I wonder that he didn't crack up more with Burnett and Conway and Vicki Lawrence around him all the time. I had heard that George Lucas ordered the Holiday Special pulled so it would never be shown again. Then again, I heard much the same about <em>Howard the Duck</em>. I've not seen either one in reruns for a very long time (and I've never seen the Holday Special in reruns, ever). The Star Wars Christmas Album can still be found in digital format if yuo're willing to Google around a bit. No, I don't think he was faking it.

Either way, he was hilarious. That damned "Star Wars Holiday Special"...you know, I saw it when it or originally aired, the one time only. I would only have been ten or eleven at the time and I was as huge a Star Wars fan as you could find, but even back then, I realized something was desperately, terribly, horribly WRONG with this thing. Other than a few tiny clips and stills I've not seen it since. There's a part of me that wants to, and another part that feels like it'd just be too painful.
