SYNOPSIS

Most of the telecasts that were aired under the title ABC Comedy Hour featured a guest host plus a regular repertory company of impressionists called The Kopycats, listed above. Fred Travalena replaced Charlie Callas in the company in mid-series.

The series also included a number of other comedy specials, among them two Friars' Roasts, an Alan King special, and an updated version of Hellzapoppin'.

Reruns of the Kopycats episodes were aired during the summer of 1972 under the title ABC Comedy Hour Presents The Kopycats.
