And now Philip Maris presents Francis Langford and Lou Parker, starring in Philip Raph's humorous creation, The Pickersons, produced and broadcast transcribed from Hollywood. And now here is John Pickerson as his other self, Lou Parker.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, and good evening. Before we engage in our weekly marital bout, I'm very happy to announce that the response to Francis Langford's offer to sing songs for the GIs has been overwhelming.
Did you hear that, Francis? Yes, I did, Lou, and it's very gratifying. Well, in order to take care of the request, Franny, you're going to have to dedicate your song tonight to all the boys at the Letterman General Hospital in San Francisco.
To a man, they want to hear somebody loves me. I'd love to do it for them, Lou. So with the help of Tony Romano and his orchestra, this is for all the boys at the Letterman General Hospital.
Somebody loves somebody loves somebody loves somebody. Some are Francis Langford and Luke Parker as John and Blanche Pickerson in The Honeymoon
is over. A minor accident can sometimes be a blessing in disguise. Witness the change in John Pickerson as he ministers to poor Blanche, who is suffering from an ankle sprain. What do you want now?
Don't be short with me darling. I'm not short, I'm exhausted. What do you want? My ankle is killing me. You better call Dr. Hersey. You don't need a doctor Blanche. Your ankle will be fine once you get out of bed and walk on it.
I don't think I can walk on it, John. How do you know? You're testing. Go on, kick the cat a few times and see how it feels. Stop it. I should have called Dr. Hersey last night.
