  • Bergen was a genius. Nuff said.

  • $100 is $1,948,587 in today's money. Talking about New Zealand dollars of course.

  • I've heard of Edgar Bergen hosting DYTYW (before Johnny Carson took it over). I didn't know it was filmed (Johnny's version was live). EB's version seems a little like Groucho's "You Bet Your Life."

  • It's certainly a thrill to see Effie with Edgar. When looking up bergen before all I'd get is Mortimer and Charlie. Nothing wrong with them; it's just nice to see her on mr. Bergen's lap.

  • You can see Bergen's lips move while Effie's talking which is an obvious mistake for a professional ventroliquist of his stature. Watch closely at 3:46.

  • @bucky468 That was one of the things he used in his act as well. Charlie would comment on that.

  • @bucky468 He did that all throughout his career. But his manipulation of the dummy was like no other, so hardly anyone paid attention to his mouth.

  • Good to see Edgar & charlie&Effie again. There are alot of people who have never heard of Effie Klinker. Edgar Bergan inspired me to become a ventriloquist. That was 30 some years ago. Thanks for the post.
