Yakov in tv-land

Yakov Smirnoff has a new show, and you don't even need tickets for it. You'll probably just need a recliner, a warm blanket and the remote control. His new show is a tv pilot for his new talk show called Love & Laughter. It airs on KY-3 TV on Saturday, November 22 at 9 pm CST (and airs again on Sunday, November 23 at 1 pm). This first show has some interesting guests: Branson's own ventriloquist & comedian Jim Barber and his wife Diane; author Willard Harley who wrote His Needs, Her Needs; and Ray & Irma Ziff, a couple who have been married for 75 years. Yakov calls his show a "cross between Dr. Phil and Ellen where it's a lot of entertainment, and a little bit of information, so you can learn & laugh your Yak-Off." It's a new type of talk show that focuses on the important role that laughter plays in a healthy relationship. Tune in and see what you think. Love & Laughter shows in place of Law & Order for that night, but Law & Order returns the following weekend.
