Page "You Can't Do That on Television" Paragraph 32

Most episodes included one or more firing squad sketches, where Les would play the part of a Latin American military officer with a sword in hand preparing to order a firing squad to execute one of the children actors, who were standing in front of a post.

The kids would usually find a way to trick the Executionist into walking in front of the post and saying the word " fire ", thus getting shot by the firing squad himself, which was a trademark, and happened almost every time.
