To judge from this guy's other posts (Where did the first ever boxing match take place? and "What was Mike Tyson's first major fight") I think the idea is to play game show host.

Or, to put it in the form of a question, "WHY play game show host?" (Especially if there's no prizes, like a year's supply of Rice-a-Roni, or a fur from ****er & ****er, or a pair of Vanna White's well-worn tights).

I think he means the RUMBA IN THE JUNGLE.
Carmen Miranda was the referee.
I'm not sure who won, Abbott or Costello.

Could be BUNGLE IN THE JUNGLE:

Or it could be the children's book RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE:

Unless it was Rumpole of the Bailey.
Or...oh, I knew it all along.
GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE, but I don't recognize the opponent. This is a picture of the fight being delayed because Norman Mailer lost his pen.
