Understanding the humor in “The Nairobi Trio” is like understanding faith. You either understand it or you don’t.

An alumni from The Ernie Kovacs show was responsible for the guy on the tricycle who would just fall over on Laugh-In. Elvis Presley wanted to do that bit but his manager would not let him do it because it was not “dignified”. So, I believe that I would have enjoyed Elvis’ sense of humor.
