Hi.
I'm Loomis Simmons.
.
.
and I'm here to tell you, you can never be too careful.
.
.
not with all these here unwanted pregnancies.
.
.
diseases and all these other hoodoos.
.
.
wanting to come between you and your main squeeze, Mr.
Johnson-Ronson.
Know what I'm saying? That's why I'm here to protect you with the Loomis Simmons.
.
.
Custom Built Condom.
Today modern "womens" will pitch a fuss.
.
.
and leave you out in the cold.
.
.
'less you put a raincoat on your little man.
God bless their tiny little souls.
That's where my Loomis Simmons Custom Built Condom come in.
The Loomis Condom was specially designed.
.
.
to fit snugly on to me.
.
.
and it keeps you safe from harm's way.
.
.
'cause I'm the one who wear it.
[Chuckles.]
Just give me $100 and I'll take all the risk.
Now, you must be "axing".
.
.
"Where do I come in, Loomis?" You pay for the hotel room and wait in the lobby.
It's that simple.
Here's how the system works.
You take the girl out for drinks; you take the girl out to dinner; you take the girl out dancing; and once you're sure she's ready to get nasty.
.
.
then you call Loomis.
Loomis comes over to your house.
Loomis wears the custom-built Loomis Condom.
Loomis have freaky circus sex with your woman.
Then Loomis leave.
It's that simple.
Hell, you can even sip a scotch.
.
.
and cheer me on, if that's your freaky thing.
But don't take my word for it.
Let's talk to some of my satisfied "customears.
" I don't like wearing a condom.
.
.
because I can't feel the intensity of the moment.
Now, with the Loomis Simmons Custom Built Condom.
.
.
I still don't feel nothin'.
.
.
but I don't get all hot and sweaty either.
After I got these sores.
.
.
I never thought I'd trust a condom again.
Then I heard about Loomis Simmons' revolutionary technology.
Now I can please the ladies and play it safe.
[Groans.]
[Panting.]
Go! I enjoyed every minute.
- Can I have some of that, man? - Uh.
.
.
Just.
.
.
Just keep it, man.
That's exciting, isn't it? Now, a lot of people say to me.
.
.
"Loomis, why would I want a complete stranger.
.
.
to share such an intimate moment with my woman friend?" And I say, " Shut up.
"I'm trying to have freaky circus sex with them.
I ain't sticking around to cuddle.
That's your job.
" Let's be honest.
There's only so much Loomis can do.
But if you throw in an extra $40.
.
.
I'll even smoke a cigarette while I'm putting my thick and thins back on.
.
.
for absolutely free.
So order your Loomis Simmons Custom Built Condom.
.
.
and leave the driving to me.
- [Together.]
We want food.
We want food.
- Settle down.
Settle down.
- We want food.
We want.
.
.
- Settle down.
Settle down, everyone.
I know you have your hearts set on a turkey dinner with all the trimmings.
.
.
but we all decided to getthe most food for our money.
.
.
- and that is two cans of Spam.
- [Groans.]
Ah, but we spent the extra money we saved on a special treat for you.
We're gonna have some Irish folk music.
So let's give a big homeless shelter welcome.
.
.
to Shamus O'Shanty O'Shame.
[Acoustic Guitar.]
[Belches.]
Oh, thank you very much.
There's nothing like singing on a full stomach.
And may your holiday today be full.
.
.
of pink hearts, yellow moons, blue stars and green clovers.
Hoo-hoo! I'm gonna start off today with a song about a man named Fluther.
.
.
the patron saint of the poor.
.
.
and severe groin injuries.
And it goes like this.
[Folk.]
And that's it.
[Weeping.]
- You've got to be a little bit more sensitive.
- Well, then, how about.
.
.
How about a song about leprechauns, huh? A pot of gold, song of hope, something like that.
It goes like this.
[Folk.]
That's it.
- I need a drink.
- One day at a time, Billy.
No, man, I can't take one song at a time.
Bye, Billy.
See ya later.
