This is a video report called "TV Replay".  It talks about Melissa's 
appearance yesterday (2013-05-31) on 'Live with Kelly and Michael' 
(formerly 'Live with Regis and Kelly', formerly 'Live with Regis and 
Kathie Lee'), and includes a brief clip (shown during the talk show 
appearance) of Melissa's (purported *) TV "acting debut", 'The 
Adventures of Con Sawyer and Hucklemary Finn' (1985).

There's now quite a bit more info available online about this ABC 
Weekend Special than when I first added it to my "MJHTV" pages:

online, since it's a syndicated show.

Apparently she was also on Bravo's 'Watch What Happens Live' on Tue,

(*) According to her early-1996 resume, she was also a "series regular" 
on 'The Lucie Arnaz Show', which supposedly debuted in April 1985, and 
which was "short lived" according to Wikipedia.  So that might have 
actually been before the 'Con Sawyer' thing -- no idea what her part on 
the show was, though.  And her 'Saturday Night Live' appearances, 
although almost certainly all non-speaking, happened in late 1984 and 
early 1985.  So....
