Carol Channing

In the early 80's, Carol Channing checked in to the hotel for the night.

She called the lobby for Ted's assistance and he was soon outside her room. He knocked on the door and it swung easily open--it had been left open a crack. Miss Channing called to Ted to come in and shut the door behind him. Turning back from the shut door, Ted was faced with Carol Channing standing before him in a hotel robe. He nervously looked away toward the wall. Carol let the robe drop to the floor, revealing her aged body in bra and underwear. Ted looked up and then to the other wall. Carol stepped between Ted's eyes and the wall. She then circled Ted, slowly, where he stood.

"Can I get you anything?" Ted asked.

"That will be all," she said.

Full House

When Ted was 21 years old, his girlfriend's father was the owner of the biggest home-security company in the country, possibly in the world. This home-security company owner left town on a business trip and asked the young couple to stop by his house on Saturday to open the blinds in the front windows as a television crew was going to be shooting the exterior of the house for a new television series.

Ted and his girlfriend decided to skip the blinds and headed to the beach to fool around, and since the TV crew couldn't get into the locked-down house they ended up shooting the scenes with the blinds shut.

Evidence of Ted's shenanigans can be seen in the opening credits before every episode of what would become the wildly popular Full House (for a split second at 1:18 the blinds in the window are clearly shut).

Sidenote: this girlfriend is the same one who later bit off the tip of Ted's nose when he broke up with her. She was the only redhead he ever dated and the only girl with double-D sized breasts. "A fiery one!"

Dixie Carter

Dixie Carter, best known as Julia Sugarbaker from the television hit, Designing Women, stayed at Ted's hotel in San Francisco for two weeks in 1989. She was joined by her husband, Hal Holbrook, for the first couple of nights, but as soon as he headed back to Los Angeles, Carter set her eyes on Ted.

The first time he came up to her room, Dixie looked him up and down with a naughty smile and said, "Hello, bellman. You'd make a good project."

Ted was called up to her room often during her stay, his usual duty being her personal dressing assistant. This involved choosing her outfit for the day and literally dressing her as she stood, arms out, like a child. Dixie offerred to bring Ted back with her to LA, to take care of him and to make him a star. This was the first time he heard the term "Sugar-Mama."

Last week, on April 10th, Dixie Carter passed away.

Ted truly feels like a part of himself died that day too.
