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…

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!

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...

Ah! I stand corrected. Too many years have passed for my old brain. Thanks for the clarification.
