***Rip Taylor*** Absolutely frantic and overly hyper . . . hilarious

And queerer than a three-dollar bill.

Never paid any attention to it, nor did he. Great comic . . . had to take a sedative after his bits were done

Like Paul Lynde, it was so obvious you really didn’t care.

The Professor was very funny. Saw him many times on the Steve Allen show. Didn’t agree with his politics, but the man was funny.

Who was the guy who talk, and you couldn’t understand what he was saying, but you’d swear he was saying something?

Do you mean Norm Crosby?

Norm was funny. He had a knack for saying words that sounded like words. No this guy was older, and would speak jibberish.

Wasn’t he the guy playing the astronaut? He’d say, “My name Jose Jimenez.”

I know the guy you’re talking about but can’t remember his name either. He was a riot.

Not the guy, but related video:

He’s been a regular in Howie Carr’s death pool for several years.

Corey came to my college to perform in the very early 1970’s for a Halloween Show. He was fantastic, it was held in hall on campus & the place was packed. His comic send up of swell headed academia was something to behold. (-:

Even as a kid, I could NOT stand to watch Rip Taylor.
