"How do you know it's the World's Smallest Horse?" "Well, look at it!"

A classic piece of television, spoofing television itself. Dick hosts Vermont Today thinking he's going to be the next Mike Wallace or Dick Cavett, and learns the truth, as valid today as it was 40 years ago, about local American TV. The "World's Smallest Horse" is a Bob Newhart classic, up there with the Driving Instructor and the Grace L Ferguson Airline. I'm sure the third horse is a cameo by Mr. Ed isn't it?
