That’s a name I haven’t heard in a very long time. Rest in peace Shecky, and thanks for the laughs.

It’s amazing how many of the great Jewish Comedians lived so long.

And I'm extremely happy that I had the opportunity to experience it, even if it means I'm old and decrepit.

A horse that ran the Kentucky Derby with Secretariat was named Shecky Greene.

Why does the article have to say “adopted” daughters?? If they were adopted, they were his daughters, period. :(

I think it was impressionist John Byner who created a fictional Jewish comedian named “Jackie Shecky.”
To: Conan the Librarian
Had a great role in “History of the World Part I”.That is the role that I remember best about him.

That’s okay. He was a TV comic fixture in the 60’s and funny. No profanity, just good stand up refuned in the Catskills funny.

I remember Johnny Carson telling a Shecky Greene story once. Went like this:
There was the time, during his heavy drinking period, when he plowed his car into the fountain in front of Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, and while security guards surrounded him under towering plumes of water, he rolled down his window and said, “Hold the spray wax, please.”

Does anyone remember his joke about how Frank Sinatra saved his life?
