Eddie Fisher

The reason I drink is because when I'm sober I think I'm Eddie Fisher. Our Guest Relations Super, Hap Chamberlain, gave us our assignments each week. NBC Pages, ushered tourists around NBC Burbank acting like Disneyland guides. "Skated" on that job, but got assigned to work on the Dean Martin Show on Sunday's. Got a great story about how I talked my way into standing next to Dean but I digress. Dino's guest that first night on the job was Eddie Fisher. My job was to keep Eddie hidden from the audience until he was introduced. Dean saw Eddie during the first break, looked over joking "(what's that three letter word for a Jewish person doing here?)"  We all "cracked up."  The PC police would skewer him today!
