Senator and former presidential candidate Hubert Humphrey appears as the "Man of the Week" on NBC's Dean Martin Celebrity Roast. The "Rat Pack" crooner turned comic introduces Humphrey as a "man who has spent a lifetime in politics with an unblemished record; he never took a bribe and never spied on his opponents; he never committed a crime; which is why he's here tonight and not in the White House."
