Are we ready to start in there as a tape rolling? We're making this on a tape recording. And that's why we have to stop the footage. Bam, bam! Talkback works too. CBS now invites you to enjoy a life with Luigi.

Yes, it's life with Luigi, a comedy show created by Sigh Howard, written and directed by Lou Derman, and starring that celebrated actor Mr. J. Carol Nash with Alan Reid as Pasquale.

And now, let's look in on that little antique shop in Chicago, where Luigi Basko is writing another letter, describing his adventures in America to his mom, a Basko in Italy. Excuse me, Mom, I mean, if I didn't write to you this week, but you know, even if I don't write, I'm always thinking about you.

Pasquale knows this and he calls me, Mom, as a boy. But I would write to be, Mom, as a boy, then I'd roast as a husband. Ah, mama mia, you should have seen Pascuali. For the last couple of weeks, he's a bother me terrible to marry his fat daughter, Rosie.

Oh, oh, oh. It tells me it's a good for my income tax, because then I get to put down one dependent. But the mama mia, it's like marrying the elephant to save money on the peanut, sir.

But the mama mia, this morning I was a dutten off of my statues in my antique shop, when it suddenly my door is open up. I always eat. Hello, Mr. Post office. Hey, you got a letter from me, Post office.

You got a letter from my mom in here? What I dare show my face in here if I didn't. Oh, thanks. Thank you so much. Hey, you know, Mr. Post office, she only writes me a letter when she can find a copiatro, and he only writes when he can find his eyeglasses.
