Only Jew in the Rat Pack, was also the Frank Sinatra's black friend. He started in show business when he was 3, so he really can't be blamed for making anyone gay with his tap dancing and singing about candy, but once he gained his majority, there were no excuses for his depravity. Later in life, Mr. Junior tried to appease Americans by marrying a white woman, but nothing could make up for his glass eye. Sammy tried to gain support from Italians who visited Las Vegas by performing shows at the Tropicana Hotel alongside Frank Sinatra.

He appears with Sinatra and Dean Martin in "Jerome Is the New Black" singing racist songs that were perfectly acceptable through the 1950s-1960s. It is unknown which of his own songs he contributed to the album, but sang "Hey There, Fruity" with Martin and Sinatra. He was voiced by David Goodman.
  • Sammy Davis, Jr. was a legendary American singer-entertainer in both Reno and Las Vegas during the 1950s and 1960s. Sammy was so popular, in fact, he was included in the holosuite program Bashir 62, a 24th century rendition of 1962. At the time, he was close friends with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, Joey Bishop, and was incorporated as a "tight" friend of Vic Fontaine's. That year, Vic planned on flying up to Tahoe for a couple days to see Sammy perform at Cal-Neva. While there, Vic intended to introduce Nog to Sammy.
