Judice is one of the Maharelle Sisters from the Finger Lakes that appears on the Lawrence Welk (Fred Armisen) Show opposite some famous singer. Sketches include Inside the NBA, Remembrances and The Lawrence Welk Show. The Lawrence Welk Show has enough pop culture cachet to still be spoofed on Saturday Night Live, but it's worth noting that regardless of the corniness, the “champagne music” performed still boasted impressive musicianship.

If as Huey Lewis claimed, it really is hip to be square, then The Lawrence Welk Show was the hippest show on TV.
