Stephen Root's performance in Office Space seems to have been taken from this character.

"Genius" is too insignificant a word to describe Ernie Kovacs, athough stating the obvious at least keeps him in our memory.
-
Kovacs' motto "Nothing in moderation".
-
Read a great tribute to him in the May issue of Playboy. Will have to find more.
-
Ernie was the best. Such a great brain. very funny. Thank you for the video.
-
@hemming57 Actually, one of his daughters, Betty Lee, is still alive.
-
Lovin it.
-
The only other person I can remember from old TV to do anything much inventive visually was George Burns, who would turn on his TV and watch Gracie do her plotline schtick, and would comment to the viewing audience on what was going on. Not nearly as creative as Ernie, but nobody was like Ernie.
-
Sad that both his daughters died young too.

The perverse version of Steve Allen. Watch the feature film "Sail A Crooked Ship". The movie is uneven, but when it's funny, it's insanely funny!

I used to watchhim when I was a kid. Then, in the 70's they ran some of his shows on PBS. Many people had forgotten, but not me. I lived by watching TV! I had vague memories of him and knew that he died.
He was in Mad magazine too. I doubt that very many people remember him. Lots of people on TV were inspired by him. I was one of them. Today you can't kid like that on TV or radio. All the New York 50s 60s kid shows were much like Ernie's stuff.
