Balderdash! : Vol.2 -- A Few Gems


With The Stars:


Mary Tyler Moore,


Dick Van Dyke,


Doris Day,


John Denver,


and Rich Little!





Recorded at Case de Burgener's, 1/11/09, in front of a live studio audience.

Producer's Note: Game 2 went a little slower than 1 due to the untimely absence of special guest star, from Tv's Fantasy Island,

Herve Villachaize.





What he was doing that evening remains a mystery even now; although some of the cast has worked up a few possibilities. That's for another time.. We at W.A.Y. Inc strive to produce high quality entertainment, but when little bastard midgets go on "dates" without canceling a prior engagement, well, there isn't much we can do about it...except insult them mercilessly and watch badly written variety shows from the 70's afterwards.. Ahem.. Excuse us. The censors apparently took the night off too. Pity.
