Bruce Baum. He was entertaining on tv gameshow series Make Me Laugh. He was probably one of the top five comedians that could make the contestants laugh. It's not online, but I recall one of the episodes in which Baum held his breath to make his face swell up. The woman contestant eventually caved to Baum's impression and laughed. Baum sort of looked like he was ready to collapse after doing that routine. I didn't know Frank Zappa was on that tv show. I have the Sheik Yearbouty album and might listen to it on occasion.

I remember seeing this game show, but forgot the game name. It's crazy seeing that Nick and son (George) could almost pass for twins even though a span of two decades gone by before George became a star himself, but the two voices would be noticeably different.

The Money Maze (with commercials) - hosted by Nick Clooney. Filmed March 1975 at ABC Studio in NY.

I didn't know Alan was the announcer for Money Maze. I was only familiar with Alan being announcer for Dave Letterman's CBS show. iirc Alan took over for previous announcer in mid 1994 or 1995 until Dave's show ended.
