[Spoken Word: Tony Bennett, Milton Berle, Mickey Rooney & Danny Thomas]

Thank you for coming by, [?]

Anybody who gets this microphone gets a royalty of this record

Did you know that?

Anybody who holds this microphone, speaks into it beside myself gets a royalty

Thought you'd never call on me

How 'bout Tony tonight? Wasn't he wonderful?

Come on, let's hear it

You, you, it's for you, it's for you

Is the, uh, Ralph? Wonderful, was Ralph, uh, Shermon? Sharon?

If the tape is still on, I'd like to say that

I've never heard Tony Bennett sing any greater than he sang tonight

I really mean that sincerely

Boys, you can figure out that line

I never heard him any bеtter than years tonight

Th-therе's three ways of taking that, you know

That's right, uh, I don't wanna bore you with a lot of wonderful material

But I do wanna tell you that I am very glad that you invited all us here tonight

All-all us here tonight, how do you like that?

My nose is fixed, now my mouth don't work, uh

I've been telling jokes for years, I've done three hours at one session, but I'm—

How many songs did you sing tonight? How many would you sing?

Thirty-five

You know what it's sounding like? Would you believe it? In this—eighty

And the boys, pretty bad, now, now, really a wonderful band

They don't play slow, they don't play fast, you're sorta have fast

And I thought, we got a hell of a crowd on be for now

And now, you got some more to do

You want to introduce some people here?

You know, you got any houselights here?

Stan, uh, put up the houselights

That's better, I know, I don't need you, pal

I'm working on it, haha, think loud month

I know, I just got this message, Danny Thomas is in here already

Oh, is he? Danny, Danny, let's have Danny stand up

Danny Thomas, ladies and gentlemen, where are ya? Danny

Come up here, baby, come up here, Danny

The hell of ya got a plan, [?] music, Ralph?

There'll be no room up here with these two noses

I heard that, hello, Mickey, where is he?

You are looking at two of the greatest performers in the world

Neither of us had our noses fixe, ha, but he did

Mickey, come on up here, come on, come on, let's look at ya

Let's talk about ya, come up anyways

There's a street

Needless to say, without trying to be comedic

These two giants up here, uh, probably a lot of you, of many

A few of you have seen me for the first time

I know this might pleasure to have met you for the first time, Tony

Uh, I'm a tremendous fan of yours as most everyone is here tonight

There is electricity in this particular room because of your singing

It's magnificent, and, ahem, uh

Accolade after accolade could be piled upon you, I'm certain

But a lot of people as I got up here tonight, I felt as though they

They might have a question, might be on their mind

They might say to themselves, "How short is he?" You know?

Well I'm about three hundred thousand short, that's what I am

What else? Hold up

Know the fact is that coming up here, Tony

I might as well admit it, I came up on a, on an airplane

That was a little old, I would, I would say it was a load, I

I saw a movie magazine in the plane and it had a picture

Of Elizabeth Taylor and Mike Wilding on it, you understand?

Ahahaha, yes, it had a picture of me and Ava Gardner on it, dancing

May I say, all clowning aside, ladies and gentlemen

That I think that we will, uh, repeat as [?] usually does

That we witnessed, a one of the greatest performers

May I ask you something?

How numbers, how many numbers on the table, they're gonna, uh, record?

Well we ran out of tape about a half hour ago, haha

Well, let's start a new one and sing for another hour, how 'bout it, hah?

God bless you

Milton Berle, ladies and gentlemen
