"Dating in the Dark"

Special
"Make 'em Laugh: The Funny Business of America"
Americans may like nice guys, but they also have affection for the Groucho Marxes who love to tell the truth no matter what the consequences.

Fields, Jack Benny, Paul Lynde and Joan Rivers. 9 p.m., PBS and KPTS, Channel 8.
