 Tony Clifton (alter ego of Andy Kaufman (I) (qv)) verbally  harassed Dinah Shore (qv) throughout the show. He pressured her  into singing a duet with him even though she had a sore throat.  Finally, during a cooking segment with Sammy Davis Jr. (qv),  Clifton dumped a pan of eggs over Shores head live on the air. The  show quickly cut to a commercial and Clifton/Kaufman was escorted  out of the studio. The tape of the incident was destroyed.
