The ABC Comedy Hour(1972)

The ABC Comedy Hour is an American television variety series that aired on ABC in 1972. Seven of its thirteen episodes featured rotating guest hosts—including Steve Lawrence, Orson Welles, Ed Sullivan, Raymond Burr, Robert Young, Debbie Reynolds, and Tony Curtis—alongside a team of comedy impressionists called The Kopycats. The remaining six episodes were variety specials that included two Friars Club roasts and a musical revival of Hellzapoppin' starring Jack Cassidy. Originally broadcast Wednesday nights at 8:30 PM, the show's Kopycats episodes were repackaged as summer reruns under the title The ABC Comedy Hour Presents the Kopycats, and aired in Great Britain simply as The Kopycats.
