About Away We Go

"Away We Go" was a summer replacement variety show for "The Jackie Gleason Show," aired on CBS in 1967. Hosted by comedians and musicians Buddy Greco, George Carlin, and Buddy Rich, the series featured a mix of comedy sketches, musical performances, and guest stars. Each episode showcased George Carlin's humorous monologues, alongside comedy routines and musical numbers often involving the hosts and their guests. Notable for introducing a young, pre-fame George Carlin to many viewers, the show was characterized by its light-hearted take on contemporary comedy and music, providing entertainment during the summer hiatus of Gleason's show.
