Ernie Kovacs - "Kovacs on the Corner" WPTZ-Philadelphia March 1952

[From "Kovacs Corner" on YouTube.com] - Pulling this rare gem from the vault of the Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia, here are home movies of Ernie on the set of his WPTZ show "Kovacs of the Corner" from March 1952. Take the opportunity to view their website, http://www.broadcastpioneers.com/kovacsinphilly.html , for more stories and memories surrounding Ernie's early broadcast career in Philly. By the way, the actor in the policeman's uniform is Pete Boyle, the father of the late actor Peter Boyle. It is also sad to realize that from this point in time Ernie only has ten more years to share with us, but those ten years were extremely appreciated by family, friends, and fans alike!
