Biography
S5E9 - Alan appears as a guest on The Gordon Ford Show on the night that Midge makes her debut. He shares a dressing room with her, and Gordon uses this to insult Midge by greeting Alan very cordially and then immediately greeting Midge much more coldly. Later, as Carol Burnett performs “Shy,” the stage manager arrives to summon Alan, and Midge steals his bag of nuts while he is away.
