- AKA "Sixty Minutes to Kill." Thanks, RUclips (and Perry Amberson) for giving me back this piece of my youth! I still have an audio cassette I recorded of this show in 1977. Then, I was just a Martin Mull fan, but now I like Flo & Eddie, too!
RIP: My Friend Martin Mull, You Will Indeed Be Missed!
RIP Martin The most under appreciated talent ever!
Hearing about the passing of Martin Mull I started looking at his videos and what a fabulous rabbit hole I fell into! What an incredibly talented man he was. I hope he had as much fun as he made us feel, from the first time I saw him on Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman on....
In the late 1970s, I was a student at Drew University. Imagine everyone's shock when Flo and Eddie waltzed into the cafeteria one lunchtime. They did a mini concert, including "Kama Sutra Time." In the cafeteria. At a school with a seminary. It was the most surreal experience of my life. Of course the room went wild!
Howie Kaylan liked something I said on Facebook once. I squealed like a little girl.
I was there! About the funniest night of my life. I went for Mull but Flo & Eddie stole the show with their Joni Mitchell -Led Zeppelin medley. I’ve been looking for this for years. Holy crap, that’s me at 9:05 standing up behind Wolfman, er, Mailman Jack.
Haha! That’s SO cool!
Blue shirt and white pants? WoW! Is this 1976? The clothes styles looks like it IS! I remember watching Fernwood 2-Nite back in the day in Vancouver right across from Robson Park on Carolina st.! I had just bought a new 20" Toshiba TV to watch the 1976 Canada Cup!
That's so cool
So Cool . The Turtles.:) QC
I attended a Soundstage downbeat jazz show in Chicago in 1976 and remember they taped *all afternoon* and there were several wonderful songs that didn't make it on the show. So my question is -- do you recall anything from that day that isn't in this broadcast? I'd love to hear any anecdotes. This is one of my very favorite shows and that's amazing that you were there.
RIP Martin Mull. He was hilarious. I never saw this special until now. Also a big fan of Flo & Eddie AKA The Turtles. Hang in there, Howard...I'm not sure how long he's got.
I saw this (only once) on PBS Channel 12 (WYES) out of New Orleans as a kid and have sarched for it ever since! Couldn't remember the name of the show, only that it featured Flo & Eddie! I totally forgot that it was my introduction to Martin Mull, too! For years I tried to recall where I had seen the Sweet Steaks" Lucky Charms parody. In my mind, and perhaps it was later edited out, but I'd remember a huge "SPLAT!" sound (that sounded more like a shart) when the kid flattened the mascot. Thanks so much for posting such a a great memory of youth, and such a clear copy, too! RIP Martin, you were loved and adored!
I could not believe Greg Hawkes later with the CARS was on Sax. Fantastic. BTW I am a Huge Flo and Eddie fan!!
Me too.
@@tomcooley3778 Coo!
Thanks, l wasn't if that was Greg Hawkes it sure looks like him!
Isn't there at least one Cars song in which he plays sax? I seem to recall one.
The Turtles story is really an important lesson.for show business in your future.
God, I miss the 70s.
It was fun from what I can remember. Hey ya got any acid?
"She was outta sight but there was no way to tell her." One of my all-time favorite Martin Mull lines.
OMG...Share this a Jillion times..It's Christmas eve 2020. Boy do we ever need this!
My first Flo & Eddie experience was when they opened for David Ziggy Stardust Bowie at Winterland (San Francisco) in 1972. It was a Halloween weekend concert, and Bowie was not well known then. I was there to see Flo & Eddie - I had seen them with The Mothers before. By the time I left, part way through Bowie's show there were maybe 200 people there - in a hall that holds many thousands. He was pissed off!
Wow! This is a side of Martin Mull I've never seen before! Thanks for sharing this!
Still holds up. Martin is so dynamic, and Flo and Eddie's Elenore performance was perfect. Loved the cereal ad too, what the hell.
OMG thanks for this...great songs by Martin Mull. RIP.
I loved going to Bun 'N Run when I was a kid. Sometimes Happy Kyne would be there, at the the register or working the grill. RIP, Martin. You were wonderful and one of a kind.
