Marilyn was a guest in the show of Edgar Bergen and his wooden dummy Charlie McCarthy, in 1952. They had a sort of sketch, in which the wooden dummy would ask Marilyn to marry him. Marilyn wanted to marry him, but the fans protested! Even Winston Chruchill said: 'Never has anyone so little taken so much from so many'. Ofcourse, this all was a joke.

This was Marilyn's first TV appareance, in 1953, the Jack Benny show, a huge succes. Marilyn and Benny did an sketch, we're Benny wanted to marry Marilyn, but she refused because he was too old. The sketch ended with an kiss between Benny and Marilyn, the kiss did nothing to Marilyn, and it turned Benny into a 'wreck'. And Marilyn sung live 'Bye Bye Baby'. They met again 1962, when he pronounced Marilyn at Madison Sqaure Garden, for President Kennedy's birthdaygala, Marilyn sung 'Happy Birthday Mr. President', and 'Thanks for the Memory'.
