11/13/1955 | Hosts:
Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis

Milton Frome, Byron Kane, Evelyn Lovequist, Torben Meyer, Frank Mitchell, Patty
Petersen, Terry Lee, Dick Stabile and his Orchestra
Announcer: Wendell Niles
Note: Dean sings "It Must Be True" and "Memories Are Made Of This,"
and he and Jerry team up for "Two Lost Souls" (from Damn Yankees)
and a tongue-in-cheek "Sometimes I'm Happy" with The Norman Luboff Choir.
In a comedy skit, Jerry plays a Japanese movie actor (complete with offensive
fifties-era stereotype) and later engages in a hilarious exchange with his director
about hitting his mark. Variety called this "a crowded hour of M&L-only
and virtually all of it off the top shelf in their laugh department, all solid
material with no stretching or stalling." It was the team's final Comedy
Hour performance and a fitting end to one of the most successful runs on television.
(Following a much-publicized spat, Dean and Jerry would split up the following
year and pursue separate careers.) |
