Vaughn Meader as JFK

[UncleMikeNJ]

Once, we had Vaughn Meader, David Frye and Rich Little. Now, what have we got? Darrell Hammond, Will Ferrell and Fred Armisen. They're not worthy of a Presidential Impersonatory Auditorium, let alone a Presidential Library.

That can't be good for your aching back, can it, President Kennedy? "Well, it, ah, depends upon the weather. Political, and otherwise."

Thanks for letting us see Meader be funny as himself. He was a supurb talent. And yeah, I laughed! (I was just a baby when this clip was made...)

I knew Abbott Vaughn Meader, he lived in the town I grew up in. Most of us called him Ab, and he was as funny a man as there ever was. Thank you for posting this. I've been passing it around on Face Book, and the locals who remember him have had a great time re-living Abbott memories and re-telling Abbott jokes. For as all-American as he was during the JFK era, the Abbott I knew could have traded lines with Carlin or Pryor. He really was a comic genius who is missed and reminisced everyday.

We forget that JFK--like most U.S. Presidents--was always a target for comics of the era. It is refreshing to see something humorous associated withe JFK, instead of tragedy.

These jokes are 60 years old and they are still funny.

Perhaps the first nationally known presidential impersonator. Gotta give him credit.
