The talk of old variety shows reminded me of one that was aired probably in the 80s. It was vaguely circus- like and pretended to be from (iirc) eastern Europe. It had as its main characters a guy with a thick accent and a woman who dressed like some sort of show girl, although I don’t think she was all that young. I don’t think it was on long.
Would it be Viva Variety?
It sounds like either Viva Variety, or “Rio” by Duran Duran.
I’ve been sitting on youtube watching clips of viva variety for almost 10 minutes to get ninja’d be 3 people?
Viva Variety by the same people that did Reno 911
Possibly “Viva Variety?”
You guys got it! Funny thing- I was going to say the “showgirl” of my poor memory reminded me of the brunette cop on 911. Now I know why!
Cause, meet effect.
Reno 911 had the two main people that were in VV. Viva Variety was by the same people that were in The State.
