What was that like for you, to bring that back?ĪRLENE SILVER: No, it was “Chim Chim Cher-ee” Speaking of, you got to sing fan-favorite Mary Poppins song “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” at the end there. And it’s great to be on a third generation. You know what is fun now? We’re on our third generation and I would get little kids who will see me and say, “It’s Bert!” And I love that, that kids are just discovering those movies now. There was a strong reaction to your unmasking, with panelist Nicole Scherzinger literally sobbing.
I stepped out and everybody’s mouths dropped open. I don’t think they expected anybody from my generation to be on that show. But I knew that they couldn’t guess who I was. I wasn’t crazy about any of the other ones. VAN DYKE: Well, I felt pretty good about Tony Bennett. VAN DYKE: Wait a minute, those guys can’t sing… But then other people thought it was Dustin Hoffman. And I was happy to say that some people thought it was Tony Bennett. We did more of a kind of a Dixieland arrangement of it. I didn’t realize that Frank Sinatra had even done it. So I said I’d like to sing an old familiar song. VAN DYKE: Well, they wanted me to do more current songs, about which I know nothing. You sang Billie Holiday’s “When You’re Smiling.” Why that song - were there others you really wanted to do? It’s a good thing I’m not claustrophobic.
I had two little peepholes I can see the audience with. They made a great big like Pumpkinhead thing that I had to do. VAN DYKE: I would say it’s the weirdest thing I’ve ever done.
