# Colgate Comedy Hour: S6E1, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis host

(DVD Quality) Aired: September 18, 1955 Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis host the season premiere of the series now titled The Colgate Variety Hour.

In a pool hall sketch, Martin is trying to play a game, but Lewis shows up causing nothing but distractions. Before it's all over, they're both covered in chalk dust. He then pitches Martin on a song he's written called, "Yetta, I Can't Forget Her." When Martin passes on it, Lewis turns on the radio to hear Sinatra singing it. They wrap up the sketch by stepping in front of the curtain and performing "Side by Side." This version talks about their recent feuding and how they're now made up. A boxer (Lewis) makes his debut as a singer, with his nose taped down and lots of "dees" and "dohs" in the lyric. In a nightclub setting, Martin performs "I Like 'Em All." Then Lewis comes out to plug their new movie You're…
