He confided to this columnist: "And you're the only one I saw that I know! It's a new generation!" Vince Edwards was reported to be marrying beautiful, blonde Californian Sherry Nelson — so I asked him about it. For once, the nonsmiling Dr. Ben Casey grinned, just a little, and said, "I've been going steady with a gal" — Sherry — "and if I get married to anybody, it'll be her." But he indicated they were in no hurry. "She knew me well when I was busted," he said. Scarcely-known fact about Vince: He once waited tables in a sorority house at Ohio State University, while a freshman and sophomore there. Marty Ingels, who'll co-star on ABC's new show, "I'm Dickens, He's Fenster" (it's about a couple of comic carpenters), got his first big break on a Steve Allen show, winning a guest shot without so much as an audition. Actually, Marty was ready to go before the cameras to give his routine for the brass, but then he got started talking about the National Guard and the nation's military setup and was so funny before the audition that he was hired straight out. "War," Marty pointed out, "is a question of timing. See, everyone meets at night in their uniforms, ready to do battle. But," he lifted a finger, "if we get attacked in the morning or afternoon, we're finished, because all the troops are at the office, dressed in civvies." Marty also cited a complicated battle plan, whereby each general calls so many colonels, each colonel calls so many majors, and so on down the line, till every private is alerted. He envisioned this telephone conversation : "Hello, is Colonel Schwartz there? Oh, he's sleeping? No, don't bother to wake him. Will you give him a message, please? Tell him to be sure to call all the majors because we're at war. No, that's W . . . A . . . R . . ." The return of "Talent Scouts'' this summer reminds us of the story Irving Mansfield, the show's producer, tells of the time he went back to his old neighborhood, flush with the success of his first TV credit. He came upon an acquaintance, who asked: "What are you doing these days?" "I'm in TV," said Irving proudly. "Wholesale or retail?" came the squelch. Sam Jaffe, who got into a hassle with the "Ben Casey" people about having his part expanded, told me the dispute had been settled amicably, and it was agreed that Dr. Zorba would have a more prominent part next season. But Sam prefaced his remarks with an amusing wordplay: "It's my only beef — and remember, I'm a vegetarian!" No one had a greater appreciation of Ernie Kovacs' comic gifts than Sandy Stewart, the pretty singer on "The Perry Como Show." Sandy broke into TV as a regular on Ernie's old morning show, and she'll talk for hours on all the nutty things Ernie did. "He had some sense of humor," said Sandy in awe. "You had to be on your toes every minute of the show because you'd never know what he was going to do next. Some mornings, he'd come in and say, T don't feel like writing the show today. Let's ad-lib it. Sandy, cameraman, you just follow me.' ' Barbara Eden, now a big movie star, also got her start working for a star who wasn't one back then: Johnny Carson. Barbara figures he'll be as big a hit as Jack Paar ever was — as soon as the audience can identify with him. "Johnny's creatively funny — like Jack Benny," said Barbara, who worked with Johnny on the Coast. "Benny can stand up there and do almost anything and be funny, because the audience has come to know Jack as a particular personality. It'll be the same with Johnny when they know him." Sid Caesar's up to his old great tricks of tearing up the script and playing the sketch by ear. Sid, you know, will be back once a month next season with "As Caesar Sees It." One of "Caesar's Players," Andy Duncan, was talking about Sid's great improvisational talents in a
