Paul Winchell & Jerry Mahoney

Paul Winchell & Jerry Mahoney performing one of their classic songs - "Ice Cream". Just for the sake of clarity, it was a lip-synched performance - of which the audience was fully aware. The rest of the show was full ventriloquism as only Paul can do it. This was just a special routine to highlight a great song they recorded on record back in the 50's, and the audience loved it. The fact that it is lip-synched does not at all undermine Paul Winchell's superb ventriloquism, but rather shows an additional talent at being able to perform two different motions simultaneously. An extremely difficult task. So please, it isn't necessary to ponder or reveal the blinding revelation that it is not possible for two voices to occur simultaneously. It's for entertainment purposes and Paul was the best among them.

Actually Paul Winchell DID invent and file the first patent for the artificial heart ... before that of Robert Jarvik.

i remember as a kid in the late 50's my father getting us to say "i scream you scream, we all scream for ice cream" i always thought it was from a commercial from a brand of ice cream.

Paul Winchell certainly was a good ventriloquist...and good voice actor, too!

[allenehrl]

Impeccable timing. Just absolute perfection in ventriloquism. There was never a more talented performer than Paul Winchell or as Knucklehad called him Mr. Winkel.

[trev358]

What date was this appearance from? Does anybody know?

[DylansEpic]

brilliant

[allenehrl]

I remember Paul Winchell calling Knucklehead Smiff a "shmendrik"

I love it. Too bad Metromedia erased all of the old shows. It was one of my favorites. SCATTY WADDY DOO DOO!

If anyone has an issue with the lipsync, think about Edgar Begen and Charlie McCarthy, back in the day, having the number 1 radio show! How did that work?

I think its hilarious that Jerry Mahoney has long hair and a mustache to go along with the times
