Here’s a fun bit of footage from one of the many M*A*S*H blooper reels that have been floating around for decades. David Ogden Stiers got a surprise for his birthday during filming of an episode I can’t identify: a singing telegram and a kiss.
The cast and crew also sing “Happy Birthday” to Stiers, who removes his mask (at the urging of Jamie Farr) and jokingly tells everyone to get back to work.
Warning: The video contains profanity.
If anyone knows more about this birthday surprise for David Ogden Stiers, please let me know. And if you can tell which episode this is from, I’d love to know.
