In This 7V Roulette Game

Sooner or later it Is going to
be necessary to report how NBC-
TVS Comedy Hour" is faring
this season without any Of its old
comics. It is somewhat difficult,
however, for q confirmed player
of channel selector roulette.
There are. as you know. two
distinct types Of viewers. Those
in the passive set accept what
ever the electron gun fires in
their faces, either because they
are stupefled into inaction or be-
cause they pessimistically (and
probably correctly assume that
any change is only from the
frying pan to the fire. The others
play channel selector roulette.
This is like neither Monte
Carlo nor Russian roulette,
though it does sometime feel like
the latter. In channel selector
roulette the player is allowed to
reject at will any number he
doesn't like, giving the wheel a
spin in the hope of improving
his lot.
The urge to spin was SUBJ
limated as long as possible Sum
day night. "The Comedy Hour"
presented Johnny Ray, the man
who made crying famous, then
followed up with Joe E. Lewis to
further belle the title. Mr.. Lewis
says something funny now and
then but he is not nearly so
comic as the New York cabaret
set, which laughs at him duti-
fully, has been led to believe.
"The Comedy Hour" promptly
lived up to its name, even if
unintentionally, by following Mr..
Lewis with a large. gaudy, pre-
posterous production number
dedicated to Stephen Foster and
allegedly perpetrated as part of
the nightly entertainment at a
New York night club called the
Latin Quarter.
It wasn't even necessary for
the commercial slide to flash on
to drive the channel selector
roulette player to his play. Drew
a winner, too. The spin stopped
