On the Dean Martin Comedy hour show.

An amazing comedian that could make everyone laugh acting as a drunk, miss that now days.
I truly think Foster, in his role of a drunk, would have made a better president than one we have now.
Foster, RIP.

Pat could have been a breath of fresh air. Before Zelensky was the leader of Ukraine, he was a comedian.

(1,286 posts)6. I always thought that the funniest thing about Foster Brooks was
that he was a teetotaler. He just had the talent to play a convincing drunk on stage and screen.
And Brooks as Humphrey's campaign director WAS hilarious!
