He often participated in audience critique segments on daytime talk and variety shows. He appeared on "The Mike Douglas Show" on numerous occasions, and on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson", as a guest on the first broadcast after Carson moved the show from New York to Burbank. The May 2, 1972 edition also featured Rob Reiner, George Carlin and Johnny Mathis. He appeared on a total of four additional "Tonight Shows" between August 1970 and January 1973 and is included in the series "Best Of The Tonight Show" DVD sets. In 1992 he sued Carson for $11 million after the late night host joked that he had included Mother Teresa on one of his worst-dressed lists. The suit was quickly dismissed.
