"I've upped my standards. Now up yours."

I remember Pat Paulsen, his famous motorcycle riding...

I remember his campaign comercials!

Awsome.

PAT PAUL_sen!

Outstanding.

/ Paulsen's son is my next-door neighbor
// cool story, bro

He's still alive. Wow he must be just as old as Abe Vigoda.

Oh wait he is dead. Never mind.

Yeah, we know Colbert ripped him off. that isn't news.

You want me to come where?

Come upon my lawn,qgmonkey: You want me to come where?

Come upon my lawn. I can't, I am a girl.

I knew Rolling Stone is written for imbeciles, but really: "But playing off a slowly building public awareness of the influence of cash in politics, Paulsen was seen raising funds at lemonade stands, kiss-for-a-quarter offers, and a celeb-studded dinner where Steve Allen, the David Letterman of his day, was a guest speaker.

Who, under the age of 15, doesn't know who Steve Allen is?

/Old enough to have written-in Pat Paulsen.
//Night Patrol is a criminally underrated movie.
///Amused by the misspelling of his name on the video clip.

people under 15 don't even know who David Letterman is.

I'm 26.

Who the fark is Steve Allen?

tenpoundsofcheese: Yeah, we know Colbert ripped him off. that isn't news.

I'd say Colbert carried on the tradition, but your butt hurty version is pretty funny.

/btw, your shtick on this site is quite the tradition

I have a vague recollection that somebody used Paulsen's candidacy and appearances on the Smothers Brothers show to demand "equal time" on the network, and got it. Some pundit made note that the law actually said, "equal opportunity" and said that they should have just handed the guy a script and told him to read his lines.

He invented the teletype the predecessor to the modern facsimile machine

Burn_The_Plows: //Night Patrol is a criminally underrated movie.

Ah yes....

"How much is coffee?"

"Coffee's 49 cents."

"How much are refills?"

"Refills are free."

"Okay, I'll have a refill....and a slice of garlic cake."

tenpoundsofcheese: Yeah, we know Colbert ripped him off. that isn't news.

I know, right? And what's with all these late night talk shows ripping off Carson by having interviews and musical guests?

If you don't know who Steve Allen is, I'm not even going to bring up Jack Paar.

Oh, wait.....

He look like a hackler.

Who is David Letterman? Is he like the old Jimmy Fallon?

bdMurray: Who is David Letterman? Is he like the old Jimmy Fallon?

More like a young Henny Youngman.

bdMurray: Who is David Letterman? Is he like the old Jimmy Fallon?

He's the young man's Jerry Lester.

Yeah no kidding. What's next, someone going to blow the lid off the political/social/satirical comedy stylings of the Firesign Theater?

What are the odds that ancient Greece or Rome had its share of political comedians? Is there anything new under the sun? We must know!

Sure, why not.

Well, there was that minstrel showman turned political satirist Millard Fillmore. Trouble is though, his humor was just too ahead of his time, no one got his jokes, and he ended up winning. Joke's on us!

Doing something first is less important than doing it well.

culebra: What are the odds that ancient Greece or Rome had its share of political comedians?

You're kidding, right? Start with Aristophanes and Juvenal, respectively, and explore from there.

/Also, Martial.

The hell you going on about, son?

If you watch Fallon, his sidekick is a dead ringer for Allen, which is kind of meta if you think about it.

Sorry - irony detector on the fritz. My first clue was when it didn't budge when pointed at The Fairie Queen. And no, I don't mean Marcus Bachmann.

We're all bozos on this bus.

"Vote for Paulsen; he's not insane!"

I was there.

RandomExcess: Doing something first is less important than doing it well.

I agree, and Colbert has work to do.

I believe Will Rogers threatened to run once, and no that's not the from M*A*S*H.

Speaking of Laugh In --



Yeah, she could have used a few sammitches, but we all thought she was cute.

Heh, I remember this guy well, but had completely forgotten of him.

/old

phaseolus: we all thought she was cute

...and we were right.

exvaxman: His TV show was not all that great - available through netflix.
However, I did love his running for office.

His show sucked.

Smothers Brothers on the other hand...

I'd consider voting for him in 2012

/yes, I know he's dead.
//will enough slashies resurrect him?
///let's find out!

phaseolus: Speaking of Laugh In --

Who was doing that?
