appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson from 1983. Hull was able to keep getting laughs from that one joke into the 1980s. That’s where I first saw Hull and his maniac bird. He was a regular on the Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show. In 1974, Hull took this act to Saturday morning kids’ programming in America. If those who were attacked reacted badly, Hull might have found himself in court or with a broken arm, which actor/comedian Billy Connolly did seriously threaten to do once and, thus, avoided being attacked. Including those who were on the receiving end of the attack. Emu’s attacks were startling and looked quite violent while, Hull, acting as a kind of wildlife expert, would appear to be futilely attempting to control the angry bird.Īnd it worked. Often times, Hull, Emu, and the victim would end up in a heap on the floor. I mean that bird would really go after people. Emu would savagely attack people, creating what has been called a kind of gleeful havoc. The feathered friend was a puppet made to look as though Hull was carrying it, while he operated its neck and head.Įmu had a foul (pun!) temper and it didn’t take much to set him off. Emus are large flightless birds found in Australia and are quite similar to ostriches. He began working with an unusual looking bird that was simply called Emu. ![]() In 1970, he began co-hosting a children’s show and soon after came his “partner” in comedy – Emu. He soon made his way to performing characters on camera and became popular with fans. He was a comedian from England who, in the early ’60s, started working as a lighting technician in Australian television production. There was another person who gained world fame in that weird decade by using his one joke that consisted of essentially physically assaulting people. Johnson was a character played by Bill Sulga and he made a career out of telling people they didn’t have to call him Johnson. It was also possible for a comedian to make a good living on just one joke. (Of course, you know bio-rhythms and astrology are just a bunch of nonsense, right?) You could track your bio-rhythms, while you read your daily horoscopes, which were so very important in the ’70s. “Sit on it!” “Kiss my grits!” “Up your nose with a rubber hose!” “Dyn-O-Mite!” “Nanoo nanoo!” “Who loves you, baby?” Everyone except Telly Savales, that is.Īnd there were all those catch phrases pulled from popular television series. Wide lapels, bell bottoms, platform shoes, ponchos, and everyone seemed to have long hair. Even the most straight-laced looks just seemed slightly askew. Well, I suppose every decade has its weirdness, but the ’70s definitely had its own special vibe. ![]() Does NOT SHIP TO: Poland, Chile, Philippines, Mexico, Spain, Brazil, Croatia, Some of Asia, South Africa and some other countries.
