Hoppy: “I have tobacco in my pouch”
Hoppy is a
kangaroo, performing with the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus
at Madison Square Garden. J.Y. “Doc”
Henderson comes out after the game to help handle Hoppy, as well as her joey
Hippy. Henderson has been the circus
veterinarian for the last 21 years, and is already something of a legend in
those circles. He would go on to have a
forty year career with the circus.
[Bill Gaylord] from New York City puts a small portable screen
between himself and Garry: “I’ll shoot a 6000 degree flame at you from this
side”
Gaylord works
for the National Carbon Company, a division of Union Carbide, and is
demonstrating their heat resistant “graphite cloth.” Gaylord says the current use is to protect
components in rockets and missiles, but the fabric would soon turn up in space
suits worn by astronauts.
Special guests Marty Allen and Steve
Rossi perform part of their stand-up act, consisting of brief interviews with
famous figures in the news, all played by Allen. Once the routine is established, they give
the panelists setup lines and have them come up with their own punch
lines. The duo is relatively new to
television, thought they first teamed up in 1957 and would work together
successfully until 1968, reuniting several times after that. They are promoting their debut album “Hello
Dere!” (ABC Paramount 1962). The title
is Marty Allen’s catchphrase.
