Here’s a promotional spot for The Ken Berry “Wow” Show (aka Ken Berry’s Wow Show, aka Wow!), an hour-long variety series that aired on ABC for five weeks during the summer of 1972. In addition to Berry, the series featured Steve Martin, Cheryl Ladd, Teri Garr, among others.
From the producers of “THE SONNY & CHER COMEDY HOUR”. The one routine I remember best from the show was the one where Ken tried to give “Mr. Steve Watson” {Steve Martin} an award for “The Best Chase of the Week”. Naturally, Steve would have nothing to do with it, and ran off stage, with Ken following him, leading into a filmed slapstick chase sequence.
That voice belonged to Jay Stewart, Monty Hall’s longtime announcer on the original LET’S MAKE A DEAL, and on SALE OF THE CENTURY, hosted in the 1980s by Canadian-born Jim Perry. Stewart’s closing tag line quoted “Sale Of The Century is a Red Grundy Production!”
OOPS! Reg Grundy Production, to be exact.
