Geezus, that show made a COMEBACK in 1969 ?

Dennis Day ? THE Dennis Day ?

HC would have 'won' in an Applause-O-Meter landslide with the hepititus football disaster that year !

NTK,

Evidence that a good Jesuit liberal arts education yields well-rounded individuals!

Hey, I'm pretty proud of myself for getting the host's last name right. Recall that I'm the guy that couldn't remember Jack Donahue's last name and called him "Donovan!"

But NTK, I KNOW you couldn't have recalled all that stuff! You found it on the Internet, didn't you! That just tells you that you can find almost anything on the web.

As for the Vatican and white puffs of smoke, I'll bet there are a lot of younger alums on here whose only memory of a pope is JPII and have no idea what the reference is to. Heck, I remember thinking that Pius XII was the one and only pope when I was younger.

What I posted I found on the Internet, true. But I do remember the show and watching it as a child. Dreck! I did recall but I didn't post that the host's name was "Jack". Instead of making the correction, I put up the info from the Net. It just goes to show you what a rainy day at the Jersey Shore can produce!
