Comedian and actor Tim Meadows and singer Keely Smith on this archive edition of Fresh Air. Meadows was a regular on TV's Saturday Night Live for some nine years. Leon the Ladies Man, a swingin' politically incorrect radio love doctor that he played on the show, is featured in the film The Ladies Man, now available on video. Keely Smith has been called "The Queen of Swing" and "The First Lady of Las Vegas." Smith is perhaps best known as the duet partner and wife of Louis Prima. Smith and Prima drew crowds to the lounges of Las Vegas in the 1950s. Their hits include Jump, Jive, an' Wail, Just a Gigolo, I've Got You Under My Skin, and That Old Black Magic. Smith talks about her marriage to Prima, the music they made together, and her career. Smith's newest CD is Keely Sings Sinatra. (Original Broadcast Dates: April 4, 2000 and October 23, 2000)
