The Dean Martin Show 1971

Greg Garrison

The Dean Martin Show. The brains behind "The Dean Martin Show" was Greg Garrison. When Greg entered the studio, we all stood at attention, (almost). Making eye contact with Garrison gave you a sense that he knew you were part of the Show's success. After a week of rehearsals, the crew, the guests, took pleasure in General Garrison's lead. The number #1 Show on Thursday nites. "Thank you for your service!" Let's have a Vino for Dino!

Mike Colonna THE SHRINK MICHAEL DEES

DEES Please send in my next patient.
DINO How you doing doc. (Cigarette in Hand)
DEES How can I help you today? How do you feel.
DINO To be honest Doc, I’ve got a huge problem, I think I’m Dean Martin. DEES Dean Martin?
DINO You know the other day, I don’t know why but the Mayor of Beverly Hills put up two signs on my block, Crawl and Don’t crawl. I knew right away something was wrong.
DEESWell do you drink a lot?
DINO Not really I put my favorite drink in the freezer, and after a few hours I eat it like a Popsicle.
DEES What does your wife think about your problem being Dean Martin.
DINOWe had breakfast this morning she gave me the silent treatment. We didn’t speak a single word, it’s all my son’s fault, he wasn’t holding the cue cards high enough.
DEES Do you like being married?
DINO I love being married but I’m not a fanatic about it.
DEES You must have a loving wife?
DINO You know what it means when you come home when there’s someone there to meet you with a hug, a kiss and a kind word, it means your in the wrong house.
DEES Seems like you have a lot of problems being Dean Martin how do you sleep at night.
DINO Well the other night I didn’t get any sleep, I woke up in the middle of the night and felt something pretty hard under my pillow, the sidewalk.
DEES Do you have any idea what time it was?
DINO You know Doc, I didn’t know what time it was I drank my watch.
DEES Care to talk about any other problems?
DINO Yea, I saw my heart doctor the other day, I had a real bad chest cold. I told him I was having the chills, so he put me in a room with a woman that was having hot flashes.
DEES I’m sure you love your wife and she loves you. Do you treat her well?
DINO Sure I do, the other day she asked me to look at some furs, so I took her to the Zoo.
DEES Well let’s keep working on this problem. Your pal Dean Martin seems to have taken over you life.
DINO Welcome to my world Doc.
DEES Well let’s keep these meetings as often as possible, I know I can help you.
DINO Right Doc. You know, something in my heart keeps sayin, My some place is here.

Dad and Dean

The Dean Martin Show. A few years back we took a trip to Italy, we took a small boat from Ischia, to Naples, then on to Sorrento for a cooking class. As we reached the beautiful small harbor in Sorrento I could hear my dad and Dino singing together, "Guarda il mare com'e bello ! Spira tanto sentimento." Dino and my dad, two great Italians.

Dean and Frank's Thoughts!

Dean Martin..“I want to be remembered as a damn good entertainer, nothing spectacular. A good entertainer who made people enjoy themselves and made them laugh a little. I want them to think 'He was a nice guy. He did pretty good and we loved him.'" Frank Sinatra .."The big lesson in life, baby, is never be scared of anyone or anything. You may be a puzzle, but I like the way the parts fit. I'm gonna live till I die. Basically, I'm for anything that gets you through the night - be it prayer, or a bottle of Jack Daniels."

Mom and Dad Visit the Dean Martin Show

The Dean Martin Show. It was always fun to rope off seats in the front row for my Mom Vickie and Dad Jerry. They loved Dino and couldn't be prouder watching their son interact with Dean, the Stage Managers, Makeup artists, and Choreographers. It reminded dad of his old day's as an singer "back in the 30's, on Chicago radio's Italian hour, where he was a regular singing "Itralian" songs! "Let's have a Vino!"

Dean Martin Lives Tucson Greg Garrison VO

The Dean Martin Show. Through a "string of miracles" I began working at NBC Burbank in September of 1965. A few weeks after Dean had taped his first two shows. I came face to face w/Greg Garrison, the Boss, (Director) and instantly I was in awe. His resume working on big shows in NY was unparalleled ! Dean's idea was to do a "show," no strings attached. Come in on Sunday, rehearse tape and "I'm outta here!" My goal was to get as close to Dean without creating a stir, that I did! Instead of ushering outside, I walked into the studio, like I owned the place, planted myself next to Dean's chair, nobody asked any questions. Two seasons under my belt and lot's of memories. "Let's have a Vino for Dino!"

Dean Martin & Barbara Eden

"I Dream of Jeannie," Barbara Eden stood next to me waiting for her sketch w/Dean. She caught me staring, embarrassed I looked away for a second. I looked back and saw that beautiful smile. As an NBC Page, I was surrounded by beauty, Elke Sommer, Raquel Welch, Lannie Kazan, Angie Dickinson, Joey Heatherton, Goldie Hawn, the Golddiggers, to name a few. I was a lucky guy, standing next to Dean. I vividly remember spending those Sunday's working on The Dean Martin Show. "Let's have a Vino for Dino!"

Brothers From A Different Mother

Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra were brothers from a different mother. They found each when Hollywood was seeping with glitz and glamor. They had a natural chemistry. Dino with a perpetual twinkle in his eyes and Frank with a mischievous grin. Dean's daughter Deana once said “To watch them on stage together was brilliant because you could see the love in their eyes, the respect for each other.” The Desert Sun.

"The Dean Martin FedEx Caper "

"The Dean Martin FedEx Caper '' I delivered a package to the Fed Ex Store in LaQuinta this afternoon. As soon as I walked in, "Ain't that a Kick in the Head" started playing store wide. I told the girl handling my package "It's Dean Martin's Birthday Today!" She said who's Dean Martin? I was shocked !!!!" I almost "smacked her, but she was bigger than me!"

Alberto's Rancho Mirage

"The Rat Pack" Once upon a time in "Beautiful Downtown Burbank," I happened to be in the midst of "Old Blue Eyes," "The King of Cool," and the "Candy Man." Little did I know decades later I would be sitting in Alberto's Restaurant Rancho Mirage where my "Pallies" once enjoyed Calamari, Oso Buco, or Chicken Cacciatore. The bartender in that back room had plenty of stories, I relished them all. Alberto's is now closed, who bought that legendary booth?

When our Eyes Met!

Dean and Frank "Two Legends!" I was picking up material one Sunday afternoon from graphic arts, when I noticed Frank entering from the back parking lot with his entourage. Frank was in the lead, heading toward Dean's Studio. He's moving toward me....as I passed Frank, rather than "Hi Frank" I lifted my eyebrows to acknowledge him. I'll never forget, as Frank's eyes met mine with my eyebrows half way up my forehead, Frank returned the hello, our eyes and eyebrows met, did I know Frank Sinatra?..... Yes, I traded eyebrows with Frank Sinatra.

My Favorites!!!

Dino was my favorite, as an NBC Page in Burbank, "back in the day," Frank on his way to studio 4 gave me a wink, Dino, I got to hold his drink while he did his monologue during my days on the Dean Martin Show, and Sammy? BS'd with him one Thursday nite at the Artist Entrance. He was there to see Dean, "but Sammy, Dean only works on Sunday's!" Three super memories!
