Burns and Allen - Kleebob The Card Game

[moproducer]

This was so cornball even in its day that it was over-the-top funny. And there's no way it could ever be repeated, because there's never been, nor will be, another Gracie.

Hal appeared as "Harry Morton" in the first seven episodes of the series [October 1950- January 1951]. He decided to leave the show after production moved from New York to Hollywood [John Brown replaced him for six months, then Fred Clark (through 1953), and Larry Keating became the final "Harry" in the fall of '53]. However, Hal sometimes appeared in the occcasional role of "Casey", Harry's real estate partner, during the remainder of the live series, and a filmed appearance in season three...

This is such a funny skit....Gracie and Bea are two of my favorite actresses.

At 2:42 you can see the shadow of the boom microphone on the wall. It's interesting to see Hal March as Harry Morton. I always thought he was a pretty good comedian, but he's more famous for his one gig as a game show host ($64,0000 Question).

I wonder if a real game ever got made out of this. Actually, i don't want to know.

Joey and Chandler's routine "Cups" from Friends reminds me of this scene. Just goes to show you that there's no such thing as original comedy.

This was from the very first live episode of the series on October 12, 1950. The routine was based on a real-life card game George's friend and fellow vaudevillian Benny Rubin invented, called "Panocchi", which George and his friends often played during their vaudeville tours...
