Can't seem to find that old clip of Florence Henderson receiving a pie in the face from a clown in a picture on a wall.. Anyone remember this? Where it is from? Does video still exist?
Just so you know, that's Karen Valentine, not Florence Henderson - maybe that's why you were having trouble finding it, you were looking for the wrong female
Scadoo said: Thanks. I see the Florence Henderson clip at the end. Do you know what this show was? Is it all part of Bonkers?
All those clips are taken from Bonkers, all compiled on the same Hurley tape. I could be wrong, but these are the only known female pieings from that show. WAAAAY more men got pied on the program apparently, on a sometimes weekly basis.
Florence was pied on Brady Bunch, Bonkers, and.... I forget the 3rd show? And if by "secret WAMmer," you mean, "One of the few females in Hollywood during the '70s willing to submit to the same pie-in-the-face gag that was standard for most male celebs then," then sure.

Twiggy did the same song 2 years earlier with a pie in the face on the David Essex show.
And don't forget this poor bastard (Dick Shawn??) who has the double indignity of being seltzered, powder puffed & pied by clowns while singing that song..... and had to appear on mary tyler moore's awful variety show. [Edited to change mary tyler moore to all lowercase so the algo doesn't think I'm typing in all caps?!?!]
Was Cybill actually pied more than once? Obviously, there's the Moonlighting scene. And I know she had multiple messy slapstick incidents on both Moonlighting and on her self-titled sitcom in the 90s, but I don't remember her ever actually being pied other than the one time on Moonlighting. (She definitely put a pie in Morgan Fairchild's face on the Cybill sitcom, god love her, but at least in that particular food fight, Cybill herself did not get pied.)
In any event, even if she got pied on the Cybill sitcom, where is her third pieing?
The Mike Douglas Show is the one I forgot, and super rare. Don't think that's out there in any better quality. fyi it aired on Nov 1, 1978 [rerun Mar 14, 1979] if anyone has detective skills beyond youtube and google.
[Unrelated: This new policy where you can't capitalize too many proper names because that's "screaming" is really hurting me as a former writer who values proper grammar!]

Ugh70's variety shows were the bane of my existence as a child. Horrible music, corny jokes, and tons of beautiful women avoiding getting pied while all the men were on the receiving end. Sad times, were these. Sad times indeed.

Couldn't say where the third came from, but here is the Cybill pieing from her show.

Not sure if this was what was being referred to, but Jay Leno caked her (just a little bit!) during a skit on the Tonight Show. It was some wedding skit and Cybill knocked over the cake, and she and Jay then threw bits at each other a bit.
Love you, too
