Okay. So I went back to the rehearsal club and I called a meeting for all the girls. I said, we're going to put on a show. We did. I wrote my own material. Everybody wrote their own material. We sent out penny postcards to every agent and producer in town saying, you're always saying, let us know when you're in something. Well, we're in something.

He was one of the kindest people ever. And most generous people. And he was a big star. Yeah. I remember when I was hired as the second banana on his show. Yeah. And Derwood Kirby was the second banana also. And there would be times when we'd be reading the script on a Monday and we were going to tape on a Friday. Yeah.

He might have a joke or a punchline and he'd look at it and he'd say, you know what? Give this to Carol or give this to Derwood. They can say it funnier than I can. Ah. That's who he was. It was the Gary Moore show, but he wanted everybody to shine. And I learned that. And that's why my show, I never really called it my show. I called it our show.

And then I would shine. And we totally... It was a rep company. We totally supported each other. Since Caesar was that way with Carl Reiner and Imogene and then later Nanette Febre, you spread it around because it only makes the show better. And I learned that from Gary.

Nobody could touch him. So brilliant. Yes. And so this one morning we were pre-taping something and Petula Clark was on as a guest and everything. And Harvey was in his costume and

I could take it if he wanted to be a little curmudgeon with me or something, or Tim could take it, and we'd get him out of it, and he'd be fine. But I thought, you don't do this to a guest star.
