So, I was reading “America’s first network TV censor: the work of NBC’s Stockton Helffrich” and it said, in reference to Martin and Lewis hosting CCH, “Helffrich cut entire sequences, proscribing any overt sexual impropriety or underlying gay motif.”

They were edited to be less gay, and this is the result. So what did their act look like before the censors got to it?

There was nobody cooler…
