Is your name “Froderick?”
“That’s Eye-gor!”
I fondly recall his TV show - IIRC, it ran briefly as a summer replacement.
“Marty Feldman pops out to make the cocoa” remains a classic.
I remember that show, too. It was a summer replacement show in 1966 or 1967, but I no longer recall what it replaced. I don’t think it was Feldman’s own show, but he was definitely the best and funniest part of it. I was just thinking about the skit “Stuntman’s Holiday” recently, about 50 years after I first saw it.

I like how people recognize him on the street, so cool. They said he smoked 5 packs of cigarettes a day which wow you can see here. Mel Brooks said Feldman only ate dairy products as well, not good for the heart. Only 48 when he died, I don’t know if his Graves disease had anything to do with that, but wow, 5 packs a day is pretty crazy.