PBS has certainly changed in 45 years
So has the music business.
@@ChrisMaxfieldActs the American studio audience has undergone some big changes as well.
weird and wonderful! Its strange that Eddie was waxing nostalgic for the sixties while in the 70's lol but he's right the music changed so much since his days as the lead singer of the Turtles.
"It's a fine line between Joni and Yoko Ono." No truer words...
Flo and Eddie, knew them from Zappa, but also always knew that those were the guys of the Turtles.
Also backup vocals for Marc Bolan and T Rex.
@@williamwoody7607 yes.
Sad news, his passing. I actually played (trombone) behind him, in Harrah's Tahoe orchestra in maybe the early '80s. Martin was opening act for some headliner. He had the same homey little set around him on stage, a small table w/ a shaded lamp, and an easy chair, like he was at home in his study. On the table were a few magazines. Ted Kennedy was pondering running for President in those days, so I brought in an old issue of Reader's Digest with a cover story about the Chappaquiddick incident. A few minutes before curtain up I handed the magazine to Martin, who was tuning his guitar, and asked him if he'd heard what Kennedy had responded when asked if he would seek the nomination. He hadn't heard. "I'll drive off that bridge when I come to it." Martin chuckled warmly, thanked me, and placed the Digest on his little table. He was a sweet guy.
Watched this so many times back then. Thanks for putting it on. Wow what great memories!!!
This is absolutely perfect !
I was a Flo and Eddie fan after hearing Billy the Mountain by the Mothers. I only knew Martin Mull as a comedian and did not discover his music until recently!
Thank you, Martin, for the music, myrth, and magic.
Rest in Peace...
It would be awesome if tape of the stereo simulcast could be synced to this
This is a real gem here!
Howard and Mark always brought it
How did I not know Martin Mull played guitar? This is awesome
He's multi-talented: fine artist/illustrator, singer/songwriter/guitarist, television writer, and actor.

Martin Mull Live at the Roxy really impressed me i gotta look for it here on RUclips.
Happy Kine for President '24...If he's still around. 😵💫
The algos ignored my repeated Fernwood Tonight data and never showed me this. I've never seen it. Found it by clicking on Flo & Eddie interviewing Zappa.
Martin Mull's IMDB credits begin in 1976 as well, with 49 episodes of Mary Hartman Mary Hartman. RIP Martin Mull
"Licks Off Of Records" with a "Turn On Your Lovelight" horn backing?!? nice!!
Greg Hawkes later joined the Cars
I’ve never seen Martin Mull play guitar before!
In the early '70s I saw him at the school I attended. He played guitar as part of his "Living Room" Tour. The second act was Commander Cody (RIP). Mull played along with the band.
I think Howard Kaylan was the best pure vocalist of bands in the 60s. If you watch videos of the Turtles on the Ed Sullivan show there was no lip syncing, it was live vocals, and he was incredible!
Martin Mull and His Talking Furniture
I think the funniest thing I have ever heard was by Martin Mull interviewed by Norm McDonald about 10 years ago. MM told a joke so utterly scabrous I nearly fell on the floor laughing.
Bravo! Bravo!😃
No way. Greg Hawkes from the Cars on saxophone.
Greg Hawkes on sax before The Cars. 😎
Hey Mart -o!I I finally sold that couch you left in my yard. I had no idea you were leaving.I hope that creator will let you rest in peace for christs sake.You were right that chick Marylin wasn't the marrying kind.We miss you and your talent down here!
I knew he did airbrush paintings, but I missed the music thing.
So I'm watching this movie called Late Night with the Devil and at the end I hear this old song that caught my ear. So since it's 2024 and I have a cell phone I do what any modern American would, I Shazam it. The song was Keep it Warm by Flo and Eddie. So you can imagine the rabbit hole I've found myself in! And what makes this whole thing even stranger than it already is, as I'm Googling all these names I find out that Martin Mull "was" an American comic actor? Why am I just finding this out on July 13? But wow, I've already invested about 3 hours finding out that MM passed and The Turtles are also Flo and Eddie, and Greg Hawkes from the Cars played with MM, next I'm gonna watch a documentary about F & E. Also, it's nice to go through a comment section that is full of trolls, smart ass kids, or some other degenerate, everyone here seems pretty cool! Like a gathering of kindred spirits or something. Living in the time that we are it's nice to escape for awhile!
