Oh wow, thanks so much moljul. I'll definitely check it out next time i'm in the city! Do you know if they have anything from SNL?...perhaps the infamous Making Love Alone performance?

Well I haven't been there for quite some time but I don't believe they have the SNL hosting.

I have Once Upon A Mattress. It's definately worth seeing if you get the chance.

When I plugged Bernadette's name into the museum's data base 29 entries came up. As Moljul said one was Once Upon a Mattress and several Oscar shows, PBS programs. I think there was a SNL entry but I didn't look at that one. In addition to the one mentioned below & Name that Tune I watched a 60 Minutes segment on Stephen Sondheim that she was briefly in & a program on Sondheim done by the Museum itself -- it had a great (and long) montage clip at the beginning with a discusion with Sondheim after.

i remember seeing at least 2 Tonight Show entries -- i think one where Kermit the Frog was host & another from about 1992, shortly before Johnny Carson retired. I watched that one & it was pretty good. She belted out "Come Rain or Come Shine" in an interesting/wonderful arrangement -- I think one could see every molar in her mouth! The second song, she said, was the first one she ever sang on the Tonight Show -- she said that Carson was her first network appearance. Not sure of the title but it was something like "What Do I Do."

She & Johnny had an interesting chat. He asked her what it was about women and clothes & shoes. She promptly took off her shoe and placed it on his desk while they talked. She got in a funny comment about the shoes/boots he was wearing -- she said that his shoes were coming back into style. She also said that she had a place in LA and one in NY. It got a little muddled here but she said she had so many clothes that she needed a second place here to put them so she stored them in a second apartment but that her assistant needed a place to stay so things worked out. She was followed by Rodney Dangerfield & Beau Bridges

There are actually a lot more Tonight Show appearances at the museum but maybe those are the ones that are in the archives. There is a seperate area to search under the archives. It says it might take up to a week to get the materials but all the ones I chose were available immediately. But there are at least 6 total Tonight Show appearances at the museum. There is quite a funny appearance after she has been the Maid of Honor at a friend's wedding. It's better to see it then have it explained.

PA Fan, is it perhaps "What'll I Do" by Irving Berlin? It would be a great song for her to sing (even if it's not the one you mean).

Name that tune!!
