I'm posting this episode primarily because of the legendary impressionist and nightclub comedian George Kirby, one of the very neglected figures of 20th century showbiz history. I'll be uploading a very good LP by the man on Dooto Records in a couple months.

Kirby's career slowed for some reason in the mid-70s. Unfortunately, he was sidelining by selling narcotics and after a heroin bust, it was all over. He didn't serve all that much time but I never saw him perform again. He DID host and narrate a TV special on the history and controversy of AMOS 'N' ANDY.I believe that was post prison.
