King Tut

Episode Title: I’ll be a Mummy’s Uncle
Original Airdate: February 29, 1968

Without question, my favorite of all the crooks created for this series is King Tut, as portrayed by Victor Buono. We’re just a few episodes away from the end of the series, though, which brings us to the final appearance of the Yale professor who thinks he’s Egyptian royalty.
