Jennifer of the Jungle (Judy Graubart) introduces the first topic of the day with her signature cry: "OI-OI-OI-OI-OI!" Yes, it's the OI combination, featured again when Jennifer's best friend Paul the Gorilla (Jimmy Boyd) loses his voice and needs a new voice box courtesy of Dr. Dolots (Luis Avalos). The Short Circus sings a scary yet catchy song about a word that's very useful to watch out for: "Poison"! Otto the Director (Rita Moreno) tries to get movie star Skip Hinnant, who's playing a referee in a football movie, to say "I'll flip the coin", but instead he announces he's going to flip the switch, then flip the pancake! Later, Moreno sings a short little ditty entitled "I Don't Have a Cent", replete with words ending with the NT consonant blend and the "ent" word family. Then comes an exciting three-part event: the "You Must Pay the Rent" saga. First, Stephen Gustafson, Gregg Burge, and Bayn Johnson act out a play about a couple who must pay rent to their sinister landlord - the only prop they need is a black bow tie that can also serve as a hair bow or a mustache. Then, Hinnant, Graubart, and Boyd reenact that same scenario in a silent-movie format with the words appearing onscreen. Finally, the three return to turn the play into a song. Letterman learns a lesson in the NT blend when the Spellbinder turns an ant into a towering giant! The last topic is the ALL sound. Fargo North, Decoder (Hinnant) must help a circus acrobat (Avalos) figure out which consonants should go before each "all" in a note the ringmaster gave him.
Tune in next time when Santa brings lots of toys.
