Nobody did it better than Sammy.
Hollywood these days doesn't have anybody who is as much as half decent as Sammy was. The heyday of this kind of stuff is long gone, to be replaced by producers who only care about putting on cardboard actors and a stale show.

There was Nothing "Mr. Entertainment" couldn't do.Sing, Dance, do Impressions, tell jokes and stories, Act in Comedy, Drama, you name it, he could do it instantaneously. He could finish up leftover time on live television by just ad lib. He was GREAT

@emerisle1 While that maybe true what you say about Bing, Sammy is doing Dean. "Dean" uses the nickname "Jer" which was Dean's nickname for Jerry. Also, “Jerry” is telling “Dean” to just take care of the orange juice stand (not ads). This is a reference to Dean and Jerry’s first two pictures “My Friend Irma” and “My Friend Irma Goes West” where Dean and Jer work at an orange juice stand.

I was born with Poliomyelitis.
In 1956.
I was cured/healed by the money that people gave before I was born.
Please thank your parents and grandparents for all those dimes.
Really.

1. James Cagney
2.Jimmy Stewart
3. Cary Grant
4. Edward G. Robinson
5. Sammy Davis (He tells it himself)
6. Jerry Lewis
7. Bing Crosby (You know this for three reasons—Bing was Sammys signature impression, Bing has a routine where he would tell people to relax their lips, and last Jerry states never mind any coaching from you- you take care of the orange juice ads—Bing was known for those ads)
