Marx had suggested to Bill Cosby that he could do the show, when Cosby was still a struggling young comic. In 1992, years after Marx's death, Cosby took him up on it and taped a season of the program for the syndication market. The results were so unsatisfactory that most of the stations who initially bought it soon either stopped showing it entirely or moved it to a time slot in the middle of the night, and it was cancelled after one season.
