I used to think the same thing. Until I watched old Chaplin and Keaton movies from the 20s and 30s.<br /><br />A lot of these edgy nightclub comics from the early '50s were just aping what they'd seen the silent film comedians do.<br />buschmannnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2398796842887862508.post-32302076376129434752015-05-12T16:45:26.523-07:002015-05-12T16:45:26.523-07:00Another great interview, giving insight into so ma...Another great interview, giving insight into so many areas of that era. Just a terrific read! If you get the chance, though, I'd love to know what broke up each of his comedy teams. And after being in one, what prompted him to get into another?<br /><br />Many thanks for the entertainment, Kliph!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2398796842887862508.post-70734397036875554702015-05-10T23:13:18.928-07:002015-05-10T23:13:18.928-07:00I'll stand up for Wayne and Shuster; I always ...I'll stand up for Wayne and Shuster; I always liked their CBC specials of the 60s and 70s.
