Tread Perilously begins Summer Total Request Live -- the Patreon Subscriber request month -- by honoring Patron Peter and finally watching an episode of the short-lived NBC variety show Pink Lady and Jeff.
Jeff welcomes special guests Lorne Green, Florence Henderson, Sid Caesar, and musical guest Blondie. Pink Lady performs a disco medley, "Yesterday," and more. Jim Varney joins Jeff and the comedy troop for a number of sketches meant to induce laughs. Caesar returns as Pink Lady's father in a shockingly unfunny sketch. The hot tub gag reveals a lot about the three stars and Blondie's musical contribution proves surprising.
Justin once again doubts a genuine television show is real. He also continues to deny the existence of Randolph Mantooth. The pair are surprised to see comic book legend Mark Evanier listed as head writer. It leads to an exploration of his efforts as a TV writer. Sid and Marty Krofft make another appearance as executive producers. Both Erik and Justin try to recall how they first learned about Pink Lady's infamy. Erik claims it killed the prime time variety format. Sketches are dissected. Sid Caesar must pay for a crime. Johnny the Dog's short-lived celebrity surprises everyone and Florence Henderson proves to be the MVP once again.
