George McGovern Comedy Skit on Child in Charge
Archival work leads you to some strange places.
Child in Charge is a television show I’ve been unable to find any information on. From what I’ve gathered, it’s a sitcom about a baby who runs a local Vermont television network. In order to spice things up, a band of hippies recommend George McGovern to appear for an interview, which he does. No date of airing was available.

RIP Bob Newhart 😢
I campaigned for him before I could even vote . He was gonna legalize weed !
What an honor!
I love McGovern ❤️
Despite the polished speechifying and answers by Mr McGovern and Ed Muskie in particular, they were all doomed, facing a cut throat dirty tricks campaign from the Nixon administration, a group who would stop at nothing, sink lower than low to tarnish these Democrat opponents.
He would have made a good President
Terrific debate
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for inspiring me to make this channel! Really admire your archival work!
That's our McGovern!
Well said George!
Democrats had no chance in 84. And this was a long shot campaign. His political career went downhill in the 80s. Wasn't good before
Quixotic campaign went bust. Why did he bother?
what are the best 3 books on mcgovern?
I’d recommend: Thomas Knock’s Rise of a Prairie Statesman, which covers McGovern’s life up to the 1972 convention. A second volume is in the works covering his life from 1972 onwards. Hoping it drops soon! Vote Your Conscience by Richard Mariano follows McGovern’s 1984 presidential campaign and is a personal favorite of mine. Despite it not really going into the ‘72 campaign, I’d even recommend it to those who aren’t all that familiar with McGovern, just because I believe you get a better picture of who he was when he’s completely unfiltered and untethered to any national responsibilities. What It Means to Be A Democrat was McGovern’s last book, released back in 2011. It’s a full throated defense of the liberal policies he advocated for and defended all his life and a call to his party to return to those traditions. It’s not all that long and relatively easy to come by. Thanks for the question!
A good man.
I’m McGoverned up rn
I ❤ MCGOVERN COME HOME AMERICA
In the third ad, it looks like someone superimposed HHH's face onto McGovern. Am I the only one seeing this?
To be a Democrat means you live in a fantasy world and you hate everyone who doesnt think identically to you.
so true.
More please!
Great stuff!
Old Kinderhook!
Amazing!
He was a pilot in the units that Catch 22 was about.
