PAT Paulsen and the Pat Paulsen Players will not perform their cover version of The Beatles Hey Jude. You may recall the star of Pat Paulsen’s Half a Comedy Hour, whose satire was lightning up the airwaves.
In 1968, The Mothers Brothers put Paulsen forward to be president of the USA as a member of the Straight Talking American Government Party (S.T.A.G. Party). Said Paulsen, who would run seven times, of his bid for the presidency: “Why not? I can’t dance.”
He died in 1997.
