  20. Then I'll guess Paul Ford -- I gotta tell ya Paul, this who am I is a good one! I've been racking my brain for two days!

  21. We have a Winner, Gilby it is Paul Ford. I thought this one would be easy, Phil Silvers is a dead give away, , but I guess you have to be "Of A Certain Age" to remember that Paul Ford was on the Phil Silvers Sgt Bilko show as Col Hall.
