Nobody can handle foster brooks when he's just trying to help

Foster Brooks was always trying to help — and somehow, that made everything worse. In this classic comedy collection, Foster Brooks becomes a preacher’s problem-solver, Carroll O’Connor’s public relations man, George Washington’s press secretary, a CBS newsman, Truman Capote’s prison warden, and finally an 82-year-old storyteller with some unforgettable advice about Saturday confession. From Dean Martin’s Celebrity Roasts to rare Louisville television footage, these Foster Brooks moments show exactly why nobody could handle him once he started explaining himself. Every character means well. Every job sounds respectable. And almost every sentence ends somewhere nobody expected. Watch Foster Brooks turn compliments into disasters, history into nonsense, weather forecasts into punchlines, and helpful advice into some of the funniest classic television ever recorded. Which Foster Brooks do you prefer — the character with an official job, or Foster simply standing at a microphone telling a story?
