If you saw tonight's second episode (which I didn't), Guido Panzini was a character Pat Harrington used play back in the days of B&W TV. From Wikipedia:
Harrington became famous in the 1950s as a member of Steve Allen's TV comedy troupe, the "Men on the Street" (which also included Don Knotts, Tom Poston, and Louis Nye). Harrington also gained considerable recognition for his many appearances as the comedic Italian immigrant "Guido Panzini" on The Jack Paar Show in the mid-1950s.

I looked for some YouTube video, but the selection's not that great.

Oh Wow!! Really? That is why he played Guido so well!!:eek: I thought this ep. was entertaining and pretty cool actually. And I usually don't like the Francine eps all that much because it takes the focus off the family. But Schneider in the dual role , well he really showed Pat's acting ability!;) It really was pretty cool!!! ;)
