[Dixielandjazz] Louis Armstrong on I've Got a Secret

[pj.ladd]

of possible interest:>>

Was Louis on something?. His answers were either garbled or nonsensical and 
he seemed completely at sea.  He gave the impresion of being either very 
badly briefed or stone deaf and not following  what anyone else was saying.

Of course the audience, unless the laughter was canned, thought everything 
he said was hilarious but it is a well known maxim that a well known funny 
man has only to say "Pass the salt" and  everybody laughs.

I thought it was embarrassing

Cheers
