as we see it Week of Nov. 27-Dec. 3 LOCAL PROGRAM GUIDE Once a television comedian has achieved recognition, a show of his own and a fat salary, he faces a con¬ stant struggle to stay on top. More and more the entire show becomes his personal responsibility, and he is con¬ cerned not only with his own comedy routines, but with the dancers, the guest stars, the music and the tech¬ nicalities of production. To boost his ego and satisfy his Own mind that his decisions are correct, each comic has a court made up some¬ times of helpful assistants, sometimes of mere hangers-on.

I$$4 »087 So, next time you feel that Sid Caesar’s hour-long show needed edit¬ ing badly, that Bob Hope wasn’t really funny at all, that Jackie Glea¬ son was fine but why does he have to have raucous-voiced girls introduc¬ ing his show, remember what those- poor fellows are up against. Theirs are the most exacting, most nerve- wracking jobs in show business. And you must forgive them if they listen to their yes-men most of the time, instead of to the television critics. Waller H.
