It wouldn't be an urban legend if there weren't lots of people who are
sure they remembered it. Similarly the Zsa-Zsa one (sometimes Rachel
Welch or other celebrities) or the Mrs. Arnold Palmer one also from the
Tonight Show. People will swear up and down they remember seeing it.

I don't TOTALLY discount it, after all the one from The Newlywed Game
did turn up after all. However, I sincerely doubt it.

Should Reg turn up a copy and show it to me, I'll be happy to apologize
profusely here. I won't hold my breath.
