Hopefully no Ted Healy.
I read about his death the other day. It sounds like he asked for that beating.
I just don’t know why MGM, post-Stooges, hung on to Healy for so long, using him as “comic relief” in so many productions. He was about as funny as a toothache. There were a number of less-than-funny, third-string comedians around at the time (Skeets Gallagher, anyone?), but none as remotely annoying as Healy.
