Re: [ARSCLIST] blooper samples?

The Uncle Don recording on the Kermit Schaefer album described here is is a staging of something that never happened:

There are many actual bloopers on the Schaefer albums, but this one was a staging of an urban legend about Uncle Don (and other kiddie show hosts).

Geesh,

I might have a record like that somewhere. In the 60's such albums were
popular. The most famous ones were an announcer introducing Herbert Hoover
as, something like "Heepert Hoober". There was Uncle Don, a kids performer.
He did a show and said something, thinking he was off mike, like; "that
ought to hold the little bastards." There was another of a sports caster,
really into the game, who sees a running play and screams: "look at that S-N
of a Bi-ch run."
