Rose Marie: They said you're to go over to Desilu and read for a new show called "The Dick Van Dyke Show". I said 'What's a Dick Van Dyke?'... I said 'Who have you got for the third writer?' They said 'We haven't picked him yet.' I said, 'What about Morey Amsterdam?'... I went home and called him up and said 'They're going to call you to be in a show called "The Dick Van Dyke Show"'. HE said 'What's a Dick Van Dyke?' I said 'I don't know, but we're gonna be in it.'
