There's something. I've heard of cases of local stations pairing Mr. Hill back-to-back not only with the Carson repeats, but also . . .
- The Jackie Gleason Show (half-hour repackagings of the 1962-66 American Scene Magazine)
- Carol Burnett and Friends (half-hour repackagings of 1972-77 sketches from The Carol Burnett Show)
- Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In (half-hour truncations of 1968-72 episodes; completely bypassing the final 1972-73 season on which Rowan and Martin replaced George Schlatter and Ed Friendly as executive producers)

To most or all of which Mr. Hill had been compared, in one way or another. (Unfortunately, Red Skelton's old shows were kept out of the public eye, due mainly to Mr. Skelton's bitterness towards CBS for cancelling him in 1970; but Benny has also been compared to Red.)
