On THE TODAY SHOW this morning  Al Roaker interviewed Dick Van Dyke, reviewing Dick’s show biz career.  Dick Van Dyke is 95 now and has had a long active career and they seemed to quickly covered bits of everything he was in.

Well, not everything.

Back before he was a household name he was a member of the MERRY MUTES.  The MERRY MUTES was a mute comedy group that did quick funny skits at THE WITS END*, *bring money.  The leaders of the MERRY MUTES were Phil and Nancy Erickson, who also owned the WITS END*.  *$

They also had a 15 minute show on local TV.

I remember Dick accentuated his long lank body and apparently double jointness.

They were a riot.
