Special Guest Larry Storch
Storch would eventually become a recognizable face in a long career on television, film and stage, best remembered as the scheming Corporal Agarn on F Troop (1965-67).  Here, though, he's a promising young comedian, virtually unknown to a national audience, plucked from his nightclub circuit to host a summer variety series in the Saturday night slot vacated by the vacationing Jackie Gleason.  He and his self-titled show got decent reviews in its ten-week run, but the exposure did little to advance his career.  It would be another decade or so before he began making a name for himself in showy guest roles, mostly on sitcoms.
