January 1975: Tom and Dick make the mistake of having Joe Hamilton [Carol Burnett's husband, and producer of her highly successful CBS variety show] produce their "comeback". There were fights over how "bland" the show was, with Hamilton departing after the ninth show, and Tommy was once again in complete control. Alas, it was too late: terrible ratings killed the show after its thirteenth episode. Bill Wendell is the annnouncer.
@fromthesidelines I have a very brief audio snippet of one of the 1975 shows(I think there were only 3). It has Tom and Dick singing Hoyt Axton's "Have a Nice Day."
