The Laziest Man In The World
Fred and Harry chat about a minor offense before "The World In Review" segment debates whether workers should have access to their employer's financial records. Fred then interviews Richard Hart, the head window cleaner at the Empire State Building, and the roundtable discusses whether children should be spanked or if modern discipline methods are better. The Mighty Allen Art Players conclude the episode with a hillbilly comedy called "The Laziest Man In The World," also known as "They Said The Hillbilly Had Insomnia Because He Woke Up Twice That Year."
