Is That Janis?

[Mike Smith]

I ran across this clip of Steve Martin's first major television appearance: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqdQ-LrZR7A (for some reason, it would not embed).

My question: Is that Janis Hansen over Steve's shoulder?

That is a tough question.
The hair style looks like hers but it is not close enough to truly see.
This may take some really good research into Smothers Brothers history.
I always liked their shows.

Janis told me she was on The Andy Williams Show up until she joined B66, for what that's worth. The Smothers' show started in Feb. 1967, she should have been touring/singing with B66 by then. I opened for the Smothers in Seattle years ago -- I've joked their sound check proved their act was no act.
