I've Got a Secret with guest host Henry Morgan (1961)

I always wondered if Bill Cullen felt burned that they chose the trouble making Henry Morgan to fill in for Garry Moore when he was away. Personally, I couldn't be more pleased. I adore Henry Morgan - as I'm sure you'll figure out if you read this.

William F. Buckley 1925-2008: The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour with guest David Frye (1969)

It's a very short clip, but it's of a very popular impressionist who you rarely find footage of on the internet. However, you often find his many LPs in thrift stores.

Dick Gregory: State of the Black Union (2008)

In the stand-up comedy world, a comedian works hard to make their carefully scripted material seem spontaneous. Make no mistake about it, Dick Gregory sat down and wrote all of this material - and then rewrote it - until it was perfectly crafted. It may seem off-the-cuff, but the legendary Dick Gregory is doing much of his stand-up act in this appearance at The State of the Black Union that happened the other day. And he destroyed.

The Oscar Streaker

I, like everyone else, watch the Oscars every year. I, like everyone else, watch it because I hope to see some spontaneous streaking. I'm sure everyone here is familiar with the Oscar streaking incident pictured here. But do you know much about him? Did you know he was a Gay activist? An enemy of Anita Bryant? Did you know he was brutally murdered in a San Francisco sex shop just a few years later? Read everything you need to know about the Oscar streaker here.

The People's Court Theme Music (1981)

The Mike Douglas Show with guest Maynard Ferguson (1977)

I always thought the pitch master's version of Star Trek was both ridiculous and hilarious. Disco Trek. But, like his Rocky theme, it was a hit.

DuMont Television Network: Friday Night Fights (1954)

The Three Stooges get the Death Penalty (1941)

This 1941 short, titled In the Sweet Pie and Pie, has The Three Stooges on death row. Wrongly accused The Stooges are almost murdered by the state! Sadly, it's something all too common in the world of this barbaric practice. Now with that in mind - enjoy the laughs!

The Hoot Gibson Show (1951)

Rango (1967)

Well, after posting the oddball Tim Conway - Ernie Anderson comedy records a couple weeks ago, I thought it might be fun to take a look at this obscurity. Between his success on McHale's Navy and The Carol Burnett Show, Tim Conway starred in this western sitcom that lasted only half of the 66-67 season on ABC. Guy Marks who had just finished a stint on The Joey Bishop Show (the sitcom, not the talk show) was co-star. Complete with commercials. A lot of familiar names in the production credits of this one.
