The concept was simple: Jeff Altman serves as 'interpreter' for the two ladies, which meant 'translating' (upstaging) their songs and talking oriental gibberish to his two confused co-stars in an attempt explain American culture. They interact with the guest stars - then at the end of the show, they all jump into a hot tub together.

'Pink Lady' did so poorly on the first Saturday night outing that the very next week it was moved to Friday nights and retitled Pink Lady and Jeff with Jim ('Ernest') Varney joining the cast. After the series was mercifully canceled, the Pink Ladies went back to Japan, and Jeff Altman went on to host the last few seasons of 'Solid Gold'.

I never got to see this

The whole series (including one unaired episode) is on DVD from Rhino home video. I watched episodes 1 & 2 and it was harder to get through than Les Vampires. The whole show is spent attempting to justify Pink Lady having their own variety show. It's amazing.

I had the dubious distinction of actually watching Pink Lady and Jeff when it actually aired. It was formative.

During the very last season of SNL to feature any of the original cast, there was a skecth called Pink Lady and Carl, featuring if I recall correctly, Jane Curtin and Loraine Newman as Pink Lady and Harry Shearer as Carl Sagan.

It was fucking hysterical. Brian Doyle Murray waas also in the mostly overlooked and I think never syndicated season.
