Wacky Wednesday Comedy Flashback: Stiller and Meara in "School Protest With Walter Flonkite And Mrs. Mulcahy" on The Ed Sullivan Show

In our search for wacky comedy sketches we rolled the clock back 51 years to 1970 when Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show in a skit where Stiller was CBS reporter Walter Flonkite and Meara was a distraught mother appealing to her son to end a high school demonstration that became violent.

As reporter Flonkite (Stiller) calmly reports on the disturbance, Regina Margaret Mary Mulcahy (Meara) aims a volley of hostility at her son, Vincent Francis Xavier Aloysius, and tries to coax him off the ledge outside the principal's office.

Enjoy!
