Now, we continue with more screen captures of Jack Kelly in "The Shoot-In At NBC".
Here, Bob Hope nervously eyes the "enemy":
JK asks Phil Carey who the "two characters" are at the end of the bar. PC tells him they look like "Geritol hippies".
Bob Hope tries to cheer up Steve Allen by suggesting they watch this great comic on television--Bob Hope! So, he has the bartender turn on the TV.
Suddenly, JK remembers it's time for PC's show, too. ("So why are we watching Pappy Yokum?")
(By the way, doesn't Steverino's outfit kinda remind you of JK's costume in that Batman episode?)
PC isn't too happy with the Hope show, so he decides to shoot the TV, using JK's head to steady his aim:
Bullseye!
The special gets even sillier after this. The "comics" steal all the horses from the "cowboys", because you can't make westerns without horses. And, the horses end up hidden everywhere, even in Perry Como's bed (but this is not The Godfather, and it's a whole horse!) However, the cowboys rent more horses and charge toward the comics' hideout. Although the comics try to repel the invading cowboys with golf balls and seltzer spray, the westerners triumph at the end. (It's a wonder they didn't all catch Dodge Fever.) ;->
Thanks for posting the pictures. My favorite is the one of JK laughing ... he really looks like he was having a great time with this skit.
ReplyDeleteBTW, is the actual episode available
for viewing ... I would love to see it being played out.
I never knew this T.V. special existed, but it sounds like vintage Bob Hope. I'd love to see it because I never doubted Jack's comedy talents for an instant. Thanks for sharing this. :D
