I can't believe I found this...too bad I couldn't find the whole episode! This is Leif Garrett performing in a "CHiPs" episode called "Roller Disco." I remember the ending of this episode featured a lot of cameos from celebrities. You'll see Alison Arngrim in the crowd at :10, :50, & 3:30 (along with 2 of the girls from 'Eight is Enough'). You'll also see a lot of celebrities from back in the "good ol' days." Melissa Sue Anderson & Victor French also made cameos in this episode, but unfortunately they're not in the crowd scenes.
There's also a 'mystery person' with a bag over his/her head at 2:37...

I wonder if that mystery person was the Unknown Comic from the Gong Show. Anyone else old enough to remember that?

Hey, could've been! I remember "The Gong Show" but have forgotten all about the Unknown Comic. I think you're right, Rob!

Hey Rob, turns out you were right! I posted this video on Alison's FB page, and she just told me that was the unknown comic!
She also told me they shot this on separate days...Leif's performance was shot one day, and the crowd shot on another day...so they weren't really dancing to that song. The dialogue between the actors was also shot on a different day.

I have to delete the YouTube links since the video clips were deleted.

Those are great pictures, thanks!
It's very hard to find much of 'CHiPs' on youtube...whoever owns the rights to that show won't allow any of it posted on youtube. I'm surprised that video w/Leif is still up there! They also only have the first 2 seasons out on DVD, and season 3 is my favorite (is when I started to watch back then). Very hard show to get...no reruns anymore either!
