From 10/23/1973: Johnny Carson welcomes The Ace Trucking Company to The Tonight Show. The A.T.C. consisted of Fred Willard, George Memmoli, Michael Mislove and Bill Saluga. Not long before this, Patti Deutsch had left the group. For this sketch, Fred plays the judge, George plays the widow, Michael plays her son and Bill plays Mr. Raymond Jay Johnson Junior…but you dasn't have to call him that.
I remember seeing the A.T.C. when they were playing at the Ice House in Pasadena…and just about every club in Los Angeles that was even remotely suitable for their kind of comedy. They were always very funny and Fred was a special standout. He sure holds this sketch together…
