Foster Brooks was a regular on Dean Martin and Johnny Carson shows. On Johnny Carson he played the drunk mayor of Burbank, California. I am so happy there are so many of his clips on youtube. I laugh every time I watch them. THAT was comedy. People can have this laugh track crap they put out today. Today’s stand-up commedians can’t hold a candle to the talent I (we?) grew up with. A variety show like Carol Burnett, Dean Martin stands the test of time. Today, the comedy is basic insults, off-color, and the kids are smarter than the parents (especially dads which BTW is intended to destroy families).
I always loved Red Skelton too.
Of course he was drunk...isn’t Baucus the Roman God of Wine?
