It was the Spring of 1980. Disco was dead. Variety shows were dying. What better time for NBC to launch Pink Lady... and Jeff, a variety show starring two average-looking Japanese pop stars who sang disco songs phonetically, and the mediocre stand-up who loved them?

“Episode #1”
Posted Jan 31 2010 by Michael A. Novelli

“Most of you have never heard of this show, and with good reason. They only made six episodes, of which only five ever aired, and despite the involvement of the legendary Sid and Marty Krofft, and the fact that it gave ensemble member Jim Varney his big break, there is not one human being in existence who puts this show on their résumé.”

“Episode #2”
Posted Feb 17 2010 by Michael A. Novelli

“So join me once again as I devote more thought to this show than anyone in history.”

“Episode #3”
Posted Feb 23 2010 by Michael A. Novelli

“Jeff compliments them on being so talented, which leads to, you guessed it, Mie sucking up and Kei being a bitch. Still, her English has improved tremendously since last week. She may actually know what she’s saying now. Jury’s still out on the other one, though.”

“Episode #4”
Posted Mar 7 2010 by Michael A. Novelli

“This week’s guests are Florence Henderson, Lorne Greene, Boomer the Dog, another music video by Blondie, and Sid Caesar! Why yes, this was the episode where they just gave up. Why do you ask?”

“Episode #5”
Posted Mar 16 2010 by Michael A. Novelli

“Honestly, I think Jeff Altman might have been the only person left who still thought this show was a good idea.”

“The Lost Episode”
Posted Mar 21 2010 by Michael A. Novelli

“We’re lucky the show didn’t get a second season, or else we might have had to see Charlotte Rae pistol-whip an infant, or Red Skelton sodomize a leprechaun with a chainsaw.”

An Interview with Rowby Goren, Writer for Pink Lady ...and Jeff
Posted Jul 12 2011 by Michael A. Novelli

“You may or may not be aware of this, but I’ve talked a lot of shit about Pink Lady ...and Jeff. So much so, that one of the writers felt the need to set the record straight. So I now get the chance to pick the mind of someone who was a writer for Laugh-In, directed a movie starring a current U.S. Senator, wrote alongside Sid Caesar, and won an Emmy for writing jokes on Hollywood Squares.”
