    Back in '73, as a 1st year student writing for my university's student newspaper, I was fortunate to interview Pat Paulsen during his presidential 'campaign' where one of his slogans was "We Cannot Stand Pat!"). When I asked him about the Queen, our country's constitutional head of state, he replied, " I'm sure she's a nice lady who goes to the bathroom like the rest of us.' I am not sure the article I wrote did him justice, but I am sure this kindly, self-effacing humourist, with his dry, ironic wit would be much appreciated in these perilous times.

    Back in the 70s I was tending bar at the San Francisco Airport and Pat would come through every once in a while, and I served him several times over a few years. He always had a joke or a gag to share, always upbeat, polite, and everyone enjoyed his company. One time, probably '76 or '77, he came in with a big Nixon/Agnew campaign button on his lapel (by this time Carter was President). I chuckled at the button and he said "I've been working the pipeline up in Alaska the last few years and there hasn't been much news, how are my boys doing?" (Pointing to the button)
    And he always tipped.

    It's a shame that not many viewers of this will understand it, nor know who the Smothers Brothers were, nor know that only 3 national television channels existed. NBC, CBS, and ABC. But, we walked on the Moon, and that was spectacular!

      @ Paulsen later did another comedy album, on which he stated that it was just as well that he lost the election, because the inaugural ball fell on his bowling night.

    I sure miss shows like the Smothers Brothers and Laugh-In! Great personalities, tongue-in-cheek silliness and other family-friendly fun. No perverted, off-clolour jokes, depraved sexual inuendo or bad language and their only agenda was a fun-filled program, nothing more!

    Even though I was young when Laugh-In was originally on, I can remember my parents watching and I would sit with them. As I got older, and they started to show reruns and in syndication, I found myself binge watching and still remembering many of the actors and skits.

    I always loved the Smothers Brothers Show and especially Pat Paulsen was on.
    My wife and I were vacationing in Upper Michigan back in the 60's and we watched a parade in Traverse City in which Pat was the Grand Marshall. We heard that at that time he was co-owner of a theater co. in that area so, because of that, we were able to see him.

    I actually wrote to the Smothers Brothers show to request a copy of one of Pat's editorials, and received it. Wish I still had it. Does anyone else remember that at the end of an editorial the show said to write the show for a printed copy?
