Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't remember the last time a sitting president....

70. Yet Humphrey was on SOME comedy show. Help me out here.

I remember a skit that included Hubert Humphrey (the real Humphrey, not some actor playing him), where he was walking around outside in a parka and suddenly explained that he had to go now because his favorite show "Daniel Boone" was on. Just for fun, I changed the channel and sure enough, the opening credits of "Daniel Boone" were just starting.

Of course, the whole routine was taped, not live, but they were clever in timing it right at the start time for "Daniel Boone." That would mean (by process of deduction) that it was an hourlong show on either ABC or CBS. ("Daniel Boone" was on NBC.)

Any ideas?

Might it have been "The Music Scene"? (Just looked it up and although I can find no evidence of Humphrey's appearance, the show ran an unusual 45 minutes, which might've explained why the skit could run through the opening of "Daniel Boone." Of course, "The Music Scene" aired in 1969, so Humphrey had already lost the election.)
