Views: 1919

Here is the longer, minute-long version of the Chicago Heart Association public service annoucement featuring Carleton the Mime. I think it's kind of ironic that the mime's name is very similar to a popular brand of cigarettes. ;-)

With no clapboard segments, we can only guess that this was Break #6 (from "Show #5") - although on these master tapes sometimes they didn't save all of the breaks, so this could be Break #7 or Break #8 for all we know. This one features a classic - Mad Man Sven (ab)Used Cars. This sketch was seen at one point duri...
