Jackie Mason was performing at The Curran Theater in San Francisco during that time and invited Diana Dawn to his show. They brainstormed together on a few occasions about his show and Diana suggested some fun material to use in his act that would add a local feel and flavor to it. Diana Dawn was thrilled when Jackie Mason actually used her line in his show and saw that the audience enjoyed the joke just as much and had a good laugh.
