...Funny Thing's" funniest things happened when Paar kept himself offscreen. Elliott Reid did an inventive impression of an entire convention, including chairman, delegates, Walter Cronkite, David Brinkley and the BBC.

It didn't win, but the announcer read it on the air because "it sounded profound...
