I don't know about the show, but I had the album! it was a screenwriter named Sheldon Allman, who had a record called, I think, "Folk Songs for the 21st Century," that had the song "Do you have change for a hern/I beg you do not spurn/It may sound very funny/I just have martian money..." etc.
It was an album of offkey (not offcolor) songs with a science fiction theme. It was a classic, just sorry I gave it away somewhere along the way.
My recollection is that is was a short-lived sketch series by Red Skelton. I think he raised the question one week and brought a detailed poster the following week showing a whole new monetary system based on the hern.
No, no, no - - it was Milton Berle, who used the phrase as a running gag.

- Instead of being totally dependent on teleprompter Red Skelton sometimes ad-libbed unscripted jokes. The one about the Martian landing his flying saucer by a parking meter is a classic. Martian landed flying saucer by a parking meter and asked passer-by "Got change for a hern?" Red then explained to audience that a hern was Martian currency! 😃

What is w Brett baier's first name?
His first name is William, but he has not used that name during his TV career. Most likely, he was asked to select a name that sounded distinctive, and Bret Baier has a pleasant sound. It is very common in broadcasting to have to change your name. Baier has not explained who first asked him to do so.
