Morgan Freeman's Easy Reader
Yep, that's 2010 Oscar-nominee Morgan Freeman as rhyming 'n' dancing "Easy Reader" on the old educational TV show The Electric Company.
His song and dance partner there is Oscar/Tony/Emmy/Grammy winner Rita Moreno. As you can clearly see, the 1970s were preternaturally groovy.
Morgan Freeman went on from there to be the president of the United States (Deep Impact), God (Bruce Almighty) and Nelson Mandela (Invictus).

Whew -- memory lane.Props to Morgan and Rita for throwing themselves into some pretty wacky lines (and lyrics). Not to mention Freeman's Jimi Hendrix costume. Is it me, or are the production values wayyy off? They can't seem to time the flashing words right when Moreno is talking with the big screen ("Stanley"?)... and nobody can be bothered to look into the camera.
