I recall seeing some version of the Dean Martin Show on TV.
Unlike most TV comics, Dean was always well dressed every week. I think he usually wore a Tux unless acting out a skit.
I’ve heard that Dean would almost never come to the rehearsals early in the week. He would simply show up when it was time to shoot the episode and improvise most of his dialog. By that time(late 60’s), he had been a top Hollywood name for over 30 years, so he knew how a program was usually put together. It was kind of a Playboy inspired version of He-Haw, now that I think about it. Fun show.
“”I read a wonderful book by Dean Martin’s late son Ricci””
What was the name of the book? Is that the son who was killed in the plane crash in the San Bernardino mountains?
“comic relief right now and who better than Dean Martin”
Bob Hope but Deans voice is king.

Everybody needs some comedy, sometime....
