Does anyone remember this tv special?

Its called "Redeye Express" by Sid and Marty Kroft and it aired once on cbs in 1987,,i was lucky enough to get a copy. The premise is that ron reagan (yes the presidents son) owns this nightclub where all these puppet versions of celebrities show up. No,,im not thinking of DC Follies (which had a similar premise) either,,this was a seperate show altogether.

I think I know what your talking about. I remember it from my childhood remember flipping the channels and seeing puppets and staying on the channel and watching it.
I remember it had a puppet of Sylvester stallone with a toy gun I think but its been a long time. I wish I could find pictures of it. also did they have a puppet of Ronald Reagan?

I vaguely remember this. I didn't really get into it, though, because I always felt it was a direct rip off of Spitting Image (the UK series that used puppets that looked like famous people, and did a far better job at it.)
