Recordings
A recording of "There She Is, Miss America" as sung by Parks is still used each year in the Miss America contest as the new reigning titleholder takes her walk down the runway in her newly-earned crown.
Parks did a take-off of his hosting role in The Freshman (1990), starring Marlon Brando, Matthew Broderick, and Bruno Kirby. He played the emcee of a Gourmet Club dinner where guests supposedly eat a Komodo Dragon, singing a spoof of "There She Is" in a salute to the soon-to-be-deceased dragon.
Parks appeared on WKRP In Cincinnati in the 1980 episode "Herb's Dad", playing Herb Tarlek Sr. (father of series' regular Herb Tarlek Jr.). In 1988, Parks appeared on an episode of 227 as himself, and in 1991, Parks appeared on an episode of Night Court as himself.
