Howard Morris was not only a great comedian, but a fine actor and entertainer all around. In those days, you had show talent in several ways, not just play one character role in one genre and do nothing else (like some of the jerks today). We will never see replacements for Sid Caesar, Carl Reiner, Howard Morris, Jack Benny, Jackie Gleason, Danny Thomas, Red Skelton, or any of the early TV pioneers.

Your dad was a wonderful actor!!! I loved him as Ernest T. Bass on the Andy Griffith show.  Thank you for sharing this with the world!

@Diane3952 What would be your father's gut feeling on the quality of today's comedy?

Thank you.

@Juliaflo - I think he'd love a lot of it. He always respected other's work in general. He gave George Carlin and Jamie Farr their starts cuz he thought they were both great talents. Thx for the question!

[Juliaflo]

@azarsenalfreaks You're welcome. Lest you forget, Jamie Farr was ne Jameel Farrah, and that was his billing in 'Blackboard Jungle'.
