George you know Dean my sister Goldie is one of your biggest fans when I told them that I phoned to the Ceph no night old I was dressing right next door to you let's go hole in the dressing-room between our and she told me to look through the hole and tell her exactly what you look like he boldly got all excited she says please look through the hole and I did and she's now a Frank Sinatra fan the right business so is Tony Bennett and Perry Como and Andy Williams all us great singers lot of made you see when you're singing you don't have to worry about getting laughs see nobody's laughing on that word it's out on the stage the girls scream and there we have something in common I get the same thing from the nurses when I go in for a checkup after taking a shower I took a look at myself in the mirror and I found out it takes a very little and making those scream by the way you wouldn't make it the girls scream well you ought to know you peeked through the hole I don't know where they post it but as singers Frank and I have very much alike it's it's not that we praise the same way and it's not that we sing in the same key and we said you don't have the same range but there's one thing we have in common we both open our mouths when we say come to think of it we have another thing in common we both make records he sells his I buy his records he makes us so sexy my secretary Trixie Hicks she buys every one of them that's so sexy every - plays a record she's got to fill a bucket of cold water on so I never try to dictate a letter with a wet secretary city it's exciting no wonder that women still idolize Frank Sinatra now that he's always really a good-looking guy takes a long time to get the be good-looking as I said when I place cut up here a singer doesn't have to get laughs and when you're an 81 year old singer you don't have to have a finished my next guest is the distinguished former governor of the state of California ladies and gentlemen the Honorable Ronald Reagan Thank You Jean I'm pleased to be here tonight honoring my very dear friend Frank Sinatra I must say that when this program was being planned the producer hadn't decided what political figures would participate it was a choice between me and Governor Brown and I lost again seriously this is Frank Sinatra's night and I'm here out of gratitude Frank worked for me in all my campaigns he was with me all the way to the governor's mansion without his help who knows I might have been president it's my considered opinion that the two gentlemen who flanked me would make quite a political ticket Franca's president dean is his crawling mate franksen after make a good president let's look at the facts he has many friends and I'm sure he'd appoint only the most qualified to his cabinet who better than Sammy Davis jr. a secretary of health education and jewelry was in politics there's always gossip and ugly rumors I'm happy to expose one for the falsehood that it is he has not granted a Pizza Hut franchise at Camp David it'll be in the White House where it belongs canasa will make a president who is strong on defense but again will have concern for humanity scientists it is urging have developed an intercontinental ballistic missile that is not a weapon of mass destruction it only hits photographers I asked him what he thought of the energy bill he didn't hesitate a second said pay it Franca's innovated his mind is always working but he's also willing to admit when he's wrong like wanting a comic like Pat Henry to open for him when he addresses the joint session of Congress and he realized speak to Congress the real comics are in the audience we won't have any trouble with Congress they'll pass all the legislation he sends over just to get his autograph and he'll settle that canal business to animal wants a canal you give them Venice and you probably gathered by now I think Frank Sinatra would make a fine president but I don't know whether we can get him to run is it worth it if you have to give up being a king down on Frank Sinatra and find out what he really liked well nobody is closer to Frank than our next guest ladies and gentlemen his Frank's personal chef mr.

