I certainly wouldn't appreciate being labeled dead before my time. frown




And Jerry Lewis too

Yes, that's true...he was ahead of Pee Wee...still, one can nearly be certain that Pee Wee modeled himself after Pinky...there are many similarities.

I remember Egar behind the 8 ball to start his 15 minute skit at the movies in 1847. What about the three stooges. They were jewish from what I understand and they did a skit on Hitler. I'll never forget it. What about Lucy? Did I miss these guys? I was bent down low to the laptop trying to hear the song at the same time as watching at a noisy coffee shop.
