Fantasy (1982)
Ventriloquist performance
I was on this show as a 16 year old. I believe it might have been filmed in November and aired in December, 1982, but I could be off a month or two. I am a ventriloquist, and at the time, had never seen a live performance of another ventriloquist. I was a good student in school and a good kid, I guess. My mom wrote the letter to the show - and it was her fantasy to have them give me my fantasy of performing with a professional ventriloquist. I met and performed with Shari Lewis and Lambchop. Shari gave me the number 2 Lambchop doll off the production line, with an autographed tag. I, too, would give anything to have a copy of that video to share with my children. If it weren't for my uncle who took photos of the TV while it aired, I would have nothing to prove to my children that I was on that show (other than the hometown newspaper putting me on the front of the TV Guide - Yay! for small towns!). Anyway, it was really awesome the way NBC studios took care of us. We had been going through so much when that "fantasy" was awarded. It was a blessing to have an experience like that.
