      • Dean Martin: For years he was on the TV on Death Valley Days, where every week he worked with a team of mules. From there he stepped into something soft, politics. In all his picture career he never made an X-rated movie, his pictures were rated "M" you couldn't get in to see one unless you were accompanied by a moron. His movies were so bad they were shown at drive-outs.

      • (very prophetic statement) Phyllis: If you ever get to be President and I think you may and there's a depression, try not to have it at a bad time like when everybody's out of work.

      • Jack Benny: Ladies and gentleman I would like to say that Greg Garrison the producer of this show told me I only have four minutes to talk. That's impossible I stare longer than that.

      • Ronald Reagan: I've listened to the entire show and the best thing I can do to show my appreciation to all of you, is to invoke executive priviledge, I refuse to release the tape. I know that you all realize that I might having to tell you in the job I have, I have to make a great many decisions and let me just say about the decision I made in regard to tonight, with hindsight to the best of my recollection, at this point in time, I really goofed.
