- Jerry Geisler and Lana Turner? (Chris Morales and Mike Mynahan). Yep, they were easy. Now for the fun part: Who are the other two people standing behind them?

Who was Irwin Berke?
–Good question. According to The Times clips, he was a producer at KCOP-TV Channel 13 and worked with an on-air personality named Tom Duggan in the late 1950s. Duggan quit KCOP after making some raw remarks on the air about Berke, George Jessel and a few other individuals. Berke plays a faculty member in the cinematic triumph “Sex Kittens Go to College.”
