Jones also hosted "What's It All About, World?", a 1969 ABC variety show
from the Smothers Brothers showrunners who had lost their jobs when Tommy

and performer on the show, along with Avery Schreiber.  Some who've seen it
lately have called it conservative in tone:

I guess all 13 episodes (alleged to have changed its name to "The Dean
Jones Variety Hour" halfway through) are extant--this YT clip includes a
logo bug for the long-extinct GoodLifeTV cable channel:
