MEETING NOTES:
DICK: We need a young family-friendly comic. Nothing dirty. Nothing controversial.
ED: Yeah we can find that.
DICK: He needs to tailor the set to our show.
ED: You mean… be not very funny?
DICK: Hey! It can be funny, but he's gotta ruin it with awkward commentary. You know, like when you talk to Johnny and me.
ED: Just any commentary?
DICK: No. he's gotta tie it all in to bloopers and maybe a practical joke.
ED: Who's gonna write this material for him?
DICK: Let him use his own jokes. If he's bright, he'll figure out a way to do the tie-ins.--
Jerry takes the stage:
Thank you very much. Thank you. Bloopers… You know, I flew in on a plane. Talk about bloopers. You don't want bloopers on a plane. Stewardesses, they uh, they never make a mistake. They're too happy. They do their job. They come out there. They put on their little show. You know, before the plane takes off.
DICK AND ED: [in the wings] This is better than we could have imagined.
