Today in Heritage History, April 14, 1961, the first live television broadcast in the Soviet Union takes place. Audiences wept in disappointment all across the U.S.S.R. as Boris the ventriloquist* and his Nikita Khrushchev puppet, lost to Sven the snowshoe rabbit juggler,on the season finale of Siberia’s Got Talent.
*Boris is scheduled for a parole hearing from a Moscow prison in June of 3015
Topo Gigio, wow. Kissa me gooood night Eddie. Little freakin’ rat.
I wonder if Boris got to take his puppet into the pen with him.
Don’t make me make-up bad hand puppet jokes about things that might happen in prison. Happy week end.

P.S. New caption contest tomorrow…just a heads-up!
Cool! Thanks!
Boris will be released and he and several others like, Fidel Castro, Imelda Marcos will appear on The Apprentice 3016.
How would you have liked to work on a project with Imelda Marcos huh? Would make working with Dionne Warwick look like a day at Disney World. Where ya’ been? I miss your posts.

Hey, I was just throwing out leader’s names, what do I know?
Kids have been on spring break- I need to get to my laptop!
Didn’t they try to do a Gulag’s Got Talent? It was more like the NIT to the NCAA finals. People never really bought in.
I don’t remember Gulag’s Got Talent, but I do remember Siberian Survivor. Boris was voted off the commune before he appeared on Siberia’s Got Talent. Should have been a “sign” for him

I remember Topo Gigio…he was the delight of Ed Sullivan. Wonder what ever happened to that act. Happy week end Carl!
