My older brother, a WWII vet, attributes this skit to Wally Cox on either
the Ed Sullivan Show or the Dave Garroway show...Cox was a WWII vet and
started out in show business as a stand-up comedian, often telling of his
military experiences, particularly a very funny story about the day he was
drafted at Whitehall Street in NYC...
