Pink Lady and Jeff

Pink Lady and Jeff was a television show that aired for six weeks on NBC in 1980. It is considered by many to be one of the worst television shows ever.

Pink Lady was a Japanese female singing duo composed of Keiko Masuda ("Kei") and Mitsuyo Nemoto ("Mie"), and "Jeff" was comedian Jeff Altman. The format of the show consisted of musical numbers alternating with sketch comedy. Jim Varney, who achieved later fame as "Ernest P. Worrell" in the Ernest series of movies and television shows, contributed as a character actor. The show was produced by Sid and Marty Krofft and its head writer was Mark Evanier.

Pink Lady became famous in Japan for singing The Village People's "In the Navy," changing the lyrics to "Pink La-dy". When they came to America to film the show, they knew very little English.

Pink Lady and Jeff can be seen on Trio, a television network which designates June as "Flops!" month.
