In 1975, no one had ever thought about a variety show that was done live... at least not one like this. It was met with much opposition by those both connected and those not connected to it. As a matter of fact, it almost didn't happen. Though a series of events, what started as chaos has become a favorite for many. Now 50 years later, it's still going strong.
