Transcript

Welcome to The Big Show. This is Jimmy Wallington. Welcoming you to The Big Show. A star studded extravaganza sent your way with the best wishes of each and every top name on the show. And here is your hostess for the next half hour.

The glamorous, unpredictable, Talula Bankhead. You know that week when we had the most handsome, divine man on the show. And then again, there's this week. But we're always delighted to have with us a young comedian who really knows his job.

When you give him a script, he gets the meat out of every line. He's always on the ball. What I'm trying to say is he's a real meatball jackpot. But I asked her if I was clever.

If I was clever, I wouldn't be on this show. Man, he's a big one, isn't he? I told all you, Jack. Six feet, three in my stocking feet. Oh, what are you without your stocking?

Barefoot. No, how tall are you, really, Jack? Well, now, it's a little bit... maybe this will explain it. Lana Turner only comes up to my shoulder. Ginger Rogers can only come up to my chin.

How about me, darling? You can come up to my house. I'd rather join. I don't know if a better way. Were you always this tall? No, no, not when I was born. But I think I was only a medium-sized child.

When I was 15 years old, I grew an extra foot. Well, that must have been pretty rough on your parents buying three shoes at a time. No matter if I can, my parents were quite wealthy.

When I went to college, I didn't even go out for basketball. I didn't need the money. Don't change the subject, Jack. But you saying you dance, I'm surprised you've never been in a play on Broadway.
