Sounds like the dvd has copies of the 30min syndicated rerun version; when the show originally aired, it was an houir. Otehr variety shows (SNL) have been edited similarly for reruns

I don't think that guy looks anything like Sir Paul! Maybe you can find out who he is? Charlie isn't supposed to look like Sir Paul, but John....

Plastic Ono Band (1970) John Lennon
Look At Me
OK? (yes sir)
Look at me, Who am I supposed to be? Who am I supposed to be? Look at me, What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be? Look at me, Oh my love, oh my love.
Here I am, What am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do? Here I am, What can I do for you? What can I do for you? Here I am, Oh my love, oh my love.
Look at me, oh please look at me, my love, Here I am - Oh my love.
Who am I? Nobody knows but me, Nobody knows but me, Who am I? Nobody else can see, Just you and me, Who are we? Oh my love, oh my love. Oh my love...

That Johnny boy surely was feeding us many clues.....Must have been his way with expressing his feelings toward Bill.

I think that was his way of saying that he's had stand-ins, & noone knew but him & Yoko. However, it seems to me that it's being sung from the perspective of the stand-in. What makes it even stranger, it appears that the stand-in was intimate with the person he is singing it to ! Maybe John wrote it from Charlie Brill's POV & he was singing it to Mitzi ? We'll never know for sure. Is Charlie Brill still alive ?

Yeah I think those lyrics were about Bill and Linda.

DH, that could very well be. I hadn't thought of it that way. John was very good at masking things & still getting his point across !

Charlie Brill is also a skilled voice work actor. How is his Liverpool accent and his singing? I noticed in a recent radio interview he did with Mitzi McCall, Brill has a Brooklyn accent but in the Beatles debut 1964 Ed Sullivan show act he had completely suppressed all traces of his natural Brooklyn accent.
From a website:
Voice work of Charlie Brill
Character Show Episode Grimmy Mother Goose and Grimm Misc Droopy Master Detective misc Laugh-In Misc Tom & Jerry Kids
Found 4 records.
If you know of other voice work Charlie Brill has done, you may add credits.

..That is if one lives a seemingly healthy life without all the drugs and strange living Lennon lived. (And some would say no YOKO ) It appears that Charlie Brill lives a seemingly healthy life. He doesn't look like the drug soaked rock stars of the 1960's still living, like Keith Richards. Just as long as this is Charlie Brill and not Farlie Frill. If you catch my drift and someone comes along and says he was replaced too...

"Doll" of Laugh-In Charlie Brill from the Laugh-In regular/Hogan's Hero cast member Larry Hovis' website: He is wearing the Beatle gray suit like he did in the Star Trek epsiode and little round Lennon glasses.

That is strange about the doll. It's really cute.

Peter Sellers on the Muppet Show (looking a lot like John Lennon), trying to send us a poignant and profound clue? www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSJc72OC7Dg&search=Peter%20Sellers"There is no me, I do not exist ...

There had been some talk about Peter Sellers in this before. He was a bit like John, in that he had a peculiar sense of humor. Certainly not stereotypical of British men, but unique.
Never saw him on Muppet Show...it's been years since I saw that show.
Interesting post.

Match Game Charlie Brill's odd shirt/vest is reminiscent of Faul's sweater in Magical Mystery Tour.

A coincidence deserving of mention: at the heart of the music industry, on Broadway in Charlie's hometown of New York was the "Brill Building," recently purchased by the British monarchy.

Where Tin Pan Alley started. George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hart, Irving Berlin, Sammy Cahn, Sammy Fain, Jerome Kern, etc. et al, leading up o the 60's and Carole King and all these modern day writers, see article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brill_BuildingJim Croce Bobby Darin Hal David John Denver Neil Diamond Howard Greenfield Billy Joel Kris Kristofferson Joni Mitchell Neil Sedaka Carly Simon Paul Simon James Taylor Gene Pitney Artie Kornfeld Paul Anka Really, just about everybody. There's no getting away from it.

Yep. Winter, Spring, Summer or Faul--er, Fall, All you got to do is just call, And I'll be there, yes I will. You've Got a Friend. Ain't it Good to Know? You've Got a Friend. OK: Carole King wrote "You've Got a Friend", and true, her multi-platinum seller album called "Tapestry" held the record for years for selling more copies than anything else in the bins--but J.T. made this particular song of hers truly famous.

In the 1960s Charlie Brill and Mitzi McCall released a comedy album with photos of their faces, upside down, on the cover, titled "FROM OUR POINT OF VIEW" "recorded live at the upstairs at the downstairs" Charlie Brill's face on the album, wearing his black rimmed Peter Sellers glasses, looks like neither the 1964 Ed Sullivan-Beatles Charlie Brill nor the 1967 John Lennon-klone Star Trek Tribbles Charlie Brill. He was having plastic surgery to become "John Winston Lennon." David Bowie "clue" on his Ziggy Startrek album: the "it was alright" song, that seems to be about the "Hey Jude" TV perfromance: "Boys stood upon their chairs/ to make their point of view ..."
