Joey Bishop, the quick-witted comedian and Rat Pack member, once delivered an iconic ad-lib during a performance at New York's Copacabana nightclub while opening for Frank Sinatra.
In 1954, Marilyn Monroe entered the venue mid-act, draped in a glamorous floor-length white ermine coat, instantly captivating the audience and creating a buzz. Bishop paused his routine, waited silently for her to take her seat, then leaned into the microphone and quipped, "Marilyn, I thought I told you to wait in the truck."
