^^^^^^
   That is a pretty amusing picture, but I would wager that members outside of the U.S. do not know who most of those people are.   

I'd wager you'd win that wager lol. There's probably a lot of folks under a certain age here in the U.S. that wouldn't get the reference either.

Speaking of folks outside the U.S., I'd happy as all get out if Jack would stop by and wave at us.

As an example of someone outside of the US I have no idea who those people are... but I might recognise the names!

John Davidson, Cathy Lee Crosby, and Fran Tarkenton. They hosted a show in the early eighties called "That's Incredible!".

It's the first TV show to warn viewers to not attempt the dangerous stunts portrayed on the show, I believe. David Letterman's show followed suit a few years later. Now it's a staple of live-action shows.

No, I didn't recognise the names or the show.

I take great pride in knowing a lot of sometimes even obscure tv shows from the us but goddarnit...never heard of that one!

John: "Our guest this evening will shove a cherry bomb up his nose and then ignite it."

Cathy: "..."

Audience: "uhhhh...."

Fran: "I remember in my second season playing for the Vikings, there..."

John: "Shut up Fran"

Guest: BOOM!

Audience: "THAT'S INCREDIBLE!"

I can barely remember watching 1 episode of that show, and that was only because Tarkenton was one of the hosts.  I saw his entire career in the NFL playing for the New York Giants and then the Minnesota Vikings.

[Vyn]

Yeah, I don't recall any of the actual shows. I just remember the hosts and the audience yelling "That's Incredible!" after watching someone do some crazy stunt.

Mr. Tarkenton was a fine QB.

I remember the Indian monks that crammed themselves into tiny boxes for hours. Dude. THAT'S INCREDIBLE!
