Amusing, but does not come close to Tom Howard's It Pays to be Ignorant radio show.
-
The ''armed guard'' at the start was Sid Fields, best known for his recurring role on their 1951-3 TV show.
-
Irwin Corey, Crazy Guggenheim and Jayne Mansfield together were hilarious.

@russocomedy Wow...I would have loved to have met Jane. Though I love her and Marilyn I feel sad that they were forced (in a way) to play simpering, blonde idiots because their fans loved it and studio heads expected it.
It must have been nice to have worked with her. I was fortunate enough to work in RKO's archives just before they closed...movie and t.v. people put a lot more into their work than most people will ever know.

This would have been better is they had only used original jokes. On the 13 september 1950 episode of the original radio show, the one that starts with 'Why is a man like a worm?', one of the questions was "In what town in Pennsylvania did Lincoln make his Gettysburg Address?'. Three of the jokes in this parody were taken from that episode. It's freely available at the Internet Archive, along with dozens of other episodes. And they're really enjoyable (although many are cut up repeats).

Good god this is awful compared to the radio show.

Amazing how this concept was the forerunner to SCTV's "Halfwits," which could be argued was the inspiration to SNL's "Celebrity Jeopardy, " etc etc
Thanks for posting!!

Corey was Enrico Banducci's favorite comedian. He's still kicking (Corey, not Banducci).

I toured with Jane for the troops in Asia and Vietnam. Hard working, intelligent, a gentle person who anguished over the great distance that separated her from her loved ones back home. During one of her last press conferences which I attended with her two weeks before her death, asked by one cynical reporter: what she wanted in life? " To know God," She said. I'll not state the reporter's rude retort, but she knew the truth better than any there the time capsule of her life was completed.
