You knew that they were drawn on, you know, and, and that they were, and, and, you know, and get smart would do a lot of cultural red, like they would, you know, parody LBJ or something.

But they were so topical in talking about the Vietnam War.

But it was shows where kids were allowed, but it wasn't Captain Kangaroo.

The one, the only Joanne Worley, an acclaimed actress, comedian, singer, best known as an original cast member of the groundbreaking TV show.

Rowan and Martin's laughing.

She's appeared on too many TV shows to count.

Game shows and comedies and all the rest.

it got its name?

No, but don't tell me, because we'll find out when we come back with Joanne Worley on WGN.

from Rowan and Martin's laughing and countless TV shows and stage work.

But while I care about all that, what I most care about is Joanne Worley's involvement for Actors and Others for Animals since 2007, leading the organization's efforts to help people afford veterinary care, including spay-neuter programs supporting animal welfare.
