it looked like Patti, Jerry's wife, was sitting next to him when "Solomon" introduced Martin & Lewis.

Every time Dean is in the audience there is a big star seated next to him. Jimmy Durante and Jerry's mom and dad behind him when he is Cary Grant. Im not sure who the girl is when hes Groucho... Jack Benny when he is Clark Gable. And Tony Curtis when he is Ben Hogan... any other stars in the audience?

[drafe007]

@nrhoyt1 jack benny? nah, thats george raft.

[nrhoyt1]

@drafe007 oh thanks for the correction... guess i was mistaken.

[Oreadno1]

@nrhoyt1 I believe that was Janet Leigh sitting next to him when he was doing Groucho.

[lotsandlotsofbubbles]

The first time I saw Dean I thought he actually was Cary Grant! They look remarkably similar. And Jerry is incredible as Ed. :P

[xander7ful]

That looked like Jimmy Durante next to "Cary Grant".

Actually, the "COLGATE" show (which changed its name to "THE COLGATE VARIETY HOUR" in the summer of '55) went off the air at the end of 1955, 'efrem'. NBC tried to revive the "COMEDY HOUR" under its original name (and participating sponsors), but not its format, in January 1956; it was literally a mess. Not even Gale Storm could save it when she acted as its "hostess" in the spring. It was replaced by "THE STEVE ALLEN SHOW" (while he appeared on "THE TONIGHT SHOW") in June of '56..

That's George Raft next to "Clark Gable", not Jack Benny.

I guess Ed got the last laugh when the Comedy Hour went under in 1956.

[ukkume]

OH! Thanks...!

[prodigiesofpeace]

What does Jerry say at 8:31?

I love how Dean's dying to laugh when Jerry walks on the stage.

[JEFFYjackass]

I think he said dont forget about the 6th week the poker week lol

[grooveyloop]

@prodigiesofpeace He actually says, "Don't forget next week, the penguins."

There's an earlier part, which I think was cut out of this one, where he says something along the lines of "Next week on this here stage, this stage next week, we'll have 1000 penguins smoking Kools!"

[prodigiesofpeace]

Ooo that's so funny!

Wow imagine being in that audience and have Dean sit right next to you..... wow

Yeah it's Ed Sullivan but Dino says Solomon in this video

[prodigiesofpeace]