Sorta late night postal comedians...Cliff Claven!
Alot going on behind the scenes at this time ....read Howard Kaylan's book (pgs 201-202). Makes intro at 39:59 more ironic.
Flo & Eddies Moving Targets lp
LOL ,he leaves us with a tune we can,t remember what the song was frame 23:23 to 25:02 he sings orderve .what the hell is the name of that song he sings lol ANYBODY? HELP . REST IN PEACE MARTIN MULL
I think it's called "Ah France," it's on the Live in Living room LP. It may be called "hors D'ovre" tho. i forget
@@PeterChoyce i will look ,thank you so much
Martin Mull, king of false modesty...
Flo and Eddy did weirdly excellent backup vocals for T Rex.
Martin Mull was not a great musician but he was an excellent entertainer. Flo and Eddie were great musicians and entertainers. This vid is most entertaining.
Martin Mull was a good guitar player and singer, and an excellent songwriter and wordsmith.
this. some love for fernwood tonite also.
@@philsaggitariusa3738 And the later America Tonite.
@@philsaggitariusa3738 It was SO funny, and Gerry made a good straight-man for MM!
Not a great musician?
I have searched FOR YEARS for the fake cereal commercial that appears at the beginning of this show.
Somehow in the weird world of the internet, I found it today by accident.
I thought it had to be from early SNL, but I was floored to find it here when I went poking around for a little fun time with Flo and Eddie.
My memory of it was a bit off on some of the details, but I remembered the Troll of the Bowl and the "sugar-coated, sugar fortified little bits of sugar" line. The entire show surrounding the cereal commercial had dissolved in my memory, but I clearly remembered the kid flattening the troll on the breakfast table. Mystery solved, thanks to Flo & Eddie!
The SNL one was for "Quarry".
Do the Nothing!
Who's the fellow on the Travis Bean guitar?
What’s that second funky song?
Good question. It's dance track "Do the Dog" from DAYS OF WINE AND NEUROSES, and the mailman outfit supports that.
Honest to God Martin, where do you get those crazy ideas?
This is great. Only saw Flo & Eddie once at My Father's Place in Roslyn NY. They were doing a Who theme with covers... ET Limbo... And a bunch of their amazing music. One of the top concerts I ever went to. Better than Zappa, and I'm a big Zappa fan.
the tragically hip are excused
It's Barth Gimble
And not his twin brother, Garth.
@@ChrisMaxfieldActs If memory serves,Garth had passed by the time Barth fled to Ohio to avoid charges of payola and assaulting a cheerleader.
@@jimcampbell8061 Yes, Garth was impaled on an aluminum Christmas tree.
@@ChrisMaxfieldActs My favorite was Tom Waits..The line re the Bun and Run as "$1.98 for all you can stand" I still use today for some places.
Close, but that's ACTUALLY his twin bro Garth!!! :P
before Tim and Eric 23:03
Thanks. Loved it. Who was Wolfman Jack?
Are you (like me) an old Boomer being sarcastic or are you younger and asking seriously? Just curious.
@@haroldkrishna4116 Yes, I'm an old fart :) I never saw this show but have now watched all the YT videos. I think I was probably asking who was playing the part of Wolfman Jack. Happy Holidays, Harold.
You too!@@SoItGoesCAL34
Ending credits say Joel Corey
I heard Mull plays a guitar but didn't know he's a picker
#snort
Is that Coke on his stash.
I think it's just a blond mustache, but it was 1976. so anything is possible.
Thank you for everything Chris! Here’s something for you: ruclips.net/video/4MspluzIpjU/видео.html
I heard that Martin Mull plugged into any socket. Could be wrong.
He joked about that sexual behavior in his music often enough. Not just satire? Who knows? And honestly, who cares?
