The Tom Snyder Radio Show with guest Spanky McFarland (1989)
I remember back in the '70s watching the Mike Douglas show when he had a reunion of Spanky, Darla, and several others. Robert Klein was also a guest. He did a brief standup routine about the rascals, touching briefly on the racism of the serious (with the white "measles" dots on the black actor). When Klein sat down next to Spanky, he said he was going to do something he'd always wanted to do, then proceeded to gesture like he was going to pinch Spanky's cheek. Spanky quickly pantomimed his reaction, which was a "sock on the jaw" gesture back at Klein. Memorable television.
