Jennifer Granholm on the Dating Game TV show in 1978

She has puffy hair - lots of it - wears tight jeans and suspenders, and asks questions of the three bachelors like "What was the most famous girl you ever dated famous for?"

The host says she hails from British Columbia, is multi-talented, works in public relations and enjoys the arts, theater and the great outdoors. He also welcomes her as "the cute and curvaceous Jennifer Granholm."

Another question Granholm asks: "What form of transportation should all girls be built like and why?"

One guy said a rowboat - "round and solid like a stern."

the contestants had been Obama, Willard and Paul. SNL needs to do a sketch on this. Perhaps not with Granholm, but it would be Hi Larry Us. Can you imagine the response. I think I need part time job writing for SNL or Fallon.


1978, now I know why Willard goes by Mitt. He was probably called rat-lover.

"Please forgive me. I was a teenager in the 70's! My hair could've been a nest for an entire family of birds!"

and

"It was my Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour uniform shirt. Not kidding."


She did pick the cute guy.

Ahh, the late '70s. How did any of us survive - even those of us then married and older than her?
