We're back, thank you doctor, ready to have an enemy. We have James Hampton, this young woman who is a frequent guest on our

show

. She now lives in the East, but currently she is wrong. Thank you. How is she doing? Alright, someone told me I was in the building and I didn't know you were coming in here that was very nice of you, well I was doing that, uh, Dean Martin, toaster, toaster, whatever you call it, Dean and I read that, I read that thing in the Wall Street Journal oh, that little thing about that, I want to tell you it was well deserved and it was very well done, thank you, it was nice, I don't know, I don't think you'll ever have anything better written. about you, yes, I don't know if many people saw it here it was a gentleman who was reviewing television he said some very kind words about the Tonight Show no, he's a gentleman because he suddenly said the guy is a gentleman if they say bad things he said you know it well you know it I'm here I'm running again I seemed to always be in a yes I'm in a hurry how are you feeling I'm going to Carson City you're going to Nevada yes, tomorrow I'm Being Carson City, so I'll keep you in mind.

People always ask if that guy had a relative you know like the Carson kid or something and then I couldn't prove any genealogy. He always wanted to be related to Indian Scout Kit Carson. It never turned out that way I saw an article about comments that I think you made in New York the other day you said uh what did I say? Well, you quit smoking and said you were allergic to tobacco. and yeah, well that's the sad thing or I wouldn't have left him with cancer or without cancer, but now if I have a cigarette or a cigar, you can still have coffee, yeah, I'll have a touch, oh, this is it.

The kind of coffee I like, that's what Mrs. Olson says on her can. If you drink that Mountain drone that's real, no taxes paid, occasionally have a little jar of juice, they're pretty good, yeah, now who hit John? I'm in a lot of trouble, yes, yes, I also know that they are going to plant you on this, uh, the 90 minute special, um, Swing Out, swing out, sweet earth, what is that going to play? That's why they want me to come here. I really wanted to. come out and congratulate you, but swing our sweet land is a large number of dear friends of mine who got together and put on a

show

and allowed me to be the star and I'm very proud of it, it was a couple of years ago and now Budweis is going to put it on again for the bicentennial on January 15.

I think the date is 90 minutes. I remember our good friend Jack Benny was on that show and it was a super show and got great reviews, oh yeah, and with me. In it you have done things like that before having narrated, right? Yeah, but I mean, I never got good reviews. People like it, but critics never lie. Still, you know, you hear rumors all the time. time when you're going to go out and you're not going to make movies anymore and you're going to make movies, aren't you okay? I'm leaving tomorrow morning at six o'clock for Carson City. just a picture to make a picture yeah are you going to play cowboy by any chance or a western man?

No, this one is called The Shootist The Shootist, not c-h-u-s-t-i-s, you mean bang bang, I mean bang bang Shootist, so you'll play that, yeah. I'm going to play a gunslinger of course, the author says they didn't call them gunslingers in those days, they called them shooters, he and Ripley have this all figured out because I didn't know that script, do you think you ever looked at it? Western Heritage always turns a lot of old guys like Wyatt Earp into, you know, great heroes in American history, but that wasn't always the case, was it? No, they weren't exactly all American apples, they weren't all clean, but uh, you know he had to fight fire with fire and uh, he had to have a guy who wouldn't blink before he shot, yeah, on your side or yeah, you they said they wouldn't come back and let them have it in the back that's right you know if that was the way to do it right that's how I'd like to do it if it would scare the guy you're going to get hurt you could never do that they'd kill you if you ever did it. something like that and they'll

surprise

us and I remember when they killed you in the Cowboys, yeah, and uh, they shot you to death, well, I slowed you down enough, you didn't either.

I'm delighted to see it. I'm glad you guys came out, yeah, I really enjoyed seeing you all and I just wanted to tell you how happy I was with that article. It was just great. Let me wish you a happy new year. Thank you. I haven't received them yet. I hope to see you soon thank you for coming well thank you
