Never funnier
This is an episode I haven't seen since my childhood, but I remember it vividly as one of the funniest things I'd ever seen. I learned later that it was an enlargement on a minor radio gag, much embellished with the advantages of television. He takes somebody to the basement of his house, which is super-bugler-proofed. I think there were alligators in a moat, creaking doors; and of course a guard who never saw the light of day, asking Jack if Coolidge was still president! But the thing I remember best is, after an enormous guillotine blade came down just behind them, Jack turned to his guest and said, "I've got to get that fixed. You know, it should have killed me!"
