I was just thinking of this like two days ago! So true.
There used to be so many good Jewish comics in the old days, before my time, but they played the Poconos and whatnot, learning their trade, NY Jewish accents, and they could really really make one laugh.
A dying breed and that is sad. Glad you put up this article.
I remember the Ed Sullivan show with great fondness. The family would watch it together on Sunday nites. Molly Picon was a regular and there was an Italian mouse called Topo Gigio. Another show I loved was Car 54, where are you, which I understand now was basically Jewish comedians doing New York style comedy, but when I watched it as a kid the ethnic component meant nothing to me, I just thought it was a funny show.
