There actually was one RMT show where triplets were mentioned...it was one of the RMT's anti-gambling shows (in this era that seems so quaint, yet so satisfying to know that they did so), one which featured Paul Hecht as an out-of-control horse bettor who was on the brink of losing his wife and everything else.

It's got a happy ending (even though it seemed a bit unlikely)...if only I could remember which one it is...
