The year is 1924.

James and Martha Peck of the prominent
Boston Pecks give birth to a son.

Nicknamed Mr. Peck, the lad grows up
amidst Boston Brahmin society and is

expected to join the family law firm
upon graduation from Yale.

War breaks out, and Peck finds his
calling running dance marathons for the

Befriending luminaries like Dean Martin
and Jerry Lewis, he soon realizes his

future lies in the entertainment world.

He moves to Hollywood and in 1948 opens
Mr.

Peck's, not realizing the profound
influence his club will have on the next

several generations of performers.

For 40 years, Peck's is a showcase for
every big name who passes through town,

as well as a launching pad for local
talent.

Every night is New Year's Eve at the
club, as Mr.

Peck plays host to the biggest names in
show business.

Want to see a star?

Don't look in the sky.

Come to Peck's.

But there are some rough times.

In 1956, the mayor shuts down Mr. Peck's
after mobster Sonny Galante is gunned

down during a set by Joey Bishop.

Then in 1962, Peck suffers a nervous
breakdown and joins a cult of Satanists

think Red Buttons is the Antichrist.

Red never forgives Mr. Peck, and their
feud becomes the stuff of Hollywood

legends.

Today, Peck's faces its toughest setback
of them all when billionaire

industrialist Alan Trugman purchases the
property and threatens Peck with

eviction.

So tonight, comedy crusader Gary
Shandling, who hasn't forgotten his

his one -man effort to save the comedy
club where he started, has rounded up

some of the club's famous alumni for
part two of this once -in -a -lifetime

event, the all -star benefit to save Mr.

Peck's. Will the club be saved? Will
Gary succeed in his attempt to satisfy

audience who've gone berserk with their
desire to see a reunion between Mr. Peck

and... his estranged friend Red Buttons.
Doesn't Red have a nice house? I think

so. And I also think you should stay
tuned as... It's Gary Shandling's show

presents his all -star benefit to Dave
Mr.

Peck. Starring Steve Allen, Michael
Davis, Tony Orlando and

Don Rob Reiner.

Father Guido Saducci, Gary Shandling,
and hopefully Red Buttons.

Look, I save your breath. I won't have
anything to do with Mr. Peck. He's

I'll do his benefit when hell freezes
over.

It's cold in here.

Hey, Red, you know, Mr. Peck, he's
really broken up about all of this. He

have given the world if he would have
show up for Donald there.

And his audience, they love you. He's
right, Red. You know, there could be a

riot, I think, if you don't show up.
What is it, Red?

It's a chloroform.

He's out. I keep it in my car in case I
have a date.

Come on, let's change him.

I'm not changing him. Okay, then you can
shave him.

Let's find his tuxedo.

I've gained the razor.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, a young
crooner who began his career right here

at my place. And two lovely ladies who
began as ex -pets right here at my bar.

Ladies and gentlemen, enjoy the musical
notions of Tony Orlando and Don.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very
much. You know, I have a very special

feeling for Mr. Peck's because it was
right here where the girls and I first

that little tune called Tie Yellow
Ribbon Round.

But you know, I have just too

much respect for the integrity of that
song to mess with the lyrics in any way.

So tonight, instead, for Mr. Peck's, we
have decided to do a special and

different version of Knock Three Times.
You ready for that?

All right.

Here, Tony.

Hand together, folks.

Hey, folks, can you hear me out there?

Hex may be closing, but drug men been
nosing around here.

Shecky, Henny, Hope, and Brian.

The doors, they sing like my fire.

All these big winners were once just
beginners here at X -Lakes.

Everybody now knock three times on the
table if you love X.

Twice on the glass if you don't want to
level.

Listen to me now, not three times. If
you're right, pack a big check.

Get off your duck or over the door.

Common action.

Common action.

We need the money. We need the money. We
need the money.

Jack's over here. Jack's over here.
Jack's over here.

Jack's over here. I've got the card.
Everybody at this table.

Lady, how about the sable?

That means our hero just had zero.

Hello.

Everybody now knock three times if
you're right. Pack a big check.

Get off your duck.

Cough over the door.

I don't see you, Root.

Tony Orlando, son.

You want to go some more?

Well, the heck with integrity. Let's
just do a tie of yellow ribbon and on

there as late as we can until Rhett gets
here. Whatever.

