Hello,

I remember a that à nice joke was said in a Columbo episode but I can't remember which one nor the joke.

Can anyone help me please?

Columbo is just interrogating a suspect trying to get into his car. The suspect tells the inspector a joke (I remember it as an old Jewish joke but not sure) about someone working in confection.

Do anyone remember this episode please ?

That would be Season 9 Ep. 3, "Agenda For Murder"

Man flashes the jewish lady with his trenchcoat..
"You call that a lining?"

Ha! Hahahahhahaha!

It's a weird coincidence, but I was thinking of that joke less than two days ago!
(This is one of the few questions about an episode of the later series that I could've answered.)

That's from "Agenda For Murder". And the joke was a clue to Columbo that the victim was not suicidal, but in a jovial mood. For a corrupt psychopath at least.

Well done, Murcheson!! You beat me to the post by just a short while -- I just got done watching it, as I was pretty sure this was one of the few episodes with an actual "joke."

To back up and give the context, this was a joke that the victim, Frank Staplin, had just faxed to his wife in Hawaii right before his supposed suicide -- Columbo is confronting Finch about the incongruity of Staplin allegedly killing himself in the middle of faxing 2 jokes to his wife. Columbo tells him Staplin's "Jewish joke," instead of the "Irish one." And it's just as you said.

Finch doubles over, laughing immoderately to cover his quick exit.

Maybe funnier than the joke, to us today, is Columbo's earlier amazement at the huge "facsimile" machine in Staplin's office (in 1990). "Isn't that remarkable," he marvels. "A letter sent 2,500 miles across the Pacific in 14 seconds!"

I might recommend this episode to anyone who still thinks that all of the ABC movies were terrible.

The episode was called "Agenda for Murder", where Lt. Columbo tells the following joke to the suspect:

"There was this Jewish lady walking down Beverly Drive, and coming the other way, this flasher guy in his overcoat. When he gets up to her, he whips open the coat. She looks at him and says, 'You call that a lining?'"
