[The 90’s raw: Milly’s Orchid Show static camera #1]
Raw footage for the award-winning series The 90’s. A recording of a live performance of “Milly’s Orchid Show,” a variety show at the Park West in Chicago, starring Brigid Murphy. Murphy emcee’s the show in the character of Southern Belle Milly Mae Smithy for this live comedy / variety show. This footage was shot with a static camera. Performers/performances include: House-O-Matic, a teenage dance group; Lisa Kotin, who performs an instructional parody, “Spring Training: Miss America”; a young teenage boy who sings a provocative R & B song, during which he strips off his shirt; comedian Emo Philips performs his typically eccentric stand-up act; the Texas Rubies, a female duo, perform a comedic rap, and some country songs; and a performance by musician Jim Lauderdale. [This tape contains the static version of more shaky / close-up footage on another tape.]

The Jerry Lewis Show
This tape contains three segments featuring a painfully unfunny Jerry Lewis impersonator. The first segment is the Lewis impersonator with a band. “Lewis†does some shtick, but doesn’t sing. The second segment is clips from what seems to be a fake talk show. The talk show may be real, but the host is really hamming it up with “Lewis”, giving the show the appearance of fakery. The final clip appears to be the impersonator doing some Lewis shtick at a comedy club. “Lewis” pretends to sing along with an opera recording. This point cannot be stressed enough: this Jerry Lewis impersonator is not funny!
