Good
evening folks!
Rodrigo
Araya 4:56 PM
Hiya,
Jackson! Happy New Year!
4:57
Phil!
It's January the 12th!
4:57
I
know, but how would I know I'd sleep for 12 days!
Tom
V. 4:57 PM
Happy
New Year and Good evening everyone!
Rodrigo
Araya 4:58 PM
It
took Alice 10 buckets of ice to wake me up!
4:58
Gee,
Phil! Sounds like some New Year's bash!
R.
Hookie 4:59 PM
Sorry,
half asleep... trying to adjust to possible new work hours... It ain't working.
brad_strickland 4:59
PM
Hi
ho, Laura!
R.
Hookie 5:00 PM
Hi
Brad
brad_strickland 5:01
PM
Just
got in from a day trip to NC to visit friends and relatives. I was afraid I'd
miss the checkin.,
Laura
Leibowitz 5:01 PM
Hi
folks!
R.
Hookie 5:01 PM
Hi
Laura
Tom
V. 5:01 PM
Hi
Laura!
Laura
Leibowitz 5:01 PM
Nope,
you're just in time, Brad
brad_strickland 5:02
PM
I
may be incoherent. We had thunder last night, and our noise-sensitve dog kept
waking me up about every hour. Then six hours of driving.....
R.
Hookie 5:02 PM
I
know that feeling
brad_strickland 5:02
PM
Of
course, Brad coherent isn't that different from Brad incoherent. Maybe if I
don't tuck in my shirt no one will notice.
R.
Hookie 5:03 PM
Are
you tucked?
brad_strickland 5:03
PM
More
tuckered, but that's another story. Yeah, I'm casual now.
5:04
I
need to get me one of them there little old avatars.
Laura
Leibowitz 5:04 PM
Hi
Tom!
brad_strickland 5:05
PM
Hi,
Tom!
Rodrigo
Araya 5:05 PM
At
least it wasn't "Hank, the All-Night Disc.Jockey" who woke you up!
brad_strickland 5:05
PM
Hi,
Rodrigo!
Tom
V. 5:05 PM
Hi
Brad!
Laura
Leibowitz 5:05 PM
Rodrigo
- Well done!
brad_strickland 5:05
PM
My
brother used to be an all-night DJ.
Rodrigo
Araya 5:06 PM
Was
he sponsored by a tailor by any chance?
Laura
Leibowitz 5:06 PM
I
used to be an all-night DJ. But it was for easy listening, so kinda different
than Hank.
brad_strickland 5:06
PM
No,
he was sponsored by a Baptist church. Of course, no self-respecting Baptist
stays up past ten, so it was coals to Newcastle.
R.
Hookie 5:06 PM
I
may be done with the all-night as of now
Laura
Leibowitz 5:07 PM
Hookie
- You OK with that?
Tom
V. 5:07 PM
I
was a DJ when I was a young guy 30 years ago! Adult contemporary, country and
then Oldies.
R.
Hookie 5:07 PM
Well,
I go in at Noon tomorrow until the studio goes dark for the last time... then go
downtown
Rodrigo
Araya 5:08 PM
Apparently,
there was an actual "Hank, the All-Night DJ" in L.A. during the late
1940s and early 50s.
brad_strickland 5:08
PM
Tripper
(dog) has sort of recovered from the fireworks of Christmas Eve, Christmas, New
Year's Eve, and Robert E. Lee's birthday, anyway. No sleep for me on those
nights.
Laura
Leibowitz 5:08 PM
That
makes sense. Like the inspiration for the "Anaheim, Azusa, and
Cucamonga" was an announcer who did the frost warnings when George Balzer
was growing up.
R.
Hookie 5:09 PM
Cuc...amonga
Laura
Leibowitz 5:09 PM
Brad
- You know Ford has created a "sound cave" for dogs who are afraid of
fireworks?
brad_strickland 5:09
PM
Gee,
that sounds kind of sad, Hookie. Put "The Load-Out" on your music
player for mood as the studio goes dark.
Laura
Leibowitz 5:09 PM
Hookie
- That has to be very bittersweet.
