BARRY CRYER , KENNY EVERETT
If there is one thing that can be said about Kenny Everett , I am sure you have said it already, so let's not get into that. But why not give the kid another chance? Tonight's show is great -you'll love it. There are lots of jokes, pretty girls, star guests, good music. You will really be entertained, and if you're not-big deal. It's only half-an-hour of your life, and it's cheaper than going out.
