...gotten me jobs." Among actors who might be on any producer's list: Orson Welles, an epic creator who is known to the television generation as the butt of Johnny Carson's fat jokes; William Conrad, TV's Nero Wolfe; Raymond Burr, old Ironside; and Burt Young, the Gibraltar of Rocky.

Johnny Carson calls this movie "an industrial-strength laxative." He should know-for The Cannonball Run is like the Tonight show on wheels, full of Carson regulars poking fun at their TV-bred images. Burt Reynolds outsmarts the smokeys; Farrah Fawcett sounds like a Barbie doll who's swallowed helium; Sammy Davis Jr. flashes his Chiclets; Jamie Farr does Arab jokes; Dean Martin gooses Dom DeLuise. Reynolds avers that this will be his last redneck rollicker. Wanna bet?
