Jack Carter, Brash Comic, Dies at 93

Jack Carter, whose brash, caustic comedy made him a star in early television and helped him sustain a career of more than a half-century in TV, nightclubs, movies and on stage, died of respiratory failure at his Beverly Hills, California, home, a family spokesman said.

Carter turned 93 just four days before he died Sunday, Jeff Sanderson said.

In 1948, when network television was beginning, Carter starred in a series of variety shows on ABC. In 1950, Pat Weaver, the visionary NBC programmer who fostered the "Today" and "Tonight" shows and other innovations, scheduled two hours of programming called "Saturday Night Revue."

Wow here we have had in the space of a week three actors die in their 90’s, Jack Carter, Patrick Macnee and Christopher Lee. Pretty amazing and I always liked Jack Carter.

Seriously. I didn’t know all 3 of these recent deaths were at 93. Is a bit odd.

File under, “I didn’t even know he was still alive.”

RIP
