Art Fern Sells Transmountainside Airlines

Tea Time Movie with Johnny Carson and Carol Wayne

As far as I'm concerned, the Tea-Time Movie was the best series of sketches that Johnny Carson ever did. The main character, Art Fern always hosted and the late Carol Wayne played the Matinee Lady. She was only there as window dressing and to be the butt of leering jokes. Back in the day, every major city had a show similar to this and they were all pretty much the same. They would show a movie but the real purpose was to sell almost anything you could think of. It is very funny, so please enjoy.
