"Welcome to My World"
Like Chuck Norris, I just entered the world of the "Dean Martin Show." On my right was the set up for "Les Brown and his Band of Renown." To my left was Dean's bar stool and the famous stairway up to the "firepoll." Across the large studio was the library set w/Kenny Lane's piano and Dean's famous "Gouch." Later that morning the studio would come alive and rehearsal would begin.

WGC Open
One Day
1. Mariachi’s DiSalvo Capeloto Intro
DISALVO
One of the things I learned
In this business is how to make
People laugh. What are you
Laughing At Larry?
I was reading one of those entertainment
Magazines and that said
the funniest laugh line, when you
Open your act,
is uttering the words
“I am a married man.”
(Pause Laff Track)
A medical journal came out today
From a very famous psychiatrist. He came
Up with a theory that if life
gives you lemons, you should make lemonade...
Then find a friend who has vodka
and have a party.”
(Laff Track)
Tonight we have a great show.
Tony Pomponio,
our band leader is here. (Applause)
Frank Montiforti, Tony “the Godfather” is here. (Applause)

DISALVO
Let’s have a big round of
Applause for Larry Capeloto.
You know Banks may be in
Big trouble. Larry was telling me
He went to the ATM machine at
His favorite bank, he tried to withdraw
Money, and an I O U came out.

You know, their rewriting history books
To be Politically correct.
One of the First things their changing
Is the Christmas story.
From now on the 3 Kings
Will bring gift certificates.
(Laff Track)
Gaining weight seems to be
On everybody’s mind these days
I saw one sign that read
Weight Watchers will meet at 7:00pm
At the First Baptist Church.
Please use the large double doors.
(Laff Track)
I know one gal that attended one of
These weight loss programs.
She quit early, if you saw her
She had an hour glass figure
With a couple of minutes to spare.
(Laff Track)
We have some surprises tonight.
Our band leader will pour his
Heart out as usual.

Challenged patients.

3. Mariachi’s DiSalvo Capeloto Intro

At one time we all thought the world Was flat.
Then they decided it was round.
Today we all know it’s crooked.
(Laff Track)
There’s a new study out for All of
you people that want to Live longer.
Scientists say the Most dangerous
food to eat Is wedding cake.
(Laff Track)
They say the number one fear in life
Is public speaking, and the
number 2 Fear is death.
What does that all mean?
I’ll tell you what that all means,
If you go to a funeral, you’re
Better off in a casket that giving the Eulogy.
(Laff Track)
Speaking of Death, have you ever
Wondered why funeral processions
Go through red lights. What’s the Hurry?

DISALVO
Welcome to Wise Guys Cooking, the
Show that asks, if the average family
Consists of 4.5 people who constitutes
Who’s the other one half a person.
(Laff Track)
The homeless problem all over is
Getting frustrating. The other day
A panhandler walked up to me
And asked “ Hey bud, could you spare
$20 for a poor unfortunate fellow?
Twenty? Isn’t that pretty steep?
The panhandler said I don’t feel great
Today, I want to get my work done early
So I can go home and relax.
(Laff Track)
Driving through traffic these days
Is like throwing your life on the line.
The other day my wife called me In a frenzy,
I said honey I can’t talk, I’m Busy,
She said I’ve got some good news
And some bad news.
I said I’m real busy, just give me The good news.
She said, the air bags work.

I was just thinking, When we were young, we
Want to change the world, now that we’re old,
We want to change our depends.
(Laff Track)
You know when you’re getting older
That’s when a fortune teller rather
Read your face than your palm.
(Laff Track)
Kids are so smart these days, when
I was a teenager my folks wouldn’t
Let me drive until I was 18. My grandson
Wanted to use my new corvette, he said
Gramps the Bible says that if you don’t let
Me have the car, you hate me.
I said, where does it say that?
He said Proverbs 13:24. He that spareth
The rod hateth his grandson.

I read a headline in local newspaper
This morning, a blind woman gets
Kidney from Dad she hasn’t seen in years.
(Laff Track)
Another headline that caught my eye.
You know Chicago’s been known as
The home of many famous Mafia figures.
I guess it still is.
I read where a very shady character
was walking backwards
Around a building in Cicero.
He backed into a knife...(Pause) 20 times.
Yes he did.
(Laff Track)
You know these restaurants in Chicago
Have the weirdest menu’s.
I took my wife to dinner the other
Night, I asked the waiter
What’s tonight’s special.
He said the Heimlich maneuver.
Everyone’s a comedian.
(Laff Track)
In Washington their going crazy
With all these legal cases.
Last week, here in Chicago, an attorney
Asked “how long have you known the
Defendent? The Witness said
About 12 years. The attorney said tell the
Jury whether you think the defendant is
The type of man what would
steal this money or not.
The witness said ‘How much was it.”

Our laws are changing everyday here

Decided that if someone With multiple
Personalities Threatens to kill herself, it’s
Considered a hostage situation.
(Laff Track)
Maybe you heard, In Rome there
Having a drought. Their waiting
For the clouds to pour out rain.
Every fountain has been capped off.
It’s getting so hot, and dry, (howHot is it)
No really, the problem Is so serious....so hot
And dry that Priests are
Using Pinot Grigio for Baptisms.
(Laff Track)
The internet is the most frustrating
Thing on the planet. If you have a
Slow connection you know what I mean.
We asked folks how slow does they’re

When you click the “Send” Button, a
Little door opens on the side
