What happens

Mack and Myer for Hire is an American sitcom that aired in first-run syndication in 1963 and 1964, and remained popular for years in reruns. The show starred Broadway comic Mickey Deems and burlesque comedian Joey Faye, and was produced by Trans-Lux Television in New York. Each episode, designed for a five-days-a-week, 15-minute time slot, was approximately 12 minutes long, and the show was filmed using a two-camera setup. Two-hundred-and-two episodes were produced during its one year in production, and these were re-run well into the 1970s. The series was produced by Sandy Howard and directed by Ted Devlet.
