The Funny Side is an American sketch comedy program that aired on NBC as part of its 1971 fall lineup.
The Funny Side was hosted by Gene Kelly and starred five pairs of actors and actresses who were presented as married couples (although only one was married in real life). Each week was an examination of the "funny side" of a potential issue in real-life marriages, such as health, money, sex and the like. Each couple was a stereotype. Kelly also appeared as an actor in the sketches, and there was also a musical aspect with production numbers.
Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor
1998
James Coburn
as
Glen Whitehouse
Affliction
James Harrison Coburn III (August 31, 1928 – November 18, 2002) was an American actor. He was featured in more than 70 films, largely in action roles, and made 100 television appearances during his 45-year career, ultimately winning an Academy Award in 1997 for his supporting role as Glen Whitehouse in Affliction.
A capable, rough-hewn leading man, his toothy grin and lanky body made him a perfect tough guy in numerous leading and supporting roles in westerns and action films, such as The Magnificent Seven, Hell Is for Heroes, The Great Escape, Charade, Our Man Flint, In Like Flint, Duck, You Sucker!, and Cross of Iron.
During the late 1960s and early 1970s Coburn cultivated an image synonymous with "cool", and along with such contemporaries as Lee Marvin, Steve McQueen, and Charles Bronson became one of the prominent "tough-guy" actors of his day.

Randolph Scott
(1898—1987)
That Cary Grant sure had great taste! The sexy movie star's rumored longtime companion was this tall, solid number, who made a name for himself in westerns while his more famous "roomie" churned out Hollywood classics. He had one of those great faces that withstood age nicely, though he retired from films some 20 years before his death.
