In 1970, the late, legendary comedian Pat Paulsen starred in THE PAT PAULSEN HALF A COMEDY HOUR, his own series for ABC-TV, following his three years as a regular cast member on "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" - and his 1968 campaign to become president of the United States!
THE PAT PAULSEN HALF A COMEDY HOUR features the famous deadpan delivery of the show's star in a variety of 70s-flavored skits and settings, co-starring a stellar roster of guest stars such as Don Rickles, Angie Dickinson, Tom Smothers, Debbie Reynolds, Andy Williams, Don Adams, Henry Fonda, Mike Connors, Wilt Chamberlain, JoAnn Worley and even Daffy Duck!