5:09
Last
one out the door, please turn off the lights. Makes me think of NBC moving out
of beautiful downtown Burbank.
brad_strickland 5:10
PM
Laura--No,
haven't heard that. Tripper has a thunderjacket and a very quiet basement (where
I am now--that's where my office is) to retreat to, but the trouble is I have to
be there, too.
R.
Hookie 5:10 PM
It's
like I'll be sitting there killing off an old friend, before heading to the new
digs
Laura
Leibowitz 5:10 PM
Brad
- I'll look it up and send you the link. No idea of the price, but at least you
can know.
5:11
OK...shall
we get the show going?
brad_strickland 5:11
PM
Thanks,
Laura! I appreciate that. Ready to go here.
Rodrigo
Araya 5:12 PM
Well,
I was reading some JB-related books that were recently uploaded on the FB page.
Laura
Leibowitz 5:12 PM
OK,
comparing radio and TV again this month...grab the popcorn!
R.
Hookie 5:12 PM
Double
feature?!!!
Laura
Leibowitz 5:12 PM
Yepper!
By request!

hey
folks, sorry I am late
michael_amowitz 5:56
PM
Coming!
Coming! Sorry, I'm a little late, folks!
Laura
Leibowitz 6:08 PM
Hi
Michael!
6:08
Hi
Kathy!
R.
Hookie 6:08 PM
That
was fun!
michael_amowitz 6:08
PM
Hi,
recovering from the bathing suit sale
Laura
Leibowitz 6:08 PM
LOL
brad_strickland 6:08
PM
I
owe you for renewing my subscription to the JB Times. I'll make a note to pay
up.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:08 PM
So
thoughts on those?
R.
Hookie 6:08 PM
I
like the double features!
brad_strickland 6:08
PM
Hi,
Kathy!
Rodrigo
Araya 6:08 PM
The
"three-legged elephant" joke reminds me of those raffles where the
first prize is a pig without a leg.
6:08
No
points for guessing second prize.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:08 PM
Brad
- Sounds good. My next order of business after the chat is to get the paper
copies ready to go in the mail.
Tom
V. 6:08 PM
Love
the double features as well.
michael_amowitz 6:08
PM
Hi
LL! Hookie, your radio station is closing down?
Laura
Leibowitz 6:09 PM
Rodrigo
- Had you seen the television version previously?
R.
Hookie 6:09 PM
My
TV station has new owners and we're moving in with our new sister station
1
michael_amowitz 6:09
PM
I
missed the first; I was running a little late
brad_strickland 6:10
PM
"That
thar pig once saved my son. He fell in the well, and the pig was so smart, he
run to the house and fetched a rope and pulled him out. Mighty smart pig."
"But why has he only got three legs?" "Mister, you don't eat a
pig like that all at once!"
Rodrigo
Araya 6:10 PM
Yes.
It was the radio version I didn't listen,
Laura
Leibowitz 6:10 PM
Oh
gotcha! I was thinking you were focusing on the radio series first.
R.
Hookie 6:10 PM
Our
old control room goes off tomorrow afternoon.
6:11
The
leg in the radio version was funnier... the sight gag didn't work for me.
Rodrigo
Araya 6:11 PM
Actually,
I watch one TV episode (at random) on Saturday evenings, while on Sundays, I
listen to the radio episodes (will be listening to the 43-44 season beginning in
April).
Laura
Leibowitz 6:11 PM
Sounds
like a good weekend...
Rodrigo
Araya 6:12 PM
In
fact, I was listening to the Dec. 6, 42 episode.
6:12
The
one where Phil left for the Marines.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:12 PM
Ah
yes...Phil and the band!
6:13
Better
to have them in the merchant marines than get drafted to go overseas one by one.
brad_strickland 6:13
PM
In
1925, if memory serves, at Cornell University people were startled to find the
clear prints of a large animal in the snow, leading out onto Bebe Lake, where
the ice had a huge hole in it. A biologist identified the tracks as those of a
rhino. The people were alarmed because the lake was a source of drinking water.
