7. Last of the Rat Pack, one of my dad's favorite comedians...

even though Joey was a NY jew and my dad was an Oklahoma rancher. Of course my dad loved Jonathan Winters as well. I guess that's where I got my love for comedy.

RIP Joey.

10. Anyone remember The Joey Bishop Show?

It was a talk show that ran from 1967-69 on ABC; young Regis Philbin was his co-host. There was also a sitcom by that name, but I don't recall having watched it (I believe Abby Dalton played his wife).

13. I do, it was pretty good

for some reason, it was my favorite night time talk show during summer when I could stay up late, probably because he always had a lot of comedians on the show.

14. I remember the sit-com

Thought is was cool and really liked Abby. Think it was on when I was in HS???
The talk show, don't recall so much, in college then and not watching much teevee.

15. Probably drew his highest ratings

after he fired Regis on-air, from rubberneckers who hoped to see him lose his shit again.

17. RIP Mr. Bishop

You could make me belly laugh with just a look. Your humor was timing, delivery and verbage perfected.

Thank you. :cry:
