As it turns out, yesterday—not today—marked the birthday of Manhattan-born comic-actor
Don Adams, who is still best known for his role as Maxwell Smart, Agent 86, in the 1965-1970 NBC-TV situation comedy/spy series
Get Smart, and who
died in 2005 at age 82. In honor of this occasion, I am offering here a clip from a mid-1960s episode of
The Dean Martin Show, in which the host quizzes Adams—in character—about the apparently hilarious challenges involved in being a top American secret agent. Enjoy!

The Spy Command.)
