The tension between Evel Knievel and NFL pretty-boy Lance Rentzel nearly comes to a boiling point on TV's Merv Griffin Show.
Motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel and Dallas Cowboy Lance Rentzel nearly go to blows over the football player's uber-hot wife, Joey Heatherton.
Accused of "inappropriate" gestures aimed at the football star's wife, Evel winds-up but, calm is restored when the country singer and future sausage king, Jimmy Dean ("Smoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette") steps between them.
Also appearing with Evel, Lance, Jimmy and Joey this Wednesday afternoon are the comedian Woody Allen, singer Abbe Lane and The Sunny Girls of Sweden.
