In 1980, NBC president Fred Silverman signed Japan’s top recording stars Pink Lady to host a prime-time variety hour, convinced they were the next big thing. Only then did he discover that Pink Lady didn’t understand a word of English-they had memorized every word they spoke on their U.S. tour. Enter stand-up comic Jeff Altman just for laughs; major music acts Roy Orbison, Blondie, Teddy Pendergrass, Alice Cooper, and Cheap Trick to pick up the pace, the scantily-clad Peacock Dancers and an onstage hot tub for spice, and NBC had the making of a real broadcasting disaster which premiered on March 1, 1980-the last, worst variety series!