Jimmy Stewart I can see and it's always nice to be invited one of these roads free because it means that I'm able to see you Dean now I just hope that in your condition you will be able to see me I'm awful glad to be here tonight because for a long time I've wanted to tell a little incident involving prank now the Western movie he made through years act of course I feel sort of qualified to talk about Western is because I've made my share as a matter of fact at one point my career I was making so many westerns I was the only actor in Beverly Hills who had a saddle on my Buick of course but we do those westerns we usually go out on location to one of those small towns way out in cattle country and I remember on one occasion we went out to a little place in Utah to make a picture and we thought the good citizens would be thrilled to have us all it would people talking rubbing shoulders with him and and as a matter of fact they hated the whole thing and later on I found fire it seems that a Western had already been made few years earlier something called sergeant 316 you Frank and the rest of the guys you used to call the Rat Pack now this little town Utah used to be a very quiet decent little town in fact it was so moral they didn't even have a town drunk the men of the town had to take courage you know every night it was a sleepy little western town where the big excitement was watching the sunset about 5:30 or so the fascicle for Frank and the guys all got there and start throwing wild parties after that the Sun begins Sutton later and later 10:30 11:30 midnight you know the Sun was no dummy it didn't want to miss any of the action either a couple of times didn't set it all just stayed up all night and tried to fool around with the moon yeah that's Frank you you and your Rat Pack did a lot of wild things like not movie and when I met the mayor he told me that he was willing to overlook all those beds you took out of the hotel and the statue from the front of the library there's one thing he still can't overlook he sure wishes you guys had put back the library Franco so this day your exploits are talked about in Uptown they've become kind of a legend and every night at the saloon the bartender gets up on the bar and recites an epic poem is much like the pace in the barroom floor or the shooting of Dan McGrew and about your guys and I'd like to read the poem you don't mind and it that it goes like this Frank and the boys came into our town but not to do ridin and Ropin these sergeants three soon went on a spree and they started in grabbin and group the girls school at the Long Branch saloon for each sang a love song so pretty then one by one when their song was done they tried to make out with Miss Kitty Dean bought some grain had a feed store because he had just heard the news that if you let the grain stay out on the rain it would turn into next year's food yes our little town was turned upside down when Frank and his clan did their thing now the cows they don't move they go scooby-dooby-doo the school bell goes ring it in deep Oh I've ever seen my brothers and sisters up here on the dais they're all doing quite well even though on the page or a big mouth red fox is doing great he held out the window in his dressing room he got the window but he can't find a woman to come in and clean it Sammy Davis found out how people of doing so well he's trying to pass for black always be grateful to Frank because it was he who got me in the shoulders we're playing played the paramount New York I was an usher and he was such a smash hit the girls got excited through everything upon the states the stockings high-heeled shoes browsers girdles and ease after everyone left my pond up on the stage picked up all that stuff and that's how Geraldine was born I think it rather appropriate that to introduce a woman who knows Frank Sinatra as well as anyone she's the original president of the first banks and not the fan club ever formed please welcome mrs. Gladys they're so calm and cool when left like you were gearing for my body learning that were yawning tonight the world is going to find out what kind of a man you are I've known him since he first won in show business I was the one who first believed in him he told me I was his one and only Sagar promising you'd marry me for years I've had a hope chest I've seen your chest ain't no hope boom and you really should not spare this man over these are the food pain scars and fuels but tonight tonight you'll learn the truth about Frank Sinatra tonight i spose myself toy with my affections I was hurt I am feeling G though I am a human being wanna bet I was in Atlantic City with Frankie here is a picture of me in front of the 500 club eating a hot dog oh man i beautiful phalanges opening girls I spent so much time on my makeup I didn't have to run to shave my legs so I put them up in curlers city he opened at the Paramount Theatre in New York I was in the audience and all the other girls yelled and screamed but I was different Frankie I didn't scream listening to music French horn represent nice English horn records by the day he was I've got something to tell them I see yet but you are going to have a series of big hit does that make you feel good projection what can you say about Milton Berle anybody who says he isn't funny he's seen his act would made a major contribution to the world of comedy mr.

