Silly Thinking

STShowcase.

Your host: Mister Hal Holbrook.

HH: Good evening again "Silly Thinkers", I'm Hal Holbrook, host of "S. T. Showcase", and this is "S.T. Showcase".

Tonight to celebrate the marvelous family hit "Around The World In Eighty Days" (in theatres now from Disney Studios and starring the National Treasure of Hong Kong, Jackie Chan) we here at "S.T. Showcase" thought we would use our magic time machine to wisk you back to January of 2004 for a memorable interview with the original Passportut in the original "Around The World In Eighty Days", Mexico's former National Treasure, "Pepe" himself, Cantinflas.

But Hal, you may be saying to yourself, isn't he dead? And you'd be right. But that never stops "S.T."'s own Dead Announcer from getting an exclusive interview.

So buckle up your time machine, for a magic carpet ride on your magic carpet computer time machine; gather your family around your portal to the past, as we wisk you back to January, 2004 for Passportut from "Around The World In Eighty Days" CANTINFLAS!
