Ernie Kovacs (January 23, 1919 – January 13, 1962)
This talented comedian was also a television pioneer. He helped to craft television’s earliest camera techniques…
Between 1957 and his death he appeared in ten films. His true medium was television however and he appeared on such programs as “Ernie in Kovacsland”, “The NBC Comedy Hour”, “I’ve Got a Secret”, “The Walter Winchell Show”, “Tonight!”, “The Polly Bergen Show”, “The Perry Como Show”, “What’s My Line?”, “The Dinah Shore Chevy Show”, “Toast of the Town”, “The Tennessee Ernie Ford Show”, “The Jack Benny Program”, “The Bob Hope Show”, “Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse”, “Playhouse 90”, “General Electric Theater”, “Schlitz Playhouse of Stars”, “Good Year Theatre” and “The United States Steel Hour.”
Tragically he left this Earth far too soon at the young age of 42…