I think he's got a lot of change in his
pockets or something.

Where are we going to put him?

Oh, my glasses. Here, you're going to
put him on the front of the car.

Back of the deer hunter?

Put him on the front.

I hope he'll be okay. Easy, watch the
paint.

I just washed this.

Okay, get in the car. You'll be okay,
Mr. Button. You're talking to his feet.

You'll be okay, Mr. Button.

Okay, ready? Hope you're gonna stand all
right. Watch the dog.

Oh, no. I didn't... Brad, put him back
on.

Put him back on.

Blanket's gonna be a mess. He's gonna be
mad.

I've never been to Mr. Peck's. I don't
know anybody who has been to Mr. Peck's.

But if you have any money left over
after you've donated it for worthwhile

causes, maybe you'll throw a few dollars
his way.

And now be dazzled by the juggling
notions of Michael Davis.

Thank you very much.

My name is Michael Davis.

Thank you.

I'd like to say what a great
inconvenience it is for me to be here.

Red, Red, you've got to wake up. You've
got to wake up now. Red, Red, Red, come

on, come on. Ho, ho, hee, hee, ho, ho,
come on. Hey, Gary, father.

Hey, Tony.

Hey, Tony.

It is Red.

Tony, he can't talk tonight. He's
resting. Yeah, really resting. Really

He's out.

He can go out. He can sleep like that
before he goes on?

Yeah. Yeah, I've never seen anything
like it. I mean, I'm a nervous wreck

I go on.

That's amazing.

You talk about a pro, huh, Father? He's
a pro.

Great set, Tony. Thank you. Thank you,
Gary.

That was great. Thanks, Father. Thanks a
lot. Have a ball. See you later.

Now I'd like to do my impression of
juggling on a motorcycle.

so it'll be like the best.

The tiny ball.

That is unusual.

What I've learned to do is to spit this
tiny ball high into the air and catch it

with my mouth.

I don't know.

But why would anyone want to watch?

Quickness.

As I toss the two on the side, quickly
snatching...

Or I throw the one and I snatch him.

Mostly this won't take long.

This is great.

Hi, man. This is great. Hey, Red.

Hey. Hey, where am I?

You're backstage at Mr. Peck's. Mr.
Peck's? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, Mr.

Yeah.

How'd I get here?

Derek flew up on you.

What? It doesn't matter. All that
matters is they're ready. They're ready

you to go on. You look great. Look,
you're in a tux, and you gotta go on.

Who dressed me? Huh? Well, we both took
turns. I don't like guys dressing me.

Come on. What does it matter? I'm not
going on. You gotta go on. What? I don't

like this kind of stuff.

I didn't go on that. time they
chloroformed me at the Aladdin. You

Aladdin? And I didn't go on when they
slipped me a Mickey at Caesars, and I

certainly did not go on when they hit me
with that blackjack over the head at

Caesars and I'm not through.

All right. What happened?

I also like that light bulb, period. Not
again.

Oh, man, what are we going to do? What a
good shave I've given him. Did you see?

Look at him. Look at him. What a mess.

Thank you, and that, of course, was...

Johnny Mercer's great song, Tambourine.

And now, now here's a little song I
wrote while I was playing the last one.

What?

Excuse me.

You're kidding. Seriously?

My God, I didn't think... Well, it
worked out. I've just been informed by

that the moment you've all been waiting
for has arrived, believe it or not. Here

he is.

Yes! Red button!

I saw him do this bit once before years
ago at the Aladdin.

Oh, isn't Red great?

Really worth waiting for. Oh, yeah,
you're going to be so creative, you

know what's going to come out of him.

this time.

Yeah, let's... Well, good evening,
ladies and gentlemen.

Oh, my goodness.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, you never
have to ask me twice.

When it comes to a benefit, all you have
to do is ask... Ask me once to be there

because this is my life and this is what
I do. I don't do anything else. All you

got to do is say, Red, it's a benefit.
And I go because this is what I do. I

don't do anything else. And it doesn't
matter where.

It doesn't matter where.

I am there in Jerusalem.

In Jerusalem, my friends, at a wailing
wall rally to save the whales.

I was there.

I was wailing. I was rallying. I was
walling. I was there.

