That guest spot showed everyone how funny he could be, and had a big bearing on choosing Col. Blake's replacement.
BTW:
Frank Burns was a FAR better character than Winchester. Larry Linville was unbelievably good as playing Burns. It's hard to be a convincing weasel. Linvelle was an amazing guy, and died way too young.
Honeycutt and Trapper, about equal. Both good character actors.
Radar better than Klinger. Both funny guys, Radar did drama better.
Blake better than Potter, but just barely.

I liked Potter better than Blake.
Never found the Blake character to be at all credible.
