That was George Gobel—lonesome George.

I really miss these guys. All of them are gone.

George Gobel - he was a flight instructor on B-26’s during WWII then became a comedian by the name of “Lonesome George”

The great "Lonesome George". George Gobel.

He was a "dead pan" comedian in the 50's and 60's. He used to refer to his wife as "spooky old Alice". Super dry sense of humor. One of the great stand ups of that era.

The comedic talent on that stage that night was immense.