A dead rhino in their water? Turned out a couple of students had made the track
with two ropes and a rhinoceros-leg umbrella stand.
Rodrigo
Araya 6:13 PM
Out
of all of the guest bands that filled in, I think Abe Lyman was the best one.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:13 PM
Kathy
- You still here?
6:13
Rodrigo
- Better than Benny Goodman?
brad_strickland 6:14
PM
I
just listened to a NY show with Lyman from 1937. He was funny.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:14 PM
Abe
Lyman pretty much takes over Don Bestor's character, but tougher and not as
educated
Rodrigo
Araya 6:15 PM
Just
a matter of taste. I do like B.G.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:15 PM
Fair
nuff
6:15
What
other thoughts on the shows, or anything Benny-related?
Rodrigo
Araya 6:15 PM
Lessee...
michael_amowitz 6:16
PM
Just
glad to get here
Laura
Leibowitz 6:16 PM
Always
glad to have you here, Michael!
R.
Hookie 6:16 PM
I
had fun tonight
Laura
Leibowitz 6:16 PM
Excellent,
as it should be!
6:16
Thoughts
for next month's show?
brad_strickland 6:17
PM
Well,
February is Jack's birthday month.
R.
Hookie 6:17 PM
Any
birthday shows?
Laura
Leibowitz 6:17 PM
I
knew someone had to say it
Rodrigo
Araya 6:17 PM
Just
to close the Lyman angle, even in his 43 stint there were mentions of him being
a cabbie. That's some good continuity.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:17 PM
Actually,
what about the show for Dennis' birthday, just to mix it up a bit? Where Jack is
throwing him a surprise party?
michael_amowitz 6:18
PM
That
sounds fine
R.
Hookie 6:18 PM
Sounds
good
brad_strickland 6:18
PM
That
would be great. It's been a while.
Tom
V. 6:18 PM
Valentine's
Day related shows?
Laura
Leibowitz 6:18 PM
Rodrigo
- In--I think it's a birthday episode--in 1954, Jack says something about Kenny
Baker!
Rodrigo
Araya 6:18 PM
Jack
made a show on Feb. 13, 1944, just before his 50th birthday.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:19 PM
Shhh...don't
blow Jack's cover!
6:19
He's
39!
Rodrigo
Araya 6:19 PM
There
was an episode where Jack attempted to get a replacement sponsor in case Luckies
didn't pick up his option.
6:20
He
called up Canada Dry, General Tire and Jell-O.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:20 PM
Not
Chevrolet?
6:20
Would
be a heckuva product placement...
brad_strickland 6:21
PM
I
just recently learned that the Frankie Remley character on the Phil Harris/Alice
Faye radio show became Elliott Lewis (the hard-working radio writer, actor,
director, etc), the name of the actor who played Frankie on the radio, becauxe
the show changed networks. On the transition show, "Frankie" tells a
confused Phil, "My real name's Elliott Lewis. I just use Frankie Remley as
a stage name." The real reason was that NBC had the rights to the character
name, and now they were on CBS....
Rodrigo
Araya 6:21 PM
Apparently,
Jack and Chevy didn't part too gently. Graeme Cree's site notes that one
interview had Jack saying in an interview he jumped from Canada Dry to General
Tire.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:22 PM
Actually,
Jack had the rights to the character name!
6:22
Gee,
wish Kathy was here now to add more detail to that.
brad_strickland 6:22
PM
Ah,
so the announcer on XM-Sirius misled me. I feel like I've been following a fake
rhino.
michael_amowitz 6:22
PM
I
never thought about that, Brad!
Laura
Leibowitz 6:22 PM
And
Phil stayed on NBC.
6:23
NBC
was kind of buttering him up that they were going to make him the "next
Jack Benny" with all their loss of talent from Paley's raid.
Rodrigo
Araya 6:23 PM
Phil
wasn't the first one to have to cross the street to get from CBS to NBC.
brad_strickland 6:23
PM
So
Jack, at CBS, had the rights to Frankie, and Phil, who stayed at NBC, had to
settle for Elliott . . . but the character didn't change at all.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:23 PM
Brad
- Welcome to my life. I'm the one running behind that fake rhino with a shovel.
