Ringo Starr on the John Davidson Show 1980





Ringo, Barbara Bach and John Matuszac sit down with John Davidson to promote their new movie Caveman in 1980. John Davidson has a difficult trying to conduct the interview. The intros and outros that John Davidson does were not normally part of the program. It appears they had to edit the interview to make it appropriate for air. Karen Grassle (Caroline on Little House on the Prairie) and Andy Gibb were also guests that day and hung around for Ringo.
