Wow, 34 years ago! Tell us more, Tiger, about Peter specifically. What did they talk about? What did Peter sing? How did he look? What was he wearing? C'mon, "dish" a little, please.

Peter sang "Everything Old Is New Again",at the piano, he wore black pants, black shoes and a satin cream shirt. As played the piano he took off the shirt to reveal a black glittering singlet. The segment went for 4 mins with Norman wondering what happened to Chris his brother , did Liza adopt him? But Peter said that he went to the Rockies to write songs. A very tongue in cheek interview between the two of them.

Sweet. Thanks, Tiger. Every little snippet is appreciated.

I wish they would broadcast (or make a DVD of) Peter's old talk show appearances in the US, but I'm sure all the different "owners" would never agree on such a thing. Just think of the fun we could have, watching Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, Late Night, Tom Snyder, Sally Jesse, et. al. There are a few clips at the Television Museum in NYC, but I'm afraid we'll never see most of his old appearances again. Too bad.

I've noticed some DVDs of an old Aussie nature show on Ebay. Peter is apparently the "host" but I don't think he narrates the program. Does anyone know more about this?
