Total Comedy Genius

When this excellent production was cancelled after a brief run, I was disappointed and angry. And yet another example of a bad-executive-decision. Jack Sheldon told this joke on a Bob Hope gig I was on: 'I wish Glenn Miller would have lived and his music would have died !' The whole band cracked up. Jack was funny, and so was this show, and it should have continued.
