Great Homage to Vaudeville
The skit after the opening monologue is hilarious. Jack and Bob go to their theatrical agent's office were we see some great juggling by Duke Johnson. Then, Jack and Bob do their schtick in front of Jesse White, the theatrical agent. Jesse keeps a straight face through most of it, but looses it when Jack flubs one of his lines. It is actually just as funny watching Jesse trying to regain his composure than it is watching the act. It doesn't help when Bob Hope capitalizes on the flub and makes Jesse laugh even more. Classic.
