Brought to you this Sunday and every Sunday at the same time as the Sunday feature of NBC's All-Star Festival And here is your hostess, the glamorous, unpredictable Toulula Bankhead Hello darlings, yesterday the producer of this show told me that I had been mistreating our guest stars, that I was insulting, belligerent, rough and tough.
Well, I've come to the conclusion that he's right, and I'm gonna tell him so when he gets out of the hospital. From now on, I know what I'll do. Every time I find myself losing my temper, I'll remember this little motto.
One, two, think it through. Three, four, don't get sore. Five, six, never mix. Seven, eight, hesitate. Nine, ten friends again. This isn't that sweet. I found it on the back of a box of the loaves, this oatmeal place I've ever eaten.

Well, I'll get it over here. Well, me? I said at all, Merman. Was that you saying all those nice things about me? That's right, darling. Well, cut it out. Why? Because I now have to say nice things about you, and I'm not that good an actress.