That's why I am here tonight in
Nicaragua at the annual Up Yours Oliver

Banana Picking Festival.

I was picking. I was upping. I was
lording. I was there.

Oh, you damn right.

I am out.

That's my friends in Los Angeles at a
middle finger freeway shooting jamboree.

I was middling. I was fingering.

at a small cocktail party for premature
ejaculators.

I was there. I left early, but I was
there.

And I was out.

That's the way I am. I am always there.
That's why I'm here tonight, to do this

benefit. Not many people get a benefit.
Some of the biggest people in the

history of the world never, never had a
benefit.

I happen to have right here in my inside
pocket, ladies and gentlemen, A small

list of some of the biggies since the
beginning of time who never, never had a

benefit.

Eve.

Eve, who said to the serpent in the
Garden of Eden, I could go for a little

snack, but I don't know you for madam.

Never, never had a benefit.

Robin Givens, who said to Mike Tyson,
you keep the belt, I'll keep the wallet.

Never had a benefit.

Dr. Spock, who said, never raise your
hands to your kids. It leaves your groin

unprotected.

And last but not least, Gary Hart.

Gary Hart, who said, no, she was not on
my yacht. She was on my dinghy.

You've been a great audience.

I'd like to do for you right now an old
-fashioned sketch, something that we

used to do many, many years ago, but I
can't do this myself.

I've got to have some help.

So, look, I'd like to have somebody up
here.

Unfortunately, there's nobody important
in the audience.

Sorry, Steve. Sorry, Tony.

Can I have somebody up here to help me
to do this sketch tonight? I think you

might enjoy it. It's one of those, all
about me.

No, no, we need somebody who's alive to
come up here.

I'm only kidding, Mr. Peck. I'm only
kidding.

Red? Yes. I

can't

tell you how overwhelmed I am that you
came here for me tonight.

and how great it is to feel that you
care.

I want to apologize for calling you the
Antichrist.

I don't know what came over me, friends.

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, my goodness, the old hat.

Okay, we're going to do it again.

Mr. Peck, would you do a little joke
with me?

Well, if I must.

Well, you don't have to be so
enthusiastic about it.

All right. All right. What do I do?
Okay. I ask a question, and then you

give up.

What is it? And then I tell the
punchline, and everybody laughs.

Wait a minute. Is that all I say? I give
up? What is it?

Yeah, that's it.

Well, I don't give up that easily.

Oh, I don't give up that. You're the
gutsy tenacious.

Well, weren't Mr. Peck and Red Buttons
great?

Really?

And, you know, they've been back there
for hours just catching up on old times.

And, gee, the benefit went great. You
know, we raised enough money to keep Mr.

Peck's going, I think, well into the
90s. And you, the studio audience, I

to really thank you because...

You probably aren't aware of this
because it was a benefit tonight. We

charging $1 ,000 a seat.

And really, I want to thank most of you
for staying throughout the whole show

and forking up the money.

And I enjoyed fixing this feud. You
know, I have a certain warm feeling

I think Jerry Lewis was right when he
said what the world needs now is love,

sweet love. And I hope more of our shows
can be like... Father?

I'm sorry.

I interrupted you. I've got to go.

Oh, you're going piano bar hopping with
Steve Allen, aren't you? Right.

I am.

Well, if you're going to... You took the
words out of my mouth.

Oh, you had that look on your face.

Hey, do you think Tony Orlando would
mind if I asked Don to go with us? Give

a shot. You seem to be doing good with
Steve there. You got his autograph and

everything. I think I'm good.

Okay, I'll see you later. What is that a
problem for? I've got to take Red

Buttons home yet.

I wouldn't use it that, though. You
know, the show's over. Let him go home

himself. You know, it's a waste of
chloroform. It is a waste of chloroform,

isn't it?

Thanks, Father. Anyway, I gotta go. Have
a good time. Okay. Good to see you.

Good night. I don't want to interrupt
you. I don't want to waste this.

I'll just, uh... I'll tell you what.

You at home, you probably have trouble
sleeping after this show.

There's no reason you need to stay after
the show. After this is a rerun. So why

don't you just put your face up to the
TV and, uh, take a night.

A little whiff, really. And good night.
I'll see you next week. Okay?

Listen to the closing theme.

Hope you enjoyed it. Gary channeling
show.
