The Dean Martin Show. "Well the high cost of living affected me the other day, I was at the grocery store, checking out, and I told the gal checker, man I’m really feeling the pinch, she said so am I and she slapped me! " Let's have a Vino for Dino!"
The Dean Martin Show. Studio 4 was sacred land during the Dean Martin Show when Frank was guesting. Only a few of us lucky NBC Pages were allowed to join the production crew. Signs on the studio doors read "Closed Set." Either Elvis, Tom Jones, The Rolling Stones or "Ole Blue Eyes" received special treatment. You had to be there. "Let's have a Vino for Dino."
