Dec. 17, 2010: Senor Wences, and his famous characters, will be re-introduced to a new generation on a national T.V. series
The JadaGrace Show is a new, national, variety television show, soon to be released, starring “nine year old sensation,” singer, dancer, actress, JadaGrace.
In episode # 3, I, Michele LaFong, protege of famous international ventriloquist Senor Wences, and Johnny, his famous “lipstick hand-puppet, were introduced as a new recurring act. Johnny and Senor Wences’ other famous characters were passed on to LaFong in March of ’98, as documented in LIFE magazine.
In a very funny scene, following Michele & Johnny’s performance, in which Lafong and Johnny were thanking JadaGrace and her manager, for hiring them, JadaGrace’s manager had a question for LaFong, and got frustrated when Johnny, the puppet, kept answering for Michele. In an unplanned “take,” the manager actually covered the “lipstick hand-puppet’s” mouth with his hand, to shut him up!
The actor who “plays” the manager, confessed off camera, that looking at Johnny’s face, and forgetting that the “lipstick hand-puppet” was not a real person, was “truly disturbing!”
“Kudos” to The JadaGrace Show for being the first national television series that will re-introduce Senor Wences, and his beloved famous characters, to a new generation, since “The Muppet Show Featuring Senor Wences” and thanks to the power of YouTube, here is a portion of that show… You’ll love the opening … Typical Senor Wences!
