	The Ventriloquist Contest
	Dan Horn Presents Wallace & Ladmo - www.danhorn.comTitle: The Ventriloquist ContestDescription: Ladmo and Dan face-off in a duel of dummies. Date: 1982Comments:It was Wallaces idea to pit Ladmo & Spunky (a mock vent act originating early in the shows history) against Orson and me. Wallace wrote the bits and the gag became the theme that ran through that days taping. Pat maintains his wooden persona in true puppet fashion and Ladmo's ventriloquial skills (when Ladmo and Spunkys lines overlap) are summed up by Wall's off-camera comment, Amazing! Spunky's Elephant Man reference at the end of the skit is a call-back to a bit with Craig Dingle just before this sketch. Its quite evident here that my inexperience using the teleprompter spoils what could have been an amusing bit. The thing I find interesting is: how come I stumble several times over linesâ€”but Orson doesnt? I guess he was just better at reading the prompter than me. This bit also shows how Wallace could really be cheekyâ€”he wrote the word zipper into the script no fewer than three times! Just try saying zipper without moving your lips.

	Polly's Movie
	Dan Horn Presents Wallace & Ladmo - www.danhorn.com - Title: Pollys MovieDescription: A winner on the set steals the show from Dan & Polly. Date: 1981Comments:The subject of "occupant restraints" isn't that interesting, so, often I wrote bits where the dialogue really had nothing to do with the message outside of ending with a reminder to wear seat belts. This isnt a particularly well written or performed bit, but I love this clip for the charming little Ladmo Bag winner seated next to me. When she saw Polly on the off camera monitor she had to let everyone know, "Thats her!"

	Shamrock Hold Up!
	Its a skit, its a commercial. Another example of Wallaces zany ways of promoting a sponsors product... Wallace is showing the Shamrock products and a robber shows up to steal the cottage cheese! Will Captain Super save the day??

	Mud Slinging
	Wallace & Ladmo Featured Clip of the Month from the personal video collection of Dan Horn Ladmo vs. Gerald! Dirty laundry guaranteed! Date: 1983 .. I believe one of the reasons for the success of Wallace & Ladmo is that Wallace always did his best to make sure the show was relevant. He was always up-to-date with current happenings, both local and national, and frequently found a way to turn them into material for the show. When some local mudslinging between competitor TV stations and rival weather casters received coverage by columnist Bud Wilkinson in The Arizona Republic newspaper, Wall wasn’t about to be left out; he staged a little mudslinging of his own—with real mud, of course. I don’t remember if Bud Wilkinson ever wrote about the airing of Wallace & Ladmo’s “dirty laundry,” but if he didn’t he missed out on a real “scoop.” Dan Horn 2008
