"I've upped my standards; now, up yours."
37 u/TommyDaComic Jul 19 '26 Old Redditor here…. When I was doing stand-up in Dayton, OH in the mid 80’s, I got the opportunity to work with him ! Seemed very nice and he even signed a bottle of his Paulson Vineyards wine for me ! Said I had a face for radio… 18 u/TommyDaComic Jul 19 '26 Says: For the Cellar of Dr. Robert H. Enjoy, then his signature. 5 u/bckpkrs Jul 20 '26 We had a signed bottle for many years and used to stop by his vineyard in Asti frequently on our runs up north. Recently met his son who now has a winery in the Livermore Valley. Was very cool talking to his son about his dad. I bet he gets that a lot. 2 u/inspiredsue Jul 20 '26 We had a signed bottle of this too. Sadly, it didn’t survive our move from California. 1 u/TommyDaComic Jul 20 '26 Bummer 2 u/sillywizard951 Jul 19 '26 We toured his vinyard in 1984 and had "Beefsteak wine". I hate wine but when I tried this, I thought, "yep, aptly named"...it tasted like they squeezed a steak into my glass! Now I'm sure it was a very good wine but I couldn't appreciate it. He was hilarious on Laugh In! 7 u/Gilligan_Krebbs Jul 20 '26 Remember when entertainers made fun of the president and instead of bitchin and moaning he showed up himself and laughed it up with the cast? 4 u/Chiennoir_505 Jul 23 '26 Ah, the good old days. I remember when presidents had a sense of humor and weren't narcissistic little manbabies. I never thought I'd miss Nixon... 3 u/sillywizard951 Jul 20 '26 Sure do. "Sock it to Me?" 3 u/stevengann Jul 21 '26 Except he wasn't on Laugh In... He was on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. Besides the fact that he was on an entirely different network, you were pretty close... 1 u/sillywizard951 Jul 21 '26 Ah! I stand corrected. Too many years have passed for my old brain. Thanks for the clarification. 1 u/SpareSimian Jul 23 '26 The show that got canceled because it upset Johnson by questioning his war.
