Eleanor Roosevelt
gave Lou Gehrig the clap.

:02:03
She also gave it to
Chiang Kai-shek... (chuckles)

:02:07
And he gave it to J Edgar Hoover,
man... which is how it really spread.

:02:11
A boy gets the clap. Can he go to his
father? He can't relate to his father.

:02:16
He's lucky if he can go to a schmuck
who sweeps up the drugstore.

:02:20
- ''l gotta talk to you. ''
- ''What's the matter?''

:02:22
- ''l got the clap. ''
- ''Oh, Jesus, where'd you get that?''

:02:25
''Painting a car!
What's the difference? l got it. ''

:02:28
''What do you want?''
:02:29
''You work in a drugstore.
Give me some pills. ''

:02:32
- ''Oh, all right. Here. ''
- ''Dexedrine Spansules. ls this good?''

:02:37
''lt's all the same horseshit. Keeps
you awake so you know you got it. ''

:02:41
''The reason l want these pills is l got
a good job. l don't wanna get laid off. ''

:02:45
- ''Yeah? Where you working?''
- ''The meat-packing plant. ''

:02:49
l'll tell you what we really need.
:02:51
Maybe one day Jerry Lewis
would go on television,

:02:54
and instead of getting hung up
with muscular dystrophy,

:02:57
he'd have a clapathon!
:02:59
Forget it. lt'll never happen.
You know why?

:03:03
Because talking about it makes you
the worst person in the community.

:03:08
(man) When did you first meet Lenny?
:03:10
lt was back in 1 951 . Baltimore.
:03:15
l was, uh, headlining... Headlining?
l was working at this club.

:03:20
A-one, two, a-one, two, three, four!
:03:22
(drums)
:03:25
(as Louis Armstrong) ? Now when
the saints go marching in, yeah

:03:30
? Now when the saints
go marching in...

:03:33
(? continues song on trumpet)
:03:48
- Yeah!
- (applause)

:03:50
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
:03:52
Here's the moment that
you've all been waiting for.

:03:56
So without further ado,
may we present ''Hot'' Honey Harlowe!
