Speaker 4: you happy.
Speaker 2: By all right. What's the next one?
Speaker 3: Well, you know, perhaps the most popular Christmas novelty song
Speaker 3: in history was rooted off The Red Nose Reindeer. It's
Speaker 3: a song that helped make the Great Cowboys star Gry
Speaker 3: a multi millionaire. This is the song Rudolph, but it's
Speaker 3: not by Gene Autry. It's by one of my favorite
Speaker 3: entertainer's gang. Who is it?
Speaker 5: You know, Dan Scharen, Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Commen
Speaker 5: and Cupid and Donoran Glitzen.
Speaker 2: But do you recall.
Speaker 5: The most famous rain deer of all?
Speaker 2: No, not Umbriaco.
Speaker 5: It was who down the red nose reindeer had of
Speaker 5: a resining note. And if you have a slant you
Speaker 5: would even say it you lose all of the the
Speaker 5: raindeer used to laugh and call him name, gain them
Speaker 5: vlepoo rue du join in and the rain days. Then
Speaker 5: one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to save Blue delph
Speaker 5: with your notes so.
Speaker 6: Bright, won't shoot guy my slave tonight?
Speaker 5: Then how the rain dear loved him as they shouted out,
Speaker 5: Wiggy Rude, down the red nose rain do you you'll
Speaker 5: go down in history?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: Not too tough on this one, old buddy, huh, too tough.
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna make it stretch out a bit more
Speaker 2: because I'm right at the time to take my first break.
Speaker 2: So Gary in Wooburn, you'll get your chance to take
Speaker 2: a swing at that one. Once we come back from
Speaker 2: the break. There's one open line anyone else wants to

Speaker 2: who would have been next hung up. He didn't want
Speaker 2: to take the easy one. So Randy in Illinois, you'll

Speaker 9: Howard, Fine, and Dorita.
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, Wait a minute, we want the first
Speaker 3: and last names. Scary, Okay, start.
Speaker 4: What was it?
Speaker 3: Say it again? Slowly, let me absorb. Say it again?
Speaker 3: But I didn't say it again? Yeah?
Speaker 9: Are you fine?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got it? Way to go Gary. I thought
Speaker 3: the tough part would be the Joe Dorita, where a
Speaker 3: lot of people would have said curly Howard or shamp Howard.
Speaker 3: But you got it Bell, way to go.
Speaker 9: Well. The reason why I said Joe Dorina is this
Speaker 9: is because Joe Bess's voice is definitely distinct. You can
Speaker 9: definitely know that, you know absolutely and Shemp. It definitely
Speaker 9: could have been Shep, There's no question. But Joe Derita,
Speaker 9: I have one question to you guys before I go.
Speaker 9: You guys do your holidays, do the comedians and so forth.
Speaker 9: But Morgan, why not overload yourself with Mel when you
Speaker 9: have shows like you talked two hours about old time
Speaker 9: entertainment and what was Vegas like way back when? And
Speaker 9: all the celebrities that Mel has bumped into and worked
Speaker 9: with through the years, including you talking at the same time.
Speaker 9: That would be a wonderful show. Because Mel is not
Speaker 9: on enough.
Speaker 2: He's on twice this month. What do you mean he's
Speaker 2: not long enough.
Speaker 9: That's not on long enough?
Speaker 2: Tell you what Mel will be on the first Saturday
Speaker 2: in February. We will do what you suggest.
Speaker 3: How's that three hours starting in February?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 9: Is talk about full time entertainment, all the celebrities that
Speaker 9: you've known all through the years, Mel, Every time I
Speaker 9: hear a story about you talking about Rodney Dangerfield, about
Speaker 9: the drugs and just this one and that one Shirley Jones.
Speaker 9: And before I go go, what was the most most
Speaker 9: generous celebrity of charity that you work with?
Speaker 3: Mel?
Speaker 9: Or at least new take it for there.
Speaker 3: I'll give you I'll give you two names. It's kind
Speaker 3: of a tie between two very famous people that I loved.
Speaker 3: I loved both his entertainers and his people. One was
Speaker 3: Milton Burrell and the other one was Bob Elliott of
Speaker 3: Bob and Ray. Those were my two absolute favorites.
Speaker 9: And what did they like?
Speaker 2: Charity?
Speaker 3: I like your suggestion, Gary Morgan, let's talk about that
Speaker 3: during the week I think it's an excellent idea.
Speaker 2: I'm going to do it this way. The first hour
Speaker 2: of that night, we will do what Gary suggested, only
Speaker 2: talk about celebrities, okay, behind backstories, behind the stage stories,
Speaker 2: celebrities that you've met, celebrities that I have met, and
Speaker 2: then we'll do the two hours of the audio clip
Speaker 2: drivia quiz.
Speaker 3: So, Gary, how does that sound? I think that's a
Speaker 3: great idea.
Speaker 9: The more mel Seimons is on, and I don't care
Speaker 9: if you're on every weekend, how can anybody ever be
Speaker 9: bored by you? Forget about trivia. It's awesome, But what
Speaker 9: you and Moregan are talking about old time entertainment and
Speaker 9: old time radio shows, anything entertainment of old school. Because
Speaker 9: all the people are out there and let's face it,
Speaker 9: the average age on this show is in between fifty
Speaker 9: and older that listen, and I'm sure they would all appreciate,
Speaker 9: especially the women out there.
Speaker 2: You got your wish. How's that?
Speaker 4: Gary?
Speaker 3: Thank you so much, great idea, and I will look
Speaker 3: forward to the February show.
Speaker 2: Excellent, all right, carry happy holiday extra.
Speaker 3: And he got the right answer. It was Mo Howard,
Speaker 3: Larry Fine, and Curly, Joe Dorita. Incidentally, Joe do Rita.
Speaker 3: I don't know how you feel about it. Morgan was
Speaker 3: my least favorite of all the stooges.
Speaker 2: If there were three more other people that came in,
Speaker 2: he would be below them.
Speaker 3: I just thought he was in nothing. I mean, I
Speaker 3: could think of so many other people. Amo Sitker I
Speaker 3: thought would have made a great third third stooge.
Speaker 2: Well he was called a third stooge obviously after Shimp.
Speaker 2: Curly came in, then Chimp, then uh Joe Besser, then Curley,
Speaker 2: Joe de Rida.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, that's right. That was that was the force
Speaker 3: of Yeah, you're right, But of all the people that
Speaker 3: played the stooges, Joe Dorita just never did it for
Speaker 3: me personally. How do you feel about it?
Speaker 2: All? He didn't have the magic.
Speaker 3: Totally, a lack of magic. As you put it, you
Speaker 3: need to have the magic all right, totally the stooges.
Speaker 3: Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow with
Speaker 3: an appropriate song for for the weather that we have
Speaker 3: been having. One of my favorite television personalities sings this song,
Speaker 3: would you name him? Please?
Speaker 1: All the weather aroundside is frightful, but the fire is
Speaker 1: so delightful.
Speaker 6: And since we've no place to go, let it snow.

