Default Neil Armstrong foils Stan Freberg

This is not a new interview, but it's one I only ran across
today -- a 1999 Onion AV Club interview with comic star Stan Freberg:

http://www.avclub.com/content/node/22965

The on-topic part to it: CBS's plan to fill the four hours of
scheduled rest time before Armstrong and Aldrin would have set foot
on the moon was to include bits from Orson Welles, Ray Bradbury, and
they had Stan Freberg ready to do a humorous bit with his puppet
Orville, the little space man from the moon.

He did bits of what *would* have been shown in that block later
for The Tonight Show, but it was lost when the videotapes were wiped.
