Do you remember the guests?

I know I was there for 6/10/82, but that was before Lawler/Andy appearance per your videos. Possible it was that night, can't remember the next time after that I went. Wouldn't have gone again so soon after 6/10.

Guests that night were Allen Ginsberg, Arline Thomas (bird lady of Queens, of course), and Bud Greenspan.

Yes! That one I remember very well. Found my tickets, next visits would have been 3/2/83 (Edwin Newman) and 7/3/84 (epguides has no listing - maybe a pretape?). So possibly it was 3/2/83. Long time for him in the collar though.

Unlikely -- Andy's next appearance after 7/28 Lawler was November 17, 1982. No collar. The Kaufman/Lawler match was April 5 '82. So June 10 fits right in. 7/3/84 taping aired 7/20: Huey Lewis, Fred Caposella, Jimmy Aleck.

...also found ticket for test show 1/20/82, I remember that because of meeting Harry Shearer & Paul after taping. Also a bowling fashion show, no close & announcer Howard Taylor, not Bill Wendell. Slight different set too - wood chairs.

You sneaky amazing archivist you! I would never have guessed video of that night existed. At least you know I wasn't making it up!