[Giggles.]
- He was our biggest success.
- Well.
.
.
Five years of sobriety out the window.
Mr.
O'Shame, I implore you, sing something to lift these men's spirits.
Okay, I've got just the song.
- You, sir.
.
.
What's your name? - Jerry.
Jerry! How are you, Jerry? Jerry, come on up here, son.
Jerry, do you feel like there's days where you just want to end it all? - Yeah.
- Yes, you do.
Oh, but we've worked very hard with Jerry.
.
.
and he now realizes that there is a lot to live for.
I'm gonna dedicate this next song to you.
It's called "Keep Lookin' Up.
" [Folk.]
There you go.
[Laughs.]
Are you crazy? All you're doing is singing songs that depress them.
All right, gentlemen, there he is.
Grab him.
Come on.
- Oh! Oh! - Okay, Shamus, it's time to go back to the home.
- What's going on here? - Last night this turkey.
.
.
hitched a ride on the Prozac truck.
Yeah, we didn't miss him until bed check this morning.
I'm no ordinary turkey.
I'm a Butterball.
I'm the king of the Butterballs.
Gobble, gobble, gobble.
.
.
- [Indistinct.]
- Gobble, gobble, gobble! Ooh! Oh, my breasts are delicious and tender.
Ooh! Interracial couples.
.
.
Difficult enough for children, but what if one parent was a major star.
.
.
and treated you like you were a major embarrassment? White Hollywood, black children.
.
.
that's our focus on today's Geraldo.
[Cheers, Applause.]
We are joined by the seed corn of some of America's greatest stars.
Our first guest has just writtenthis painful memoir.
.
.
Beam Me Up, Daddy.
.
.
which chronicles how he was shunned.
.
.
by his natural father, William Shatner.
Please welcome T.
J.
Shatner.
[Cheers, Applause.]
[Imitating William Shatner.]
Thank you, Geraldo.
It is indeed a pleasure.
.
.
to be on board.
My next guest is a walking example of what happens.
.
.
when a great director redirects his creative juices, if you will.
Please welcome Tonisha Allen, daughter of Woody Allen.
- Tonisha, hello.
- [Cheers, Applause.]
[Imitating Woody Allen.]
It's, uh, you know, a real pleasure to be here.
.
.
uh-uh, Geraldo.
L-I believe it was, uh, uh, my father.
.
.
Or was it Martin Luther King? Who said, "I have a dream.
" A-A-And in the dream I'm-I'm butt naked.
.
.
doing the nasty with my rabbi.
Oh, uh, and-and the worst part.
.
.
is-is he keeps asking me to talk dirty in Hebrew.
Now let's meet our last guest.
I'm sure you've all heard about the recent biography.
.
.
that paints a shockingly promiscuous portrait.
.
.
of comedy legend Bob Hope.
Today I bring you the progeny of one such illicit union.
.
.
the son Bob Hope fathered with the late Moms Mabley.
.
.
Darius Hope.
- Let's hear it.
- Yeah.
Hey.
[Cheers, Applause.]
[Imitating Bob Hope.]
Hey, how is everybody doing? This is wild.
I wanna tell you.

uh, 26 years old.
Yeah.
Hey, that's wild.
Darius, have you ever met your famous father? Hey, I sure did, Geraldo.
.
.
and I wanna tell you, he even offered me a job.
Was is a personal assistant job or a joke writer position? Hey, no.
Actually, he gave me a lamp and a jockey's outfit.
.
.
and told me to stand on his lawn.
Not wild at all.
Now, Tonisha, how did your father.
.
.
get to know your mother? [Stammering.]
Very, very well.
.
.
uh, uh, uh, Geraldo.
In fact, in a word, biblically.
Uh, my mother was the only black woman ever to appear.
.
.
in a Woody Allen film.
Of course, she ended up on the cutting room floor.
.
.
with-with Woody on top of her.
Well, wasn't that sweet? That's all the time we have for today.
Please tune in tomorrow, when our focus will be.
