Loni Anderson as a doll...Not Bob Hope Christmas Special

Hey...Came up with another strange one. I remember Loni Anderson portraying a robotic doll on a TV show. I know we all know about her as Sarena on the Bob Hope Christmas Special, but this one she was called the Loni Doll. Anybody have any clue about the name of the show?

I seem to remember that... it was a long time ago. I want to say it was a skit on a Steve Allen variety television special?

I did a little more researching....and I think she did the skit on NBC's variety show called "The Big Show", and I think you were right with her doing the skit with Steve Allen NemoVoid. I believe he hosted the show, and if I remember correctly he was sitting in an office and promoting the "Loni Doll".

I remember (faintly) that he had a remote that powered her and that towards the end of the skit she began to malfunction by repeating herself.

Hopefully I can find the clip for it somewhere....

This probably doesn't add to much, but it was the very first episode of The Big Show:
