April 12, 1984 –
The short-lived MTM Enterprises series, The Duck Factory, starring Jim Carrey, Julie Payne, Nancy Lane, Jay Tarses, Don Messick, Teresa Ganzel, and Jack Gilford, premiered on NBC TV, on this date. The series only lasted 13 episodes.
Jim Carrey did his first appearance on David Letterman’s Late Night right after the show was canceled. After Carrey’s wild act of impressions, from Sammy Davis Jr. to Clint Eastwood, Letterman mentioned the show, and Carrey pretended to start crying, then said, “I miss Jack Gilford’s stories.”