6:24
Brad
- Yep.
michael_amowitz 6:24
PM
Cool
Laura
Leibowitz 6:24 PM
Rodrigo
- Who else did that?
brad_strickland 6:24
PM
There's
so much misinformation and so many tall tales about TV/movie/radio folks.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:24 PM
Oh
man...I could tell stories for days...is Mary related to the Marx Brothers?
facepalm
Rodrigo
Araya 6:25 PM
Mel
Blanc commented on his memories he ran back and forth from one show to another.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:25 PM
Rodrigo
- Ah, that makes sense! I was wondering if it was a character actor.
Rodrigo
Araya 6:25 PM
At
6 he played the Happy Postman on "Burns and Allen", and at 6.30 he was
on "Fibber and Molly".
brad_strickland 6:26
PM
And
at times he was on the Judy Canova show. . . .
Laura
Leibowitz 6:26 PM
It
was always funny seeing club members around Eddie Carroll after his show,
complaining about the factual inaccuracies of his script. As he said to me in
Waukegan, "You're a historian. I'm an entertainer. The story plays better
this way." I never argued with him about it again.
Rodrigo
Araya 6:26 PM
Mel
also worked on "The Great Gildersleeve", "Blondie",
"Abbott and Costello", etc.
brad_strickland 6:27
PM
Man
of a thousand roles.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:27 PM
A
man for all seasons
Rodrigo
Araya 6:27 PM
On
the latter he worked with Kent Rogers, who was a promising impressionist.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:27 PM
Joe
Besser and Artie Auerbach also worked a number of shows.
Rodrigo
Araya 6:28 PM
Arthur
Q. Bryan (Elmer Fudd) was Doc Gamble, Bill Thompson (Droopy) was Mr. Wimple.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:28 PM
And
Arthur Q. Bryan appeared on Jack's show a couple times.
brad_strickland 6:28
PM
Eddie
and I talked about that. He told me, "if it gets a laugh and isn't too far
out of character, it's better for the show." I think we were specifically
talking about the bit int he show where Eddie-as-Jack said he turned down the
role played by Bob Hope and so missed getting "Thanks for the Memory"
as his theme song....
Laura
Leibowitz 6:28 PM
Once
selling "Wucky Stwikes"
6:29
Brad
- That's the exact gag I was just thinking of.
brad_strickland 6:29
PM
In
a similar vein, in the radio adaptation of "It's a Wonderful Life,"
Victor Moore played Clarence the Angel.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:30 PM
Jack's
radio adaptation?
brad_strickland 6:30
PM
No,
it was Lux Radio Theatre, with Jimmy Stewart. Moore's voice is so distinctive
that it was a little jarring to hear him as Clarence.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:31 PM
Actually,
just looked it up. Victor Moore played it for Jack as well.
6:31
Thought
so, but wanted to make sure.
brad_strickland 6:31
PM
Ah-ha!
Rodrigo
Araya 6:31 PM
Pinto
Colvig (Goofy) did a pair of roles on Jack's show, the Maxwell and Leona, a
horse Andy gave Jack to replace Maxie during the war.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:31 PM
2/2/47
6:31
Rodrigo
- Correct!
6:32
And
then there's Cliff Nazarro...
brad_strickland 6:32
PM
Was
Pinto pre- or apres- Mel Blanc as the Maxwell?
Laura
Leibowitz 6:32 PM
Pre
Rodrigo
Araya 6:32 PM
Jack's
parody of the film had Peter Lind Hayes as... I don't think the boss would like
it!
brad_strickland 6:32
PM
"Chugga-chugga-chugga
a-hyuck!"
Laura
Leibowitz 6:33 PM
Hays
in a dual role...one of the Warner Brothers too.
brad_strickland 6:33
PM
Bill
Farmer, who vices Goofy now, is a very nice guy.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:33 PM
Goofy's
vices. Wow...uh...
6:34
Mental
image of Goofy drinking whisky out of a flash
6:34
flask
brad_strickland 6:34
PM
Yeah,
yeah, but Bill tells hilarious stories!
