Mark: Coming up, tanning ace Zonker Harris. With a full report on the Fort Lauderdale sun sprints! Today on "Profiles on Parade," we're delighted to welcome tanning expert Zonker Harris. Zonker, I understand you're just back from the Fort Lauderdale sun sprints. Zonker: That's right, man. I was there competing on a Coppertone Fellowship. As part of the program, I'll also be traveling to California this summer, to study under the great tanmaster, George Hamilton at his workship in Malibu. Mark: That's quite an honor. How do you get selected for a fellowship? Zonker: Well, you have to submit a portfolio of color slides, along with affidavits from your dermatologist. Mark: Do you regard this as a career move? What sort of prospects do you face as a trained tannist? Zonker: Well Mark, there is a growing number of opportunities in the area of show tanning. But full-time employment is still pretty scarce. In fact, George himself is probably the only person to ever parlay a tan into a whole career, although he has placed several graduates from his clinic on "Hollywood Squares." Mark: That's the only show which takes tan people? Zonker: Well, it's the only one which actually pays you to be tan.
