Lily Gets a Dog

Description

Montague's wife has a puppy that isn't feeling well, but the Magnificent one gets confused and thinks that Montague's wife is the one who is sick! The show stars Monty Woolley, Anne Seymour, Pert Kelton, John Gibson, Art Carney, John Griggs, Frank Milano, and Jack Ward on the organ. Tony Marvin shows up to talk about Chesterfield cigarettes, and Don Pardo is the announcer. The episode was created, directed, and written by Nat Hiken, with Billy Friedburg helping out as a writer.

Nathaniel "Magnificent" Montague, is an American R&B disc jockey notable not only for the soul music records he helped promote on KGFJ Los Angeles and WWRL New York City, but also his trademark catch-phrase, "Burn, baby! Burn!" that became the rallying cry of the 1965 Watts riots. Following criticism that this phrase had inadvertently stirred up rioters, Montague advocated non-violence and urged young listeners to pursue their education, coining the new phrase "Learn, baby! Learn!"
