December 17, 1969…Tiny Tim Marries Miss Vicki On ‘Tonight’

Remember this? I was a senior in high school and although it was a Wednesday night, I got permission to stay up and watch, along with about 40 million others. Probably one of the greatest publicity stunts of all time. I met him a few times and yes…he’s just as odd off stage as on. Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee

    For a year or so he toured with a little traveling circus that came through the town I live in. I ran a radio station at the time and got to interview him. It sure was interesting!
