Dean Martin

"Martin's show was a 'safe harbor', where the tuxedo-clad host smoked on-camera, joked about his drinking, large family, and inability to read cue cards, and encouraged his viewers to 'keep those cards and letters coming in'."

Dean actually borrowed that from a country DJ of the early fifties, seems it may have been Wayne Rainey working for WCKY in Cincinatti, Ohio.
