The song of Connie Haines, Billy Gray and Little Matilda, the famous cartoon character Bugs Bunny. Tonight's guest, Metro Golden Mayor star of Marriage is a private affair, Miss Manhattan and starring, but avid and this way for the avid Costello show.

Tickets please. See the avid Costello show. Really folks, it's a good show. Won't somebody please come in? Come on, Mr. McPherson. The Costello Show. Really folks, it's a good show. Won't somebody please come in?

Personally, I don't care if Costello never shows up. All last season, he did nothing but insult me. But Mrs. Miles, don't tell me you're carrying a grudge for a year. Well, why not? I've got a sister I haven't spoken to in 20 years.

You took a shower with your shirt, Saksin' underwear on, what's the idea? You know a quicker way to get your laundry done. Oh, no. Oh, Kenneth, did you hear that joke? Yes, dear. There will now be a slight pause for station fumigation.
