8. Ah, but he did it just for laughs.
Looking at that footage these days, it doesn't seem entirely funny. But from the context of a 1950s workin' stiff, it must've been utterly hilarious.

9. I was just a kid, but thought it odd he'd don a dress...
on national TV at any excuse. I'm none too sure he did it just for laughs.

3. I fell asleep with the teevee on last night and awoke to one of those
Dean Martin video half hour sales pitch. Dino was a clown, in the good way, and those roasts were almost always funny as hell (although my mom thought I was too young, at the time, to watch them).

Made me smile.Bob Newhart, Don Rickles and Phyllis Diller were good for a howl.

:-)

Kathryn Grayson was absolutely beautiful.
Ladies of that era had a certain elegance

6. Speaking of celebrity roasts, did anyone see the roast of Jerry Stiller?
when Jeffrey Ross followed Sandra Bernhardt and said."I wouldn't f*** her with Bea Arthur's d***! I tried to find a video of it but couldn't but I did find his roast of Pamela Anderson. (Not for the faint of heart)
