Here's a father giving a toast at a wedding. Lucky there were cameras on hand to catch it!

Watch on YouTube

I can't think of any wedding I've been to in person where I actually cried, but this one got me, in a good way.

I was in that show, nine years after the clip, doing Ray Walston's part. I guess now we'd say Jerry Lewis's part. I could also see Shatner in it — there's only one song for him, but god knows he'd sell it. (At a discount!)

Let's see.
I've seen Applegate played by:

Phil Silvers
Ray Walston,
Eddie Bracken
And "Those Were the Good Old Days" by Ron Spivak.
Bracken was the best of the lot (no one pitched a fit on stage like he did).
But, Spivak's one song blew me away.
Not just because he did it so well, but his "stall" was perfect.

Sometimes I wish I'd gone to some Broadway shows, or even regional (or touring) shows. Oh, well.

The Bracken version was at the Jones Beach Marine Theater.
Joe Namath played Joe Hardy.
