They were joined by four kids who assisted each week; Sarah Kennedy (Carol), Peter Haas (Randy), Donald Fullilove (Jason) and David Jolliffe (Matthew).
Fun Fact: You may remember the magnificent David Jolliffe from his years on TV’s Room 222. Jolliffe is the man who brought the “White Guy’s ‘Fro” to television.
