PAT PAULSEN's HALF a COMEDY HOUR --with Debbie Reynolds torrent

The premiere show, which also featured an unlikely appearance
by former Vic-President Hubert Humphrey....whom former (and future) failed Presidential candidate Pat Paulsen runs into in the opening scene!

This series had Bob Einstein as head writer, and Bob played Officer Judy
again just as he had on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. He also played
a few very strange characters created just for this series.
Steve Martin was also one of the writers on both series, but he didn't appear
on camera on Pat's show. Watching this show, it's clear that everyone knew all along that "Pat Paulsen's Half a Comedy Hour" wouldn't make it past 13 episodes, and they were right.
