I think Matzoh's lovely female assistant is the same girl who interrupted Julius Dalius on the Aesop Broadcasting System evening news. Pamela Rodgers, if I have made the connection correctly. Very grateful to YouTube and posters for making so much wonderful stuff available. Thank you!
Looks like a retread of the gag Tex Avery used in his 1939 Warner Bros. cartoon, "Hamateur Night": "Swami River", the magician, chooses "Egghead" from the audience to step into his "magic basket", runs it through several times with his sword, motions for him to come out...and when he doesn't, Swami hands the basket to an usher, solemnly declaring, "Usher...give this gentleman his money back!".
I wish Ernie Kovacs is still around to do more TV specials even in color and maybe he'll host Saturday Night Live, just like Betty White did a few days ago.

@431516020205 Had he lived, I have no doubt that he would have been a frequent guest host on SNL.
