As you may know Ive created a playlist of many of the dead videos on the sift. As its been there for awhile, and there have been quite a few views of it, very few vids have been fixed or discarded. I thought a list just of yours might be of some help. The list below are all your videos on my playlist. There may be a few errors, but I gave it my best shot.

The Gumby comeback is a great story that I read a while ago:

http://ezone.org/ez/e3/articles/mingo/gumby.html

Gumby started generating a lot of money. The problem was, Clokey wasn't getting much of it. He was paid a straight salary of $200 a week to write and produce the Gumby episodes. (That went up to $350 a week shortly before the Gumby Show was canceled in 1957.)

For eight years, he refused to license the Gumby image for merchandising. "I was a very idealistic person," he says, "and I didn't want to exploit children." That changed after Gumby's show left NBC and Clokey bought all rights back from the network. His Prema (Sanskrit for "universal love") Toy Corporation started manufacturing Gumby dolls and toys in 1964, the year that Gumby found new life in syndication and Clokey started getting rich.

Not long after, however, his personal life fell apart, and so did his fortune. He went through painful and expensive divorce proceedings with his wife of 18 years in 1966, about the time that TV stations began dropping Gumby in favor of newer and slicker kid shows. Clokey invested his last dollars in a new venture--a flexy-faced doll called Moody Rudy-- that bombed. His house went into foreclosure. In 1974, his daughter died in a car crash. Clokey went into heavy therapy and began "looking at various gurus" before adopting the teachings of Indian Swami Muktananda.

Clokey remarried in 1976 and three years later, he and his new wife Gloria traveled to Bangalore, India to visit a guru named Sathya Sai Baba who supposedly had amazingly magical powers. For some reason, Clokey brought a Gumby doll along to their audience with the guru. "I stood there with Gumby and he did this circular motion with his arms," Clokey says. "Out of nowhere he materialized this sacred ash. He plopped it right on top of Gumby. When we came home again, things started to happen." Gumby toy sales began to pick up, and then Eddie Murphy started doing a continuing Gumby skit on Saturday Night Live.. Suddenly, the phone started ringing and Gumby was hip again. Clokey went on a lecture tour and received an $8 million contract with Lorimar for a new Gumby series. He started work on Gumby--the Movie.

I read somewhere that Alfonso Ribiero started doing this as a young guy making fun of Courtney Cox dancing with Bruce Springsteen in "Dancing in the Dark" and he was inspired by Eddie Murphy's "white people can all do this one dance real good" bit.

It'd be nice to have the Eddie Murphy routine about the "green bitch" immediately after this.

Eddie Murphy is a talented singer but this entire album he made was terrible! But am not surprised now considering it was made with Rick "cocaine is a wonderful drug" James.

Check him out in Dreamgirls, amazing voice there and still talented!

That was so painful that I must counter with some 80's cheese torture of my own:

Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See is the first single by Busta Rhymes from his second album When Disaster Strikes. It is one of the album's party songs but also carries Busta's clever rhymes and speedy delivery. The song also shout-outs The Notorious B.I.G. ("Then I blitz and reminisce on my nigga Notorious"). This song is one of the many that would showcase the speedy delivery of the eccentric rapper.

The video, directed by Hype Williams, features Busta waking up, getting dressed and brushing his teeth (along with his maids). At the chorus is a well choreographed dance routine which is followed by Busta running with an elephant in glowing tribal African make-up and outfit. It is all a re-creation of the opening of the 1988 Eddie Murphy film Coming to America

I wonder how Eddie Murphy feels now his Beverly Hills Cop theme is associated with Crazy frog... ;-)

If she hosted a show for preschoolers, how in the world would they ever see this? Parents control what their kids see, there's no reason for the kids to ever see this. Unfortuantely, this woman didn't have enough celebrity status to hold her job.
How many celebs out there w/ big potty mouths and inappropriate humor for children go on after their stand up careers to do Disney and Pixar films? Eddie Murphy? Chris Rock? I'm sure there are more. It's a bit hypocritical