Laura
Leibowitz 6:34 PM
Shooting
up
R.
Hookie 6:34 PM
Sorry
I can't stay... good night folks!
Laura
Leibowitz 6:34 PM
Have
a good day, Hookie. Tell the station adios from us!
michael_amowitz 6:34
PM
Take
care, Hookie
brad_strickland 6:35
PM
When
I interviewed him for the Carroll bio, Bill said, "I think we become our
roles. Eddie became the nicest guy in town by playing Jack, and I got
goofy."
michael_amowitz 6:35
PM
I'm
enjoying the commentary
brad_strickland 6:35
PM
Goodnight,
Hookie!
Laura
Leibowitz 6:35 PM
It's
similar to something Phil Harris said to me
Rodrigo
Araya 6:35 PM
Did
you meet Phil? When?
Laura
Leibowitz 6:35 PM
That
their characters (other than Jack) were taken from their actual personas and
blown up to comedy proportions
6:36
Yes,
I interviewed him back in...I think 1987.
Rodrigo
Araya 6:36 PM
Did
you get to know any other of the cast members?
Laura
Leibowitz 6:36 PM
At
one of his Palm Desert homes, which used to belong to writer Bill Morrow!
6:36
Rodrigo
- I got to interview Dennis, but I wouldn't say I really knew him.
brad_strickland 6:37
PM
Did
you get to interview Quentin?
Laura
Leibowitz 6:37 PM
Yes
I did.
6:37
A
hush falls over the crowd
brad_strickland 6:37
PM
Nuff
said?
Laura
Leibowitz 6:37 PM
Nuff
said.
Rodrigo
Araya 6:37 PM
Awright.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:37 PM
I
even asked him if he knew who Quentin was.
6:38
I
didn't know it at the time.
brad_strickland 6:38
PM
(Lou
Costello voice) I'm a baaad boy. (/Lou Costello voice)
Laura
Leibowitz 6:38 PM
But
I'll never forget how his face darkened at the question, and he gave me a curt,
"No."
6:39
And
the hush stays over the crowd
Rodrigo
Araya 6:39 PM
Yeah.
michael_amowitz 6:39
PM
Lol,
hushed here ... I don't know this story
brad_strickland 6:39
PM
Well,
I have my suspicions, but one is presumed innocent until proven otherwise.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:39 PM
Michael
- See Milt Josefsberg's book
michael_amowitz 6:40
PM
ok
Laura
Leibowitz 6:40 PM
Brad
- And that's why, although I'm pretty confident, I don't say who I think it was.
brad_strickland 6:40
PM
I
understand. I respect that.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:40 PM
Because
if I'm wrong, no sense smearing someone's memory.
6:40
And
Milt was not innocent in things either.
brad_strickland 6:41
PM
Plus,
who knows? Milt's version may be one of those exaggerated Hollywood stories. You
pre-empted me.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:41 PM
My
eyebrows raised when Al Gordon was telling me that Milt was "not a nice
man!"
6:42
But
we usually remember things in a way that is most complimentary to ourselves. At
least a lot of people do.
brad_strickland 6:42
PM
Hal
Roach notoriously claimed that Stan Laurel was a conniving, backstabbing,
glory-hogging fraud. Stan Laurel! I don't think anybody who knew him would agree
with Roach.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:43 PM
I've
always heard quite the opposite.
michael_amowitz 6:43
PM
Same
here
Laura
Leibowitz 6:43 PM
Maybe
he was thinking of Oliver Hardy's daughter? I've heard bad stuff, but don't have
any details.
brad_strickland 6:43
PM
Me,
too. And I've known a couple of people who actually knew Laurel.
Rodrigo
Araya 6:43 PM
Remember,
folks. Hollywood rhymes with bad blood.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:44 PM
And
that's one of the things that makes Jack stand out. He never participated in
that sort of thing.
brad_strickland 6:44
PM
No,
Roach resented Stan because Roach claimed to be the screenwriter for all the
Laurel and Hardy films made at his studio, and he wasn't. Stan wrote or cowrote
all of them. Roach wanted the credit (and paid himself as screenwriter, keeping
Laurel and Hardy to a relatively low, non-profit-sharing salary).
