Most posters, deservedly, comment about the genius of Buck Henry and Mel Brooks in creating "Get Smart". Because both men are famous, it's easy to not realize that Leonard Stern was not only head writer but the producer of "Get Smart" for all of it's run. He was a comedy legend in his own right, having written for "The Jackie Gleason Show", helping Jackie Gleason to develop "The Honeymooners", writing some of the most memorable episodes. He also developed and wrote for "The Steve Allen Show". He did the same work AND executive produced "MacMillan and Wife", "The Governor and J.J", and the cult classic, "He and She". It was Leonard Stern, along with Don Adams that maintained and added to the Borscht-Belt type satire that Mel Brooks and Buck Henry created for "Get Smart". It would be a disservice not to acknowledge the enormous influence of Leonard Stern had on the form, nature, and hilarity of "Get Smart".

[@sdrewe99]

Some fabulous notable actors here. Wonderful watching them in these cameos.

Loved Get Smart back in the day! Great compilation of Guest appearances. aldiboronti, you’re right…… they don’t “ make ‘em like that anymore” Batman had the “Guests” lining up to be on as well.

The Caan and appearances were in the same 1969 episode. I waited for Caan's billing back then, I had no idea how he was. He was billed "Rupert of Rathskeller as Himself". I learned about five years ago he had been reluctant to be on television as his movie career was just beginning.

They actually wanted Tom Poston as agent 86 but abc network didn't take up the sitcom nbc did and Don Adams was under contract with them so he got the role which in my opinion he fits better than Tom Poston.

It's interesting though, to try and tell which ones were actual celebrity cameos, and which ones were probably just working actors. Obviously, Bob Hope, Carson, Milton Berle, etc. were all cameos done for effect, but I'm pretty sure many others, like Jamie Farr, Fred Willard, Tom Bosley, even James Caan were more just working actors at that time. This show ended in 1970, before any of the big roles of them and many others that were shown.
