I recall one show in which Burt Reynolds came out as the first
guest of the evening, complained that he had had a rough
day on the set, then stretched out on the couch and went to
sleep.  The show went on with him sleeping on the couch.  Other
guests came in and sort of sat on the edge of the couch,
trying not to wake Burt.  Mull, of course, remained unpreturbed
through the whole thing.  

The announcer on the show was a real kick (his name is on
the tip of my tounge--Willard something???).  He was forever
bringing in guests like the local baton twirling champion or
some other nubile sweet young thing.  He was also forever
trying to take over the show.  The band leader (another
well known band leader in reality) was partners in a chicken
to go resturant down the street and was always bringing in
boxes of chicken for the band to eat during the show.

Mull still uses the chair and lamp setup in his comedy
routines to this day.  I thought the show was a gas.
