"I miss being on the air," Jim "But I wouldn't go back to Gomer. It gives me a warm feeling when people remember him but doing it again would be a step back.

When I went into the variety show, lt was because I wanted to sing and that'i what I want to continue." along next Christmas." He was delighted when Bob said, "You're on." Actually, it was the first time Jim was free to go. He'd been tied to Gomer Pyle for five seasons, then two seasons of his musical variety hour which ended its run last June. THE DEPARTURE of the "Jim Nabor Hour" hurt for a while. "I took it personally," said Jim. "But then, I realized I was just a victim.

CBS decided to change their image and they were convinced that my show appealed to the wrong audience. They said it was in the demographics (the profile of who watches a show). In Nabor's case, his audience was shown to be made up of many older, rural watchers while CBS, and spon Passengers awaiting e-parture from, the London Airport congregate in the VIP lounge while their flight is delayed by heavy fog.

"Golly, you know, everything went so fast I'm still not really sure." Jim was one of the entertainers who traveled around the world with Bob Hope on Bob's" 21st Christmas' tour to entertain American servicemen-and women overseas. The Others on the tour were Sunday's Child, a trio of young singers; Brucene Smith, Miss half a dozen Hollywood starlets, Les Brown and his band and, at various stops, Singer Don Ho, actress Jill St.

John, country singer Charley Pride, Astronaut Alan B. Shepard. The reams of film made on the tour have been trimmed into a 90-minute special to be seen Monday at 9:30 p.m. on NBC-TV. (Channel 4 in Detroit.) 'OH, MY LORD, it was an exciting trip," declared Jim, who really talks like a Gomer Pyle script, though his normal voice is about half an octave lower than Cromer's treble.

"Your body never does quite catch up with you," said Jim. "And wouldn't you know I'd have my worst time at a Marine base. It was very embarrassing. "I'd been up all night with the 'problem' and throwing up and I couldn't eat. I went on stage, did three numbers, at least they told me I did, I wasn't quite conscious.

I walked off and next thing I knew I was on a stretcher with a bottle of glucose being fed into my veins.

We had close to 50 people on the piano and only two john. You make friends fast standing in line." Jim might have thought twke before he took off on that kind of trip again. Two summers ago, he headed for Australia for a vacation but on the way was hit by a viral disease in his lungs.

"I was by myself and, I swear, I thought I'd gone down under to die. It took me six weeks to recover," he said. But last summer when Bob Hope came to see, him during a Luke Tahoe club stand Jim told Bob, "Hey, I'd like to go 2l 1 "Counterfeit Killer," 't. Jack Lord, Shirley Knight. 1 39 Movie "Mr.