Laura
Leibowitz 6:45 PM
Harkening
back to the same chapter in Milt's book, remember that even though pretty much
everyone hated Frank Fay, Jack went to see him in "Harvey" because
"I'm going to see Frank Fay the comedian, not Frank Fay the man."
Tom
V. 6:46 PM
Yes,
that's what I heard too, is that Hal Roach was not a nice man!
Rodrigo
Araya 6:46 PM
I
think Hardy said Stan pretty much co-directed the shorts, especially because
Jimmy Parrott was pretty much a drunken mess.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:46 PM
Brad
- And interestingly, some of that sort of thing plays into the Quentin story
too...if I'm correct.
brad_strickland 6:46
PM
Didn't
Jack's walk imitate Fay's?
Laura
Leibowitz 6:46 PM
Brad
- Sure did. As did Bob Hope.
michael_amowitz 6:46
PM
I
finally saw Renee Zellweger as "Judy" last night. There are plenty of
lower lows out there, and Louis B. Meyer was such a guy.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:46 PM
And
they both took their smooth-talking emcee schtick from Fay as well.
6:47
And
then there's James Aubrey...
Rodrigo
Araya 6:47 PM
"The
last time I saw Fay, he was strolling down Lovers' Lane holding his own
hand"
Fred
Allen.
michael_amowitz 6:47
PM
lol!
Laura
Leibowitz 6:47 PM
Yes!
Well done!
brad_strickland 6:47
PM
"But
Hope cups his hand s . . . he looks like a headwaiter expecting a tip!"
(Jack, complaining that Hope makes fun of the way he walks)
Laura
Leibowitz 6:47 PM
Yup.
Rodrigo
Araya 6:47 PM
I
just realized... I mentioned Allen!
Laura
Leibowitz 6:47 PM
Fay
was once punched out by Milton Berle, supposedly over a woman.
6:48
Fred
Allen is fully acceptable here. They were friends!
Rodrigo
Araya 6:48 PM
I
know.
brad_strickland 6:48
PM
Jimmy
Stewart took the role in "Harvey" that Fay played for years on stage.
Elwood P. Dowd....
Rodrigo
Araya 6:48 PM
I
just say those things for fun.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:48 PM
Or
maybe it was because Fay supposedly beat up Barbara Stanwyck when they were
married. But I think the reverse is more likely.
6:49
Rodrigo
- OK, figured but wanted to be sure!
Rodrigo
Araya 6:50 PM
Maybe
we could reserve more Hollywood hijinks for next month, being Oscar campaign
season.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:50 PM
Lawyer:
What is your occupation, Mr. Fay?
6:50
Fay:
I'm the world's greatest comedian.
6:50
Later,
someone else: Frank, why did you say that?
brad_strickland 6:50
PM
My
wall of fame in my office has autographed photos of Groucho Marx (got it from
him, so I know it's authentic), Jimmy Stewart (bought it at a memorabilia
store), Billy West (he signed for me at a DragonCon), and
Laura
Leibowitz 6:50 PM
Fay:
I couldn't lie...I was under oath!
Rodrigo
Araya 6:51 PM
Anyway,
it takes balls to make such a claim.
brad_strickland 6:51
PM
Chuck
McCann . . . he sighed it at a SPERDVAC meeting for me. Missing: My photo of
Jack with an autograph. I think it was lost when our house flooded.
Laura
Leibowitz 6:51 PM
Rodrigo
- Or gall
6:51
I
lost an Arthur Godfrey autograph in a flood.
brad_strickland 6:52
PM
Louis
Nizer, a famous attorney, wrote a book called MY LIFE IN COURT--good read--and
he says when he asked Morey
6:52
Amsterdam
if he was primarily a comedian, Amsterdam said, "Only if people
laugh."
Laura
Leibowitz 6:52 PM
Perfect
answer.
brad_strickland 6:53
PM
It
