In the 60's, Jerry Lewis was on the Tonight Show and did a variation
on the Announcer's Test.  It went:  1 hen, 2 ducks, 3 cantakerous
porpoises, 4 ipswitch clams, 5 weeping widows on a weary raft, 6 pet
penguins perched on a post in a pond in Paramount Park PA, 7
sheet-slitters daughters slit sheets while the sheet-slitters........
Don't know the rest.   Can you help?   Barbara r

Hello barbarar1-ga: 

What appears to be the definitive account of just what Lewis said
during that Tonight Show appearance comes from the man himself. See
this transcript of Lewis's September 1, 2000 interview on CNN's Larry
King Live:

"CALLER: Hi. Jerry, when I was 7 years old, I heard you do your thing
about one hand, two ducks.

LEWIS: Yes.

CALLER: For some reason or other, I only heard that once or twice and
I still remember it to this day. Where did you first hear that? And
could you do it for us tonight?

LEWIS: Well, I first heard it at NBC when I was substituting for
Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon decided he was going to teach me the
announcer's test. The announcer's test is given to anyone in radio or
television who wants to be specifically announcer. And it involves
retention, memory, repetition, enunciation. It involves diction. And
it involves 10 factors that use every alphabet letter in the alphabet
a variety of times.
You want me to do it for you?

KING: Yes, go.

LEWIS: OK.
