Title: TTTT's interesting impostors
Post by: Jay Temple on July 05, 2005, 02:17:07 PM

Zach's post on today's TTTT90 got me to thinking:  What interesting impostors have you seen?  The Outrageous Moments series includes the one where Kitty Carlisle's son and Joe Garagiola's son are the impostors.  From the original broadcasts, I remember:

• One central character was an Air Force One pilot for Jimmy Carter, and his name was Jimmy Carter.  So were both impostors'.
• I remember a blind forest ranger (or something like it) with a unisex name.  His wife was one of the impostors.
• I remember a teenager (or maybe preteen) whose school band made an interesting trip of some sort.  His brother was one of the impostors.

Mid 70's Moore TTTT:  Soupy Sales dressed in drag to be a female imposter.  I don't know how many people he fooled (if any) nor who the real person was, I just remembered him pulling off his wig when asked who he really was.

Then we should also count the Xmas Day TTTT90 ep (which should be coming up in a few weeks), where Rip Taylor and Christopher Hewitt were imposters for Jim Brennan, who ran a Santa Claus telephone answering service.

Doug --  and the countdown to 1300 continues

Talk about coincidence... a few weeks ago while the jury was deciding Michael Jackson's fate, there was an episode of TTTT with three people claiming to be a former priest who left the priesthood to marry a nun (#1 was real).  One of the imposters did look familiar and sure enough, I knew why!

     HOST: Number 2 what is your name and what do you do?

     #2.  My name is Tom Messearu and I am an entertainment lawyer.

     
     Back in 1990, Tom had salt & pepper (mostly pepper) hair of NORMAL length.
