This is the 1,000th Love Connection show recorded during the Christmas season in 1988 and featured the details of Stephen Taylor and Judy Kjos date.

Judy and her sister had an act when they were young called the 'Whipper Snappers'. They would use bull whips on stage to entertain audiences and needless to say, Stephen was on his best behavior after learning both sisters were experts with the bull whip.

UPDATE June 2023: Reading through the comments I see the question, "Are they still alive" coming up a lot. When I appeared on the show in 1988 I was 44 years old you do the math ;). In 1989 I relocated to Texas, met a wonderful lady, married in '91 and moved back to Southern California in '99. We currently live in San Diego County and are both healthy and enjoying life together I made my "Love Connection". Thanks for stopping by Stephen Taylor

After the show, Judy (Ellen Judith Kjos) and I lost contact
