There is a substantial clip of Sid Caesar, Virginia Martin, Nancy Andrews, and the cast of Little Me doing the scene and song "Deep Down Inside" from The Ed Sullivan Show on various websites.

Thanks -- I'll check that out, though I may have seen it some years ago. But the "I've Got Your Number" was singled out by many as the big showstopper from the show. Perhaps the fact that it was done as a male striptease precluded it from being televised back then? But I don't think he took off much or nearly any clothing, so I don't think it was too risque, although it was supposed to have been very sexy indeed. I'm still hoping it exists and that someone can find it though, as I never thought I'd see the Betty Garrett "South America" or the Gwen Verdon " 'Erbie FItch's Twitch" or "I Feel Merely Marvelous" from "Redhead" until they surfaced.

I saw the '98 production with Michael Park as Lucky. I'm not sure if I remember correctly, but Park may have gotten down to his boxers and socks.

Years later, I was actually seated next to Park at a Monday evening performance of Groundhog Day at the August Wilson. He was there with a number of the actors from Dear Evan Hansen. As three of the young actors sauntered over to their seats, they all said hello to us and addressed me by my name. Park asked me "How in hell do you know all these kids?" I told him "It's a long story, and they are not exactly kids." To which Park replied, "Don't tell me you're the guy who invited them to his apartment for lunch, told them all these stories about your baseball team, and got them all drunk." "Not exactly" was my answer. "That was my friend and his wife, but I was there too and the baseball stories were mine. Actually he invited one of the guys and his girlfriend but told them it was OK to bring a couple of friends, who ended up being the other two. I swear none of them had more than 2 beers." The one guy's girlfriend (I believe) had a glass of white wine.

My friend's wife actually had a catered lunch for all of us. The two of them are well known patrons of the arts and generous supporters of York Theatre, Irish Rep, and possibly other off-Broadway theatres.
