I always liked Jan Murray doing standup…
He told a true story once…. that since he was a hypochondriac…every time he went into a new city he would visit a doctor for a checkup.
Sooo He was opening for Jerry Lewis in Vegas and asked Jerry to recommend a doctor he could visit…”Sure” Jerry said.
Jan goes to the doctor….the nurse points to the exam room and said “Just take off all your clothes and the doctor will be in, in a few minutes”. So Jan was sitting naked on the table and in walks a naked man and sits down next to him…doesn’t say a word just sits next to him looking forward. Finally Jan says “Are you waiting for the doctor also?”….the man turns to him…..”I am the doctor!!!” Lewis had set him up!!!