Francis Albert Sinatra you always been holding and stressing you supposed to be a big man well let me tell you something turkey I hear the wheel Chamberlain could slam dunk you and still have wound up on a watermelon I know you got your foot sense in the fourth quarter of the Chinese Theater so what's the big deal everybody figured some day you'd wind up in cement none of us will ever forget Frank's oscar-winning performance as the tragic little soldier Maggio in that immortal movie From Here to Eternity well we have a big surprise for you Frank because with us tonight is that brutal sadistic boss of the stockade who made your life so miserable fatso I mean Jill tofu's babies no you weren't with us in Hawaii on December the 7th but anyway you look like you were bombed before Pearl Harbor I mean again I'm Asha sit up straight check out Sheldon backs up in your gut oh my god and now Marshall I hated you from the very first day you walked into Schofield Barracks you were pale pasty it was skinny I looked at you and said to myself the army must be desperate I drafted linguini having you in a platoon is embarrassing every man in it on a day when General MacArthur left the Philippines and said his immortal words I shall return I shall return how you made us cringe when you yelled when you do bring booze and broads my show always for the good old days but if I ever had to do a job on you again to be all different boy no more punching a kid ninh nah none of that I got a torture that's even worse day I threw you in a stockade lock you in solitary for 24 straight hours I'd make you listen to nothing but Donny and Marie records orson welles a over there having known him a good bit longer than most I respond with some trepidation to this opportunity to speak of history's first finger snapping Pope began yet on the bad old days when I was on the radio playing the shadow and Frank was at the Paramount looking like the shadow shadow said who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men believe me Frank knew a few seasons ago you remember that he announced his retirement sad day every Motel in America fluid sheets at half-mast I guess I'm here for reasons of seniority that's for the other speakers well it's certainly a lot of them ex governors and secretaries of states a tattered emilion grab bag of distressed comedians and a bald-headed Greek tragedians chief claim to fame as that he gave new life to the lollipop you know I made a little documentary film of this occasion but I see there won't be much time my subject was Frank's home the royal residence in Palm Springs I opened the film of the palace gates bearing as it does the family coat of arms it depicts the entire Sinatra family pushing Wayne Newton into the sea absurd after the humanitarian and philanthropist what can I say he's endowed some fascinating scientific research the new birth control device stresses so much surer than the pill at that time the couple is shown a print of Frank's movie the kissing bandit Brenda's reproduction of our species impossible since it's difficult to make love when you passed asleep now I'm closing I'd like to speak as an Italian and I am an Italian the hard way by marriage while I can't claim to have risen to those loftier circles of high society where the bed nose and a slight color flowering of the ear signs of chic what I have learned is that with all the Italians there's some questions it's healthier not to ask certain things that should we say arranged that's I do not know and I don't want to know how in the world it came to be that when my daughter was brought to the fount to be baptized it was Don Francisco here who was he should excuse the expression the Godfather this is the joke who joke about a thing like that my own Beatrice is sitting right out there really is Sinatra's godchild believe me if otherwise I would have been a lot sassier tonight Theresa mojito beside you Grandin thank you simply translation whatever I've been saying here Don Francisco it's strictly fun absolutely Godfather like at you watch your lip it is surrounded by Italian singing have you noticed folks our business supposed to the singers or Italians roaster comedians of Georgia which is ridiculous it's very little difference between of Jews in the Italians one year a high school the man himself Francis Albert Sinatra singers swinger actor director producer businessman tycoon and on the seventh day he rested Billy Graham the one said about this man there but but grace of me goes God yes my friends why why are we giving this man why are we giving this man a dinner when some of the greatest Italians and in history the world never got a dinner a new baby who said to Sophie is that all for me you Christopher Columbus said the Queen Isabel I keep telling in a world is round you're the one who's flat never got a junior apprecia cause who said she was cited green sports media poison Geri Markel said to Yogi Berra repeat after me oh hey Oh whoa true Julius Caesar who said his being stabbed by Brutus well I guess you know you just moved a Christmas bonus he ever got a sinister bolo Marco Polo set to us why they

the old set the Juliet for a better romance get off the balcony and get on the pill again first baseman Joe Torre who was too chicken to play catcher because he said who wants to be known as chicken cacciatore my regards back she's a self-made man all his life Frank did what he wanted to do and he did it his way cause he had to check it out with the boys first Born's why did they call him the boys you ever see any of the boy ah tough looking guys I saw one guy who can make a fist with his nose he had a beautiful he has a beautiful home in Palm Spring he often plays golf with like dirt lands because he won't let him keep school remember when he won the Oscar for From Here to Eternity that was a terrific performance and then much much later he retired he said he wanted to spend more time with his friends when they found out he was out of work he didn't have any friends left I want to say gift one moment if see I did one picture with Frank the detective which was one of the most

