Shearer's offbeat way to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Nixon resignation is to analyze tapes of the soon-to-be ex-President from shortly before his resignation speech.  The second half, where Shearer's old colleagues Lander and McKean (yes, Squiggy and Lenny), appear on an infomercial, with Shearer as "Rich" Nixon, is better.

Whether you want to take this as Lavenny shipping fodder or simply as a demonstration of Michael McKean's pre-Spinal-Tap singing chops, this minute and a half is a little gem, with Lenny serenading "Laverne who?", as L & S react.  Director Carl Gottlieb had written a Bob Newhart Show episode and guest-starred on another, but this is the only TV direction of his I own.  (He did direct Caveman.)
