Signed, Ricky Starr

POLLY:

THE REAL RICKY STARR IS…
#3 ($250, Dick shot himself in the foot)

#1: Nicola Mocorner, boss of the Metropolitan Opera

#2: Barbara Terry, Avon Sales Lady from NYC

Dick gets Nicola to sing for real and Polly wants to see Ricky do a dance.  In a small stage, he manages a great series.  Also his trademark in the ring.  Hume’ll send copies of Mrs. Beeton and Peggy Harvey to him.  Polly’s disappointed she didn’t get to wrestle Barbara.

SECOND GUEST: Patricia Saddleman

I, Patricia Saddleman, am the receptionist in Jackie Gleason’s office.  I am also secretary to all of Jackie’s fan clubs and as such read and answer all of his fan mail.  I was a beauty contest winner.  At one time in my career, I was a professional dancer and I have appeared in three motion pictures.  I am an ardent New York Yankee fan.  Incidentally, I have an identical twin sister.  I swear the above statement is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

“Who was your cameraman”
She can’t remember, she was only five.

VOTING TIME

  • Polly #3 (First time I’m positive, so I’m wrong)
  • Hume: #3
  • Hildy: #3
  • Dick: #3

THE REAL PATRICIA SADDLEMAN IS…
#3

Her real twin sister, Janet, is in Ohio.

#1: Ann Harden, a housewife from McConnellsville, as she said.

#2: Jean Creelamn, housewife from Bayside, Long Island

Frankly, the whole panel thinks they’re all triplets.  Polly confirms that Patricia’s sister really wasn’t in the same beauty contest.  The movies Patricia starred in were like the Little Rascals.

Oh wait, no score!  That’s okay, they’ll each get $50 for their work.

Good night from:

  • Sheena, Queen of the Jungle
  • Jessica Tandy
  • Anastasia
