He interacts with an audience member (Johnny Carson) in a gag about pitted glass in his glasses. The two main skits involve him as a group of foreign news reporters, "Lord Beaverhead", a Brit who keeps "sweetening" his tea with shots of booze, and produces props like a misshapen world globe and a big fish that sings "Some Enchanted Evening." The others are a french, Danish and Indian counterpart, named "John Cameron Sabu" who reads dispatches from a snake in a basket. The other shows him as Cauliflower McPugg, the punchy boxer, trying his hand at refereeing a middleweight match, but getting caught up in the action. Written by WesternOne1 See less
