I loved Red Buttons "never got a dinner" routine. It was so funny. He did it a lot on the Dean Martin roasts.
Too easy!

I have always wondered what Totie Fields was famous for!
She was so funny! My whole family just loved her. It's a shame she died so young.
13 wild guess on the last question the others were easy though a terrible pic of newhart , took a while to decide . must be the hair
I thought the Newhart picture was spot on, but I had no clue who was in the one for #12! All I knew was it wasn't Phil Silvers.
