Tomorrow's Stars



Tomorrow's Stars is an ABC television special that aired on June 17, 1978. Hosted by John Ritter, the program featured performers who were voted on by the studio audience and select home viewers.

Big Bird was featured among a list of celebrities who would comment on the acts while the votes were being tallied. Other guests included Cheryl Tiegs, Joan Rivers, Florence Henderson, Dick Van Patten, Captain & Tennille, and Norm Crosby.

In his memoir The Wisdom of Big Bird, performer Caroll Spinney mentioned that he was "very annoyed with John, because he pulled a couple of the Bird's feathers out as a joke".