Sinatra you've never even heard it jillee problem well maybe a query is here is there's no prank without said I came out of respect I came out of admiration for most of all I came out of fear I remember the night Frank came into my joint about 3:00 in the morning yeah I just left the Elmer off of a big deal I think what some of his friends with him they were very high class the a group you know the pilot wash their hands before they danced by the headphone looking for cash spot on a roller power I know you got a lot of important people up here so I'll just say what I can say to you for the past thirty years I'll be waiting in the car the CDC's GPO shocky which is a big hit on the NBC network this is the hundred right may I say publicly to you is the palm of the year James would have had a turn-off we don't like to hear that gone to my black brothers Rick Fox the question the one page which a whole life if dear wonderful wonderful new wife Barbara Barbara one with the diamond on her nose a Jewish wife she doesn't do that she has so much jewelry on she can't keep her head up enjoy jingyan 90 lay down annoying the people voices Wendy what is London give me a break in Miami Beach guy said you stink that chilly walked over they kill the Don it's a man that's in charge of the time people the cup of the captive under bending for positive and a woman and a choose don't do that we make a phone call give a few dollars and they all go away so they store up in the Polish peak of the mini trouble my dear friend Jack Klugman from Quincy one of the great actors who said to me kept me a brought a monkey a dog anybody it all moves anything Ronald Regan our great former governor who set me give him a cookie and they went away all the great stars pop up couldn't be here tonight he's looking for a war you know I never I never tell the truth I exaggerate I make fun of blacks whites Jews tat well Jews we're the chosen people we had a few bumps I must admit that the Red Sea trick the morning shop everything good Oh enjoyed it my heart to all of it into wonderful Peter for over here Peters look at the side Ruth Buzzi everybody laughs at about a looks good dog and also well thirty years ago you a handsome and now I'm going to put Goodyear on your face and fly over the beach forever checking with annoying is that funny lovely milk it's over the one on Tuesday just the furniture Marie Franklin to the big lights of Las Vegas this wonderful gentlemen that we honor tonight was in my corner then he's in my corner now we do not dance together we do not break bread every day together but when I'm in his company Dean knows this and you know this I speak of him with love and I tell you we have been blessed to have such a man good night and now it is my privilege and very pleasant duty to introduce our guest of honor I'm a good buddy what can you say about a guy that's already a legend the accomplishments of Frank Sinatra have been documented in the history of show business you can find them listed in some books as a singer in others you'll find them lesser there's an actor but in my book he'll always be listed as a friend the best this business isn't as easy as it looks you endure a lot of hurts and scars along the way and whenever Frank found out I was hurting he was always there for me there's lots more I could say but at this moment my emotions prevent me from translating my feelings into words so to say here's the man of the hour the man of the year and my personal vote for the man of the century mr. Frank Sinatra mr. ladies and gentlemen Thank You Dean and all of your Roasters and our roast ette I'm here tonight for a very simple reason I will repeat what Dean said except change it around I love Dean Martin have more years and we want to mention that upsets Anita Bryant so be it and Dean I hate to spoil your image but I have to tell the people the Dean that I know a little bit about a good deal about he's not a drunk and he is so far from the fumbling he would have you believe he is it's all a charade really but it entertains people so he carries on with it and Dean is probably brought more fun into my life than anybody I know that's for this evening I've enjoyed every week of it I enjoy the jokes and I enjoyed the serious part that Don Rickles did everybody doesn't have to be funny all the time and on prove again tonight as how to express my thanks to all of you on the dais for being my friends we don't have time tonight or this year for me to put it all into words but you may believe me if I knew how to hug get this I would do it everybody on the stairs by your talents you bring light into darken worlds and lives and by your work you change the world subject from sadness to laughter and that is a rare gift that I cherish and admire and all of you people you're cheered America and in my book that's win place and show because without the laughter you provide without the escape you create without your songs and your entertainment the brilliant colors you add to a black and white world that world would have more time to cry you get applause but never enough but what is enough if only once in your life you cause the friendly smile of why bother strangers tear I love you all thank you very much may I say that I hope you all live to be a thousand years old and the last voice you hear is mine you you
