Belated, but oh well… Of course, he’s mostly known for revolutionizing stand-up comedy (before him was vaudeville, burlesque, and silly mother-in-law jokes), writing for JFK’s Presidential campaign, or being an investigator for Jim Garrison in the only trial for JFK’s murder, implicating the US government, but he acted in a dozen movies, too.

If you met him, please share… Or if you’ve heard his stand-up, interviews, etc… This is probably the only place that will garner a reply, since most people aren’t aware of him unfortunately.
