He's in charge of smoking.

As previously mentioned, 'Bob', this pilot was produced (at The Black Hawk in San Francisco) by Jay Ward as a potential syndicated series- had this been sold as a weekly show, he would have filmed various jazz groups at different night clubs and other performing venues [two per episode: this prototype featured Brubeck and, in the second half of the show, the Modern Jazz Quartet]...

Both Dave Brubeck and Mort Sahl were on the cover of TIME magazine, at separate times.

Mort Sahl was not only a standup comic of some renown, but a late night talk/jazz host on KGO in San Francisco, at the time this was filmed---was this produced at KGO-TV, and intended as a pilot for a show to air on the parent ABC network?

"Take Five" was recorded the same year this and "Rocky" was made.[1959].

[fromthesidelines]

This unaired (and unsold) 1958 pilot was produced by none other than Jay Ward, who, at the time, was also trying to sell a daily five minute cartoon strip, "ROCKY THE FLYING SQUIRREL". Even though this never saw the light of a TV screen, he sold the other idea to General Mills in 1959 as a half-hour series, "ROCKY AND HIS FRIENDS"...performing with Brubeck are the other members of his famous quartet: Paul Desmond, Joe Morello and Eugene Wright.

Fantastic! Apart from the brilliant DB, this is fascinating time travel. Love "the man in charge of smoking" - rare these days.
