slated to perform on "The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson,
and that initial appearance was selected for Carson's prime time"Anniversary
Special". Years of national and international TV appearances followed.

variety acts of all time. He performs a 25-35 minute

"One of this year's most entertaining
additions is juggler Dan Menendez, a rubber-faced comedian who applies
his juggling skills to a holiday pops format. For a moment Wednesday,
it seemed as if he would get into a fistfight with a couple of ISO violinists,
as the juggler went about collecting fiddles to toss skyward. And wait
until you see what he can do with a cello."
