The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island

The Harlem Globetrotters once visited Gilligan's Island in a 1981 tv movie. In it, the castaways have been rescued, but then returned to the island to run a resort there. The Globetrotters show up, and apparently they eventually play against a team of robots. It's finale of a Gilligan's Island TV movie trilogy.

It's performed by the human character 'David'. I've just learned from Wikipedia that the guy who played him was pretty troubled.

Vice-P-Funk


George Clinton used to be the Vice President of the United States of America.
 


Not only was he the first Vice President to die in office, but also the first Vice President to die ever. Trailblazer!
