That reminds me if an Outer Limits episode where the devil lays down a similar challenge to a professor.
(I won't spoil it for you by revealing the outcome).
The Barney Miller actor played the suave devil.

(It might have been The Twilight Zone)

I absolutely love the twilight zone, so I just checked you were close it was ray Bradbury’s theatre

He later took over the twilight zone after rod Serling died.
 
In my late 20's I think I found out that the Chuckle Brothers a) had two other brothers that were b) a double act in entertainment and c) also mainly comedy.... well my mind was blown for at least the rest of that year o_O

This article is as good an explanation as any. There was none of today's stupid booing it was all massively well aimed sarcastic sniping and was that hard edged humour characteristic of Teesside. As Harry Pearson stated in 'The Far Corner' the typical Teesside humour can be taken as an invitation to laugh or alternatively go outside for a fight.

It was a bunch of moaning old farts walking. I had a season ticket in there for a couple of seasons during my mid teens, late 80s. The amount of times even in my youth I told them to shut the feck up and feck off if you don't like it was countless but some did have a sense of humour and the insults some came out with were comedy genius at times.

My daughter appeared with one of the chuckle brothers, brothers. During pantomime season at the billingham forum. Can't remember his name but he was billed as one of the chuckle brothers brothers. How far down the Bell curve of fame do you have to be, to be billed like that? 😂
