Let It Be Otay!

You know who's who. (YouTube; collage by the author.) Months after posting about Our Gang/Little Rascals imposter Freckles, I'm following up on the fake with the real deal: George "Spanky" McFarlandMatthew "Stymie" BeardDarla Hood, and Billie "Buckwheat" Thomas get interviewed by Tom Snyder on the 11/12/1974 broadcast of Tomorrow (here).

Though fun* and informative it's also sad to watch, especially when one knows Stymie, Darla and Buckwheat will all be dead within seven years after the show's taping. (Spanky made it to 1993.)


* - Best bit: NBC censors Stymie's "Jesus Christ!" around the 11:46 mark.
