"We try to come up with one good sketch each show," he continued. "Steve is a very funny guy and a good singer. We're not doing anything to stop him - or Eydie - from proving they're complete entertainers.
"Steve and Edyie don't yet have the status of a Dinah Shore or a Perry Como. But by the end of the summer I think they'll have proved that they can carry a whole hour." |
