Fernwood 2Night / Tonight Episode 46 -Mobile Home Daredevil 

RIP, Martin Mull. You and the late Fred Willard were incredibly funny together.

My mom was in labor with me when this episode broadcasted. This was late night sept 5 1977, i was born 2:57 am Sept 6 1977 ❤😂

Absolutely brilliant in how subversive it was. The entire happy face bit was genius.

I remember staying up late as a kid to watch.

"What happens after death?" - Martin at 19:50. RIP Martin Mull. RIP Fred Willard. Girls were so hot in 1977.

This was great... I used to come home and watch the show with a buzz on back in the '70s. This clip has three outstanding comedians I always liked.

The dancer/singer on the right is Valerie Miller. Incredibly talented, and a wonderful person.

Why this show was never commercially available is a crime.

Great to find this. I remember watching this back in the day. Great humor. RIP Martin Mull.

I remember this airing with Mary Hartman Mary Hartman.

i still have a couple of martin mull albums. they were original and somewhat whimsical and full of satire.he was a good guitarist and had a solid band with him. the albums were some of the only ones i saved, i liked them that much when i gave away my collection of about 300. i saw him once playing at a bar in hudson, massachusetts around 1975.

Tommy Tedesco sighting! You can hear him too, herein there ;D

Oh man, thank you for putting these up

Death is just constant little chores around the house. Hahaha. 😂

I know I have a warped strange sense of humor...I loved this show..I got it...oh the Farah fawcett hair do.. very popular at the time.... great show.

Rest In Peace Martin Mull

This is how I get my news. RIP Martin.

This is hysterical

Kathy McCullen was Debbie Dunbar.

A great show. Used to watch with my Mom. I miss you Mom.

"Barth" was the twin brother of "Garth", on the Mary Hartman show, of which Fernwood was a fantastic spin-off, w/ a well deserved cult following. .

great happyface bit

I remember being baffled by this show as a teenager; along with Soap and Mary Hartman. No wonder I turned out so weird.🤪

I miss the 70s …goofy but more innocent time

His brother Garth - also played by Martin Mull - was killed on Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman by being shoved in a closet and impaled on an artificial Christmas tree. He came for the funeral - and stayed in Fernwood.

Forgot about this show.

the first emoji🙂

Have a nice day. Was obviously started by Forrest Gump, why did they not give him credit?

I watched this show. The battery car is hilarious

I watched this episode when it first aired.

This kicks Ass

This is so tasteless, it’s great!

The show shoulda stayed in Fernwood, and let any celebrity (un)lucky enough to stuck in that part of Ohio show up for the occasional appearance. The beauty of 'Fernwood 2Night' was having the local high school principal using 'Debbie Dunbar' for the corporal punishment segment.

He would crack me up!

I wonder why Martin Mull wasn't in the Christopher Guest movies?

jim varney.

Vern!!

First saw Marty at the cellar door in DC. We laffed our asses off at his silly nest then he’d play more nonsense on the guitar

Lieutenant Leonard could give some advice to Biden . . .

What happens after death, Barth?

I wonder how much was improvisation, and how much scripted?

There's no way millennials or GenZers could handle this type of humor.

Paving the way for Michael Scott

Wow.. racist anyone? The world was a very different place back when Fernwood 2 Night and Mary Hartman Mary Hartman were on the air. Martin Mull was definitely one of a kind.

It took me a minute to recognize Jim Varney as the daredevil. And Debbie Dunbar is hot! Thanks for posting this classic and cult show. It really deserves to be seen by a huge audience, some of whom might actually get it and the jokes.

This show was so far ahead of its time. 🔥

i always watched the show and the mary hartman show back in the 70's, lots of laughs.

If you want to watch other episodes, go to archive.org/details/ferbwood2night where I found them.

I don't know in God's name how they kept a straight face during these shows. And the guests never broke character, or giggled. You can actually believe these people are real.

Hi everyone :) Wow thank you SO much for sharing this. For some reason, after so many years have gone by, Barth Gimble and Fernwood Tonight came into my mind tonight. I LOVED Fernwood Tonight and seeing this reminded me why. What a classic. I used to watch it with my big brother Bobby back in the day. We would LAUGH!! Oh my gosh how we’d laugh lol. He looked like Martin Mull and would imitate him Perfectly! Bobby passed away in 2011. I miss him so much and seeing this just brought back more than millions of wonderful memories. I can’t believe how this warmed my heart and reminded me how fun our carefree lives we’re back then. It just made me feel so good and brought happy tears. Thank you again, so much, for sharing.🥰🥲😊😄❤️

When comedy was edgy and no political "jokes" (other then a crack about communism). Thanks for posting! When I would watch this show it was on so late I usually zoned out.

Debbie has such a beautiful face.

I'd go to a friend's house and watch this, thought it was so hilarious. Now watching it again after all these years, really cracks me up.

Sammy Davis was brutal. The One dot

Millennials and Gen Z won't get this. This is classic 💥BOOMER💥 Humour.

Is that a 70s suit or what? Those pointy shirt collars.

Jim Varney was very funny. He along with Martin and Fred are wonderful.

Can you post the one where the town vegetarian confesses that "the body craves burgers"?

Was surprised to see Jim Varney there, in his early days. Reading his bio on Wikipedia, looks like he did a number of bit parts in the late 70's. Then in 1980 started doing his most popular character "Ernest" doing the "hey Vern!" commercials we all knew and loved. Died in 2000 at age 50. Lung cancer. Chain smoker.

My favorite part was Debbie’s blank look on the third “Baby, baby”…forgetting the words!

The crowd always looked people at TV wrestling studio. R.I.P. funny man

Great, great show. RIP Martin Mull. The best villain ever as the wife beater Garth Gimble on Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. His performance was disturbing. And then as Garth's narcissistic twin brother Barth on Fernwood 2Night in the summer when MHMH went on hiatus. I was supposed to go to bed at 10:00 p.m. but my mother let me stay up for one more half-hour to see MHMH/F2Night. She had already gone to bed. Well, I sneakily stayed up after MHMH/F2Night to then watch Johnny Carson's monologue. THEN I went to bed.

I wish they would reshow the old Mary Hartman Mary Hartman. No one has streamed it

The guy who actually designed the happy face got $475 for it. That’s it.

RIP Ernie

Is that Jim Varney from Ernest fame?

You can’t beat that opening audience shot.

3:34 try to do that today and a DA will charge you. Land of the free 🌈

RIP Martin Mull

RIP Mr. Mull

Loved watching it stoned

So racist but wonderful Was that ERNEST?

The Happy Face bid was pure genius.

It that Debralee Scott (Hotsy Totsy)as one of the singers??

Wow Jim Varney. Loved him. 😂

I loved that show.

❤❤❤❤

Thanks for posting this, really enjoyed it !

This vulgar racist bit is hilarious. Jeez just laugh sheeple
