Fans discuss Michael Richards' appearances on the 1970s ABC sketch comedy show 'Fridays,' clarifying that he did not play the hallucinating pharmacist character as the original poster remembered.
Remember the ABC show "Fridays" that Michael Richards was on? I only remember it vaguely, but the one recurring skit I remember featured a pharmacist who had obviously been sampling his own wares. It would show him hallucinating, ducking to avoid flying objects that only he could see, and occasionally saying to the customer, "Take a pill! Take a pill!"
I think that was Michael Richards. Can anyone confirm this?

Then I guess you would know the name of this character, right Michael?

I have never even heard of that show but found a link somewhere and it looked really funny. Even thought it was aired around the time I was born. Can I download some full episodes or clips of this show? it sounds really funny.

If you happen to find episodes of Fridays to download please post here.
There is a very infamous episode, guest starring Andy Kaufman, where he and Richards nearly come to blows.

I saw that recently. They are in a restaurant scene and Kaufman kept improvising, thus pissing off Richards.
That was odd to watch.

IIRC, it was part of Kaufman's act and Richards was in on it.

As I recall, Kaufman struck a deal with the producer to go off script throughout the whole show as a gag. None of the cast were aware of this deal which is what sparked Richards's anger.
I'm not totally sure if that is what actually happened. But that's how I heard it.

Was Melanie Chartoff ever on an episode of Seinfeld... it feels like she was.
Anybody ever remember a Fridays skit called "Enter the Motzhoi"?
