Orson Welles hosted this 1972 series, which starred Jonathon Winters, who passed away today, doing his trademark improvs. Thanks to Eve for sending me a few of these episodes, and they're amusing in spots, although Winters' comedic style is not to everyone's taste. Unfortunately, Welles' role as host added little to the show.
I'm pretty certain this collection of clips did not originate between 1972 - 1974 when the show was produced. The clips themselves appear to be from that vintage judging from Winters' appearance, but I suspect Welles' introductions were taped close to ten years later judging from his appearance.
