Wonderful comedian, the greatest. Perfect timing and delivery and that stone face demeanor. He was a class act. Where are the good comedians who are creative? Who don't just use the same old crutch of sex and bathroom humor. Miss you Jackie. Thanks for posting this.

@MyyyClips Absolutely agree with you. I had the honor of appearing with Jackie, in Metairie La, in the early '70's. Yes chip, he opened for Judy Garland, at the "Palace," in NYC, several times. I absolutely miss Jackie. What a marveolous human being that he was; RIP, Jackie!!!

He was also the voice of Frosty in the Christmas tv cartoon " Frosty The Snowman".

One of these slideshow routines included a hitchhiker segment: "Here I am, hitchhiking." "Here's the hitchhiker, picking me up with my own car. Luckily, she didn't recognize me."

I always loved his "slide show" monologue about his trip to the Everglades with Guido the guide ... A true comedy classic!☺
Classic. I can see bits of Jerry Seinfeld in his delivery. Of course that means there's a little Jackie in Jerry, but hey, if you're born that way... I think my train of thought just derailed.

@ChipArgyle then again maybe not:) Jackie use to open for Judy Garland and appeared a number of time on the Ed Sullivan Show in the early 60's.... So there might be some of him in Seinfeld but I don't think any of Jerry was in Jackie:)
