That was against my great pleasure to present

The giant in the entertain field

A man who never fails to give

These roasts a touch of class ladies

Gentlemen

My dear friend

Mr ruff wetters

Thank you

So as a pleasure to be back

And one of these

Celebrity

Roasts of yours were a gang of jolly

Fun loving people get together

To use charm with good humor

For one shining purpose

To destroy another human being

I see nothing much has changed

Since my last appearance on this day is

Milton girl is still looking around

And jotting down

Everybody's jokes

I see santa the gold water sitting there

Still trying to dream up a way to keep the cat

Panting on panel in american hands

This evening was a emigrant

Jimmy stewart was not only a fine actor

But who's very image as a man

Seems to be typical of all that america

Used to stand for

And i say used to

Because today's green heroes

Are far cry from that

Gentle non violent fellow

Jimmy has been portraying throughout his long

And triumphant career

Just to show you what i mean

Let's look at some of today's leading men

I saw charles branson in a movie recently

Where charles certainly a fine actor

Nearly playing what

The public wants him to play

Grab the beautiful girl

Pulled her out of her room

Belted her in the chops and threw her down

Three flights of stairs

And this was the love seat

Jimmy may have hand and hard

But he never hit

And both

Reynolds are the very best divine west dies

When he plays a copy

Jumps into his cruiser car

Drives a hundred miles an hour fire

Away with a sub machine

Gun smashing and crashing fifty cars

Buses and trucks on the way

Just so when he catches the guy

He can give him a citation

For blowing his horn

In the hospital zone

That's what's happening on the silver

Screen today

Right now we can see how much we needed that

Soft spoken shy

Kind hearten fellow the jimmy stewart place

No brutality for jimmy no sir

And as for mindless violence

Why even a jimmy's picture called the fbi

Story which sounds

Like a perfect

Excuse for gunfire car smashing

Well jimmy did it the decent

Way in one scene while he was chasing

John dylan drew that notorious criminal

Had a flat tire on his sit down

Instead of smashing into dylan's

Jimmy got out of his car

Looked at them and straighten the eye

And fix the flat

Genevieve is a metaphor

The movie industry

Is what sometimes called a jungle

But i think it's a forest

A forest made up of a million different

Plants and trees and trumps

And some of these plants

Have a brief day in the sun

They flower quickly

But they can't seem to sustain

So they weather away

Hollywood has seen a lot of these

For the career like yours jimmy

Is an evergreen

Train or shine that keeps growing because

That's a kind of beauty and purpose

That will never die

That's what we've always seen in you

Something that will be here when all the fads

And fences

Are long gone

As an image

Jim each stewart is

Indulge

As an actor

Well i saw him on the stage in new york

Long before he went to hollywood

Boy long for how he would got him

No that's not that's wrong

Holly would never got jimmy stewart

He was the conqueror

He wasn't his superb

And i use that word very carefully

I pause for a parentheses

I'm the only actor on this podium

Who is not attempted to imitate you jimmy

Because in my view

That's all we can do
