In 'Seinfeld', Jerry refers to Winchell and Mahoney in one episode, citing a legal precedent 'Winchell and Mahoney', when he pretends to be Elaine's attorney, acting for her when she threatens a dress shop with a lawsuit for using her likeness to make a manequin.

@bootymanager I think it was Winchell vs. Mahoney, huh? lol...love that reference. And of course, the Mr. Marbles episode.

Hey, I just noticed a dirty joke in this one. Go to where he asks which one is the custard pie and PW nearly gives the audience the finger.

[cyberwing777]

Yeah, there are some things that only adults will get in these. Very subtle things....lol.

How I loved Paul Winchell, Jerry Mahoney and Knucklehead Smith! My sons and I have a running gag--we sign our names at the Cleaners "Jerry Mahoney." It's so funny to see it on the receipt!

[cyberwing777]

Actually it's Knucklehead SMIFF-great idea to sign receipts like that. I will have to do that! lol...thanks.

I remember having a Jerry Mahoney ventriloquist doll when I was a little girl! I love this!

"Your muta takes numbers" pretty heavy for those days. You also have think about how hard that is, we watch this as if it two people but you have to remember that it's one person doing the whole thing. What a true talent.

Thanks for posting this. It's about time Paul Winchell gets his due to be ranked alongside Edger Bergen as one of the greatest ventriliquists of all time.
