Saw some kinescopes of the Ernie Kovaks show. Really funny stuff.

Ernie Kovacs! What... a sweetie!

What... a band leader!

And that Edie chick he married... she was a real bocat in bed!

I'm with you too. (But then, I have a 'different' sense of humor. ;~))

Kovacs was a genius. He had a new media and rather than treating it as just a Vaudeville stage performance they way all his contemporaries did, he used the technology to make his bits far funnier than they ever could have been on the stage. And it was all done live. It was kind of a Loony Tunes with real actors.

I was just a kid then, but I loved it. My parents hated it.

The fat lady in the tutu doing that weird Kovak shuffle at the end of the 1812 Overture!