Speaker 2: and Mel, I give you credit, you find the most
Speaker 2: incredible material to play.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been very, very lucky finding unusual things. I
Speaker 3: go to all the records, record sales, you know, the
Speaker 3: people believed records, and ninety nine or nine tenths of
Speaker 3: them looking for old rock and roll records. I'm looking
Speaker 3: for ridiculous things like people singing that are not known
Speaker 3: as singing. And that's where I pick up a lot
Speaker 3: of my stuff at these record shows.
Speaker 2: All right, well, let's try Tom in Buffalo. Tom the
Speaker 2: identity please of the person who's saying, Oh.

Speaker 3: great records over the years. I always remember behave him
Speaker 3: appearing in Boston at the Frolics. You Morgan, you remember
Speaker 3: the old Frolics wrisa Beach, No, I do not. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was an old night club who was there for
Speaker 3: years and it seems that half of everything that Jerry
Speaker 3: Vale did in those days was at the frolics and
Speaker 3: just a lovely gentleman. I had the pleasure meeting him
Speaker 3: several times, and the heck of a singer.
Speaker 9: And you know he was at the Town Casino on
Speaker 9: Buffalo a couple of times too.
Speaker 3: Did you see him, Tom, did you see him perform?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 9: No, no, no, But my parents saw him a couple
Speaker 9: of times.
Speaker 3: Oh, I see. He usually drew pretty well, especially the
Speaker 3: Italian gang would come see him and half of us
Speaker 3: ACTI singing Italian songs, and he was suggested he did.
Speaker 2: All right. I gotta cut it now because news is next,
Speaker 2: But Tom, thank you for the call.
Speaker 3: You too, Tom, Happy holidays.
Speaker 2: Bye bye, and Mel. We have one open line. We'll
Speaker 2: get back the full lines as soon as someone takes
Speaker 2: that one line. I've gotta move for news, but we
