#1 was Eddie Cantor on a Thanksgiving Day broadcast.
#2 was Ed Wynn.
#3 was Ethel Barrymore. The play was a satire on the Barrymore family, and, while Ethel came out looking like a champ, her brothers were portrayed as something of buffoons. She didn’t actually sue Kaufman, but the lady was NOT happy.

Not the Prophet Elijah, dunno, and not Edward Rutledge in 1776.

  12. appeared in film, but not best known for it

Knowed Out, you can ask another DQ, as your “Musician?” is very similar to SCAdian’s.

Correct on Escher. I was thinking more of George Eastman, of Eastman Kodak fame, but close enough, given the question.

The TV producer was Ed. Weinberger, whose best-know TV production is probablyy the sitcom, Taxi."

DQ reserved for now–let me think a bit.

#1 is Dame Edna Everage (as portrayed by Barry Humphries).
#3 was Edison Carter

DQ: Known for the Creative Arts, rather than the performing arts?

Reserving a DQ.

Not Eddie Albert, Elia Kazan or Edwin Drood.

I love, love, loved Lee as Earl Hickey in My Name Is Earl (memorably retitled by one TV critic as Touched by a Redneck), and am still sorry the show was cancelled. I’m not Ethan Suplee (sp?), either. Don’t remember the name of the guy who played Crab Man.

Eddie Albert? I suppose it’s possible… (I was thinking of Eli Wallach in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.)
Correct on Kazan and Drood.

Crab Man was played by Eddie Steeples.

#13 confuses me. Do you mean the mystery guest is better known for the performing arts than the creative arts, or that he’s not known for the creative arts, and remains undefined in his performing arts prowess?

Reserving 2 DQs.

DQ: best known for work on TV?

Knowed Out, I used the phrasing provided to me in answering the question. It means his performing arts niche is not fully defined yet. But it’s kind of a “square peg in a round hole” question.
