LARAINE NEWMAN & HER BOX OFFICE BURT

Burt Reynolds and Laraine Newman before the opening credits

"Well," the lovely, quirky, awesome Laraine Newman says to fifth season guest, superstar Burt Reynolds, who wasn't nominated for an Oscar that year even though his co-stars were, backstage, "you're still number one in my box office."

Burt made for a cool guest on that episode... During his monologue, after a loud round of applause, he quipped: "I know... I live with it everyday."
