He and Frank "Don't Go Back To Shreveport" Sutton made Gomer Pyle almost bearable

He also did a sitcom from the Dick Van Dyke Show team called Good Morning World, about morning show radio DJs. It's best remembered for the actress who played his gf:



There is a surviving film clip of them being interviewed together at the time (1967, pre-Laugh In) and he predicts she is going to be a big star

RS did a very entertaing ep of the Gilbert Gottfried podcast
