We had all week to rehearse. An audience would come in at the end of the week and we'd our little show. Most of the ad- libbing happened during the week on the show.

When I was a kid, I had ambitions for being a television announcer, which was before television took off, you know, in the late '40s.

You know, I'm almost out of the habit of watching episodic television now.
