Bonus Video! The Creation of TV's Greatest Drag Queen
🕑 Added 2023-07-30 16:00:08 +0000 UTCHello there! This week's bonus video is all about Beverly LaSalle, the groundbreaking drag queen from All in the Family -- where she was discovered, how the writers adapted a real-life drag performer for a TV audience, and how television changed live drag venues in the late 70s. Plus, the actress who played Edith Bunker (Jean Stapleton) famously turned down the starring role on Murder She Wrote, but that didn't stop her from playing a mystery novelist a few years later! ... in a role with a very odd connection to, of all people, Tina Fey.
Also: I've got a new video coming your way next Sunday, and I hope you'll join me for some livestreams before and after the launch! Here's the schedule for Sunday August 6:
- 11am pacific: A YouTube livestream at youtube.com/mattbaume
- 12pm pacific: The premiere of the new video, also at youtube.com/mattbaume
- 12:30pm pacific: A post-premiere hangout on Twitch at twitch.tv/mattbaume

The last two videos had problems with the outro (like the file developed a glitch), so maybe he has to recreate it.

The Beverly LaSalle episodes is a heartbreaker.

No outro after the “see you at Fleckman’s”? What happened?
