If you like "Laugh-In" (or any of the many other sketch comedy or comedy/variety shows of the 1970's) and are tired of hearing the President's (Nixon's) daughters refer to him as a human being, you'll enjoy this album.
"And so the book they said could never be written was made into the movie they said could never be filmed, and we take you now to the theater they said could never be built, to the long line of people who could never get into the theater that was built to show the movie that was made from the book that was written, and all this on the record they said should never be played, and all because of me, so what do you think of that?" ~the Devil (Gary Owens)

Christopher Weeks - LBJ In the Catskills 1966

After Allan Sherman's song parody album MY SON, THE FOLK SINGER became a surprise best seller, a number of less successful Jewish humor LPs followed. Released by Warner Brothers in 1966, LBJ IN THE CATSKILLS was one of the poorest of these.
Christopher Weeks (Jack De Leon) as LBJ
Fannie Flagg as Lady Bird
Keren Liswood as Lynda
Plus Robert Weil, Diane Pane, Mal Lawrence and Patsy Shaw 

SIDE ONE NOTES
1.) A klezmer band "Hail to the Chief" introduces this LP's premise: our President from down-home Texas meets Yiddish-accented Borscht Belt denizen. "Check In" raises some logistical tsuris. 2.) Robert McNamara's call to Lyndon gets routed by mistake to "Lindman," a typically koshah room guest. 3.) LBJ's dinner party of 109 are broken up and sent to "themed" tables. The Prez and Lady Bird sit with three couples and one mother-in-law. Lyndon reads the menu then gives Max the waiter his order. 4.) Features music from Dick Hyman's dance band. LBJ is taught to cha-cha-cha. 5.) The interpreter translates Lyndon's comment. 6.) LBJ's "with hot milk" order is misunderstood as "wit'out milk." 7.) The Ladies room has a Latin band. 8.) A popular Jewish noodle recipe Lady Bird is given ain't for kugel. 9.) Humphrey invites his boss to stay away another week.
SIDE TWO NOTES
1.) Members of the Jewish-American press set up jokes for Lyndon. 2.) A smooth resort Romeo tries to charm Lynda Bird while they dance. 3.) Comic Bobby K., tonight's featured act, is delayed in traffic. 4.) The old toll call trick. 5.) LBJ wins a "dance with a broom" talent contest. 6.) A special guest runway model. 7.) Myron's wife would rather chat on the phone with her husband than with Lyndon. 8.) Hotel manager arranges a ride for "Mrs. Schechter from da Bronx." 9.) The Johnsons leave with more than luggage-- they've acquired Yiddish accents and a penchant for singing "Hava Nagila." ~Amazon customer review

Best remembered as the vulnerable, flinty-faced "Marty," gay kleptomaniac in a series of appearances on the sitcom "Barney Miller," Jack DeLeon's career stretched back decades, and included comedy albums done under the name Christopher Weeks.
Born in 1924, he started making films in the early 60's and as Christopher Weeks had a few political comedy albums out: "My Son the President" (on John F. Kennedy) and "LBJ in the Catskills." These were attempts to cash in on the interest in light political humor spawned by "The First Family." Weeks was able to imitate Kennedy and Johnson but not able to make a hit of either album. Just to confuse matters, he also mde "De Leon Roars" under the Jack DeLeon name (stand-up rather than impressions) and in 1972 as DeLeon was in the cast of "The Firsta Family" (imagining The Godfather as president)
His vocal talents were used extensively via cartoons, and he was busy with Saturday morning fare such as Emergency +4 (1973), Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo (1979), Spider-Man (1981) and The Kwicky Koala Show (1981).
His film work ran the gamut from "Carhops" and "Linda Lovelace for President" (both 1975) to "The Choirboys" (1977). In the 80's he evidently reverted back to his Christopher Weeks name, appearing in "Valet Girls" (1987), "Violent Zone" (1989), Temptress (1994) and his last movie, "Allyson is Watching" (1997)
His varied on-screen TV credits include "Switch," "Sanford and Son" and "Starsky and Hutch." He guested on "Get Smart" and was a friend of Don Adams. Jack was a member of "Yarmy's Army"(a reference to Don's real name), a group of actors who would get together each month for social activity and charity work. He is survived by his son Ricky and brother George, as well as several grandchildren.  ~Who's Who In Comedy (Online)

A new star flashes into orbit in the comedy field. Comedian, actor, writer, mimic, cartoonist and wit, Jack DeLeon produces a show with a cast of hundreds, and plays every part himself... When you spin this one you'll find it hard to believe that there is only one man cavorting around in such a varied set of misadventures.  ~Source: Billboard 11/21/1960
