Transcript

We invite you to enjoy life. Life with Luigi, a new comedy show created by Sigh Howard, and starring that celebrated actor, Mr. J. Carol Nash, with Alan Reed as the father. Luigi Basko left Italy to start his new life in America.

He promised his mother that he would ride and tell her about his adventure. So now let's read Luigi's letter, as he writes to Mama Basko in it. Is it now a little more type of America?

I'm gonna remember when I'm a first-come-a-tister I ask somebody how to go, so I'm at the loss. I'm here one year. I have to know, buddy. I get the loss by myself. Another thing, when I'm a first to come here, I think all Americans, they talk unto themselves.

Then I find out that a tuna gum. So like every American, I chew gum with two. Only one the bigger difference, I swallow it. Then I find out that you are not supposed to swallow it.

You use it to gum to place up on a chance. We cover the holes in the shoes, to keep together papers, to fill up cracks in the walls. And a lot of things. I'm very worried.

If they ever stop making a tuna gum, America is going to fall apart. Where is there nothing new to write to Mama Mia? I was very happy to read in the Ullette today that you finally received the Lilliredia Amisendio a few months ago.

Is it what they call here midgetiredia? For don't worry, salesman is telling me big people can use it too. I know you're going to enjoy this Lilliredia. What I want to think, don't let Uncle Pietro's go to get an ear.
