Baskerville's voice in the Steve Martin episode

Hi. I'm usually good with voices, but after recently seeing the Steve Martin episode for the first time, I was stumped by who was doing Baskerville's voice. I thought possibly Jerry, but it didn't quite sound like it, nor like any of the other primary performers, as I could tell. I looked to Kermitage, expecting an answer, but there was none. All I could guess on my own is that it was John Lovelady, perhaps, or some other less frequent performer whose voice I've not yet become attuned to. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I believe it is Jerry performing Baskerville in the Steve Martin episode.

It's Jerry. It's obviously not John, because he left after season 1. In the 1st season, he was played by John in the Sherlock Holmes skit (Joel Grey) and Jerry performed him in 2 other songs "Another Case Of Dog Eat Dog" (Jim Nabors) and May You (Avery Schrieber). Dave Goelz performs him in the final number of the Roger Moore show, too.
