Pat Harrington Jr., the son of vaudevillian and early TV comedy player Pat Harrington, came to prominence in the mid-1950s as a TV advertising time seller for NBC. Jonathan Winters overheard the comedian doing foreign dialects and before he knew it, Harrington was a regular on "The Steve Allen Show" (NBC, 1959-61), playing Italian golf pro Guido
