[ laughter ] >> jimmy: i got to get into some of the stories. i love the elvis story, i love. and colonel tom parker, you know, he patrolled elvis and stuff like that. you didn't have any connection to elvis. >> none. >> jimmy: you just had a dream, and you go i want to work with elvis? >> right. i had a dream one night, and i got up in the middle of the night and wrote down on a piece of paper, jerry weintraub presents elvis. and i woke up my wife i said, look at this.

she said, go to sleep, would you. you don't know elvis. what are you gonna do with elvis? i said, i'm going to know him, and i'm going to be his promoter and producer of all his shows. she said, that's -- go to sleep. i got up the next morning and called colonel parker. i called him 365 days, every morning i called him, i said, hello, this is jerry weintraub. yes. i want to take elvis on the road. no. and we went like that, 365 days. after that, one day he called me. he said, jerry, you still want to take elvis on the road. i said, absolutely with all my heart. he said, great, meet me in las vegas tomorrow with a million dollars. a million dollars. >> jimmy: a million dollars. how the heck are you gonna do that? >> now i know what a million dollars is now but in those days a million dollars was the rockefellers or something. but i said i would get it and i said i would be there. and i went to the bank in

las vegas, which had a gold crown on it and a purple facade. you know, vegas. >> jimmy: sure, absolutely. >> and i said to the lady, i got a million coming, and i was wearing crocodile boots, cowboy belt. i had long hair down to here. >> jimmy: how old were you then? >> i was 24, 25. >> jimmy: 24 with a million dollars. >> and i got the million. and the guy from -- that came out from behind the door, and he said to me, excuse me. are you jerry weintraub? i said, yes, and i have a million dollars coming. and he said, yes, you do. and it's here. what are you going to do with it? i said, i'm going to take elvis on the road. i said who are you? he said, i'm the president of the bank. i said, well, give me my million. he said, you're gonna take elvis on the road? i said, yeah, why don't i leave here and be the accountant on the tour. >> jimmy: so you took him with you? >> no, i didn't take him. [ laughter ]

>> jimmy: another story i love, cause now you started working with elvis, right. you book him in miami, sold out thing, because elvis was just big, that's right at the time. >> right. >> jimmy: so now you want to take him out around america. so you take him to miami sold out thing, its so many tickets. you go, let's add an afternoon show. >> 10,000 seats. >> jimmy: 10,000 seats. >> sold out. >> jimmy: and one rule, he's like, there can't be empty seats? >> two rules. no empty seats, and don't put big shots in the front rows. put my fans in the front rows because i have to work to them. i need the girls there, you know. and i said, i got it, i got it, i got it. and i said, you got it. i put the show on sale, it sold out immediately. i went back to elvis and i said, how about a matinee? he said, sure, great, no problem. i'll do a breakfast show, if i get paid. i said, do a matinee. so i put the matinee on sale, three days later they said, you're sold out. now it was july 4th weekend in miami beach.

i don't know if you've ever been to miami beach, florida on july 4th weekend. but the alligators leave town. they don't want -- its too hot. >> jimmy: nobody -- it's too hot. too hot, yeah, yeah, yeah. >> it's too hot. so i went down there, got there, and walked in the box office and there was all of these tickets in the rack behind the guy and i said to the guy, what are those tickets? he said, they are there for the matinee. i said, the matinee you told me was sold out. he said, i only told you what you wanted to hear. i said, oh, my gosh. so i went back into the arena and found colonel parker, that was his manager. i said, colonel, we have a problem. he said, we have a problem? what's our problem? i said, i have 5,000 seats left for the matinee. he said, son, we don't have a problem. you have a problem. so i got to figure this out. or my career is over. this is it. they are going to make this

work. i walked outside and right next door to the miami beach convention center, and its still there, it was a dade county jail -- no i did not invite the prisoners to the show. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's what i thought, right. that's what i thought, too. that's what i thought. >> and i went into the jail and i got a hold of the sheriff. and i said, sheriff, i've got a problem. he said, what's your problem, son? i said, i need to take 5,000 seats out of the miami beach convention center and i need to put them back for the nighttime show. and he said to me, okay. you got any money? i said, yeah. i starts rolling off the money. >> jimmy: so you removed -- >> i removed 5,000 seats. >> jimmy: so it was a sold out show. >> and we put them in the parking lot and we put a blue tarp over them. elvis came to the show, walked -- got out of the car he said, how are we doing? i said, we're doing great.

all of the seats are full. i didn't say it was sold out. >> jimmy: okay. all the seats are full. >> then we did the nighttime show and i put the seats back for the nighttime show. he came back and did the nighttime show. after the show we went out and had something to eat. he said, you know, jerry, that was great. i really had a great time. but i think we should stick to the nighttime shows. the audience is much louder. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you've been honored. you've been honored. you have your own star on the walk of fame. but now this is the equivalent in new york city, you have your own sandwich at the carnegie deli. >> how about that? >> jimmy: corned beef, brisket. it is called "jerry weintraub, "his way sandwich, when he stops eating, you'll know he's dead." look at this guy, it's fantastic. you are amazing. >> by the way, no mayonnaise on it. >> jimmy: oh, that's for me. hey, thanks buddy, i appreciate it. i'm gonna go for it right now.
