I remembered liking this one a long time ago. We panned into the office of an old-style private investigator (to appropriately noirish music), who gave a good long speech on the letter P and the words that began with it. The punchline was that at the end he received a phone call that prompted him (it's been too long to remember exactly what was said) to abruptly switch his allegiance to S, accompanied by a frantic rearranging of his office accordingly. Does anyone else remember this one?

Yes... I remember this one too. It was John Masheeta Jr., known as the fastest talker in the world. He was a public relations agent for Peter Piper P Products Co., he had a lot of paintings of past P-named clients in his office and kept talking about all the P products. But then, towards the end of the segment, he gets a phone call informing him that the company got bought out by a S Saleman company, and he then starts switching everything in the office. The portraits of Peter Pan and Peter Piper are turned over, revealing S's in the picture frame. He says the peanuts can stay, cause they'd be consiered as "snacks" instead. Funny little twist that made this sketch stand out in my memory banks.
