[edit] Talk Show Host

_ _ I'm not sure Billy Crystal's sendup needs mentioning, but that article says

His most famous recurring sketch was his parody of Fernando Lamas, a smarmy talkshow host whose catch phrase, "You look mahvelous!" became a media sensation.

and it seems like that and his over notability would combine to make the talk-show thing encyclopedic, even if only Crystal remembers it.
_ _ But i've rewrit that as i understand it to be intended:

His most famous recurring sketch was his parody of Fernando Lamas. Crystal's "Fernando" is a smarmy talkshow host whose catch phrase, "You look mahvelous!" became a media sensation.

and now i notice that not only the smarminess, but also the talk show, lacks clear attribution to Lamas. Research needed!
