As a kid in Chicago in the early '60s, I remember an early-morning kid show called Susan and The Professor. Susan was a local kid actress I had a kind of crush on , and Yonely was the Professor, doing musical humor while (almost) never saying a word. It took a lot to distract Puberty-years me from Susan, but Professor Yonely was funny.
Later on, Yonely turned up on many of the prime-time variety shows, and always scored big laughs. I'll never forget Dean Martin introducing him as "Mister YO-nelly". It was winter of "68 when I heard he'd been killed in that plane crash. I really miss his funny - nobody does that sort of stuff anymore. To his offspring who posted these clips: Your Dad did good.
Thank you for preserving a mostly long-forgotten comedy genius. He was one of a kind. Like Prof. Irwin Corey, and Brother Theodore, and Ernie Kovacs. professor len hummel
