returning right more of the Tonight Show [Applause] we are back when we had dinner together a couple of weeks ago you told me that you didn't like to sing anymore or you got me nervous but I mean to be in public [Applause] I told you if you came on the show I wouldn't do that 20 business about pushing you over there and making you kind of add a little song but you said that you you love to sing but because you did the show where you weren't singing in the show that's right there's been it's been at in a time since you some sang since you have sung I'm rusty John and but I'm going to start singing again because I really wanted yeah yeah there was something you will sang with a Les Brown of course you sang with Jimmy Dorsey no we Les Brown yes right nice brown and Bob Crosby and that's it never over the Dorsey's no just I was married to a musician from Jimi Dorsey's band ah well ever something had to do with the Dorsey's sorry to bring that up but that really I'm happy yeah did you do those one-night stands yeah the band bus you'd play here in Allentown Pennsylvania then you had to get in the band and travel with 18 animals which they always say they're not animals well I made music so I thought you know there's I mean in a road alone and you know and the band singer has to travel with you thinking about animals in my 11 [Music] you know the other day I saw on television some think news thing you know some frantic thing where the gunmen were going crazy and they're having a shootout and one man said he was behaving like an animal yes behave that way not aim yeah you are yes well when I was talking about musicians as animals you know no number I think since unless Browns band we're absolutely fantastic it's Jimmy Zito here I can't see from here to well he plays first animal over there we're gonna have another was he did we have a good time beautiful we really did everybody in the back they were like brothers to me they really were except one well I married him yes well that's okay that that's interesting did you miss those days I mean were they fun days um at the time I think it was fun yeah yeah because we had a really good band didn't we Jim you know and and les was super and we had a good band yeah and it really was nice except that I was separated from my boy my little boy right and that was kind of difficult uh but outside of that it was really fun and it was great experience it was a marvelous time in my life yeah and I'm sure in Jimmy's and great what greater training conditioner have been working different groups different towns night after night that's right you don't have it now Oh fingers don't have it now much they were very sensitive about the animals because you have at least a half a dozen dogs at your house you're very kind don't you at least idea I have several yes I have I have quite a few doggies and you get them well cuz I'm taking other people's responsibilities on they don't take care of their animals John you mean if you see a dog running around on the street a loose you go I find strays wherever I go rod and once when when a friend of mine and I were flying from London to Los Angeles we took the pole over the pole yeah Poorman and we're flying over a Greenland and she said do you see any strays class did you saw straight where if you take again or something all I can tell you is that the only way I'm going to live through it is to live on a boat and then I'll probably pick up fish I know today do they live in the house in the house out in the yard wherever they want to be yeah my house is their house I'm you want I'm not fond of animal oh I don't want to have a scratch out here tonight huh well why is that I don't want anything to lick me that's not gonna marry me [Applause] my neck was great I could do a great take but I can't even do it no you don't really you like animals don't you and I don't want to love anything that I got a walk and wear the collar yeah yeah and I respect that you don't know what I don't like as you mentioned the people that don't take care to let their to go I think I missed something there this could be a shootout of the OK Corral tonight somebody some of the neighbors I don't know it was a couple of weeks ago we had all of a sudden we had a pregnant cat show up in our back door you see at the house right good luck what happened apparently the neighbors did not want it innately and they just left the camp go and all of a sudden now what happened the bad thing was they can't had a litter of kittens and they were raised she had him somewhere back up away from the house in the in the woodpile or something and of course what happened there absolutely wild the kittens you see because they were not raised around like in the house with human beings and so by the time the kittens were 6 or 7 weeks old before they came out you couldn't get near them because they were they were absolutely like they had been born in the wild and it was kind of fighting it easily and they would snarl a shoe just like a wild animal yes and we had to have them you know taken away now why do people do that when I have why don't they have if they don't want to look why don't they have their animals or something they just don't do it do it it's a depressing subject but people don't take care of their children why don't they yeah and and if they don't take care of children they're you know many of them will not take care of their animals and that's why I got into this humane group and into animal work because they really desperately need help and I do all I can between an education the public it's the problem is horrendous because the the animals must be spayed and must be neutered and we can't have breeding in the backyards for money right you know and it just has to be stopped it's really educating the public to that right right education that's what we need yeah what's up in the meantime I'm enjoying my animals and they're really if you're not asking you were to come see them sometime well you're not asking people to drop off strays are you no I'm not no I really can't handle because I'd get to be a little less no no I think that everyone should take care of their own animals their own cats and dogs and that's their responsibility ok so you'll have people showing up I've take a break we'll be right back after this word stay with us we are back you know I haven't said I don't think I have spoken that many words in all the time I've been off of this show lot of words it's great I love doing that insane character do you still have a fear of flying that used to be one a year you'd have a fear of flying didn't you oh why you stupid I don't know I fly everywhere how'd you get over it because we've had a lot of people on the show who said they just cannot absolutely break that it's a phobia that or wasn't full deal right yes well it started with Bob Hope when I was on a tour with him did you have an ear oh we had many crises and I think Jimmy remembers them Jim Museum but now I fly everywhere because I decided that you you know if you want to go someplace you have to fly or take the bus and it's a bit long so you just said you've set him you said to yourself forget it I'm not gonna be scared anymore yes and I love it now oh that's great I really do enjoy it do you have any other any phobias at all and unnatural things that drive you crazy no when a mine isn't in order interfere of Rodney Dangerfield that's one of my phobias great segue to get him out here right he's a he's a strange man he is uh one of New York's most finest restaurant tours
