It was nice that they didn't snub him completely by the time The Variety Hour came out. You can see Roddie joining in the fun at the end of this particular episode in the link.

That's not Robbie Rist. It's singer/ songwriter Paul Williams (

).
He was a famous entertainer during the 70's and was regularly a guest on game and variety shows, as well as many of the ensemble shows like "Love Boat". -

I also watched it again hana.
What is funny when Roddie does the final turn, you can see he's wearing on built up heels, and by then he was the fully grown mens, but him still smaller than all the girls. Also, he seems confused by Carol's bopping. -

I was wondering which actress played " Jan Brady " on this episode of
" The Brady Bunch Variety Hour #9 (finale) " ?
That certainly didn't look like the original actress Eve Plumb
.
Surprisingly I never watched this show before until this YouTube clip it looked like a great show too
.
Thanks rajeshmulan for your subject post

Geri Reischl played Jan on the Brady Bunch Variety Hour because Eve Plumb didn't want to do it. She was trying to distance herself from the show so she wouldn't get typecast. Geri Reishl has since been dubbed "Fake Jan". Eve Plumb did return later for The Brady Brides and The Bradys (1990) as well as the other tv reunion movies.
Years later on one of the reunion movies Susan Olsen couldn't return for the movie because she was on her honeymoon and Jennifer Runyon (Charles in Charge) became "Fake Cindy".
When Maureen McCormick didn't want to do the hour long Bradys drama series in 1990, Leah Ayres became "Fake Marcia".
I don't know what they have to say. It makes no difference anyway. Whatever it is, I'm against it.
