Had to look up Irwin Corey.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irwin_Corey

Interested to know more. Thanks for posting. Sounds like he had an interesting life:

Corey was born on July 29, 1914 in Brooklyn, New York.[2] Poverty-stricken after his father deserted the family, his mother was forced to place him and his five siblings in the Hebrew Orphan Asylum of New York,[3] where Corey remained until his early teens. He then rode in boxcars out to California, and enrolled himself at Belmont High School in Los Angeles.[2] During the Great Depression he worked for the Civilian Conservation Corps and, while working his way back East, became a featherweight Golden Gloves boxing champion.

Re: Professor Irwin Corey

He was a terrific comedian, and I remember seeing him as a guest on Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show a number of times.
