Buster's July 6, 1950 guest appearance on The Ed Wynn Show, demonstrating the art of pie-throwing with assistance from The Keystone Cops (Hank Mann, Chester Conklin, Tiny Ward and Heinie Conklin). This is taken from an edited clip, copied by Lord-Knows-Who, which eventually made its way to me on a flash drive; Snub Pollard's bit is missing although he can be partially glimpsed behind the bed's headboard.

Wonderful Ed, thanks for sharing it with us. I liked all of the reactions of the various Kops, everyone worked out a different one. The whole sketch felt like a predecessor to the early Monty Python bit about the Cambridge lecture on custard pies.

I may be gullible, but that couldn't possibly be William S. Paley could it?

I would really doubt it, but it does sort of look like him:
