he was great. i remember him on WABC morning radio. he did skits such as "dan'l vigilant" and "igor the robot"...screamingly funny! one TV program i remember that i wish i could see again was a take-off on superman. i can still see him at his desk and edie (lois lane) scolding him all the while kovacs (clark kent) making a "split-second" change at his desk, which took all of 10 minutes, with ernie constantly tripping over his cape. maybe the skit will end up on You Tube some time soon.

Ernie Kovacs was a creative genius. Do you realize how revolutionary this type of humor was in 1950s' live TV? He did it on a shoestring budget, with all energy and creativity. Too bad he died without fulfilling his potential. Much of today's great comedy had its roots in Kovacs.

You reveal your ignorance. Nothing worse than a moron with a strong opinion!

have you seen more from the show? The trio was boring compared to the other stuff he did. Why do you find three guys in gorilla masks funny? It's redundant. (oh ho ho. I love it when he hits him on the head with the mallet. Oh my sides.) I think he was a genius. It's like when rock bands are only known for their hits. Like "pinball wizard" or "stairway to heaven". Both groups did much more interesting stuff. I'm not sure why you are calling me a moron. Unless of course you are being IRONIC!!!

Ernie died on the night of January 12, 1962. His last special [taped in December 1961] aired 11 nights later, as a memorial to him. In this sketch, he's parodying newscaster John Cameron Swayze and his standard opening, "And a good evening to you!".
