Ernie Kovacs - Percy Dovetonsils - "Ode to Dieting"

[From "Kovacs Corner" on YouTube.com] - Here's Ernie as the lisping, half-soused poet laureate, Percy Dovetonsils. This also appears to have a clue segment to Ernie's self-described quiz show "Take a Good Look". Also included in this clip is a blackout segment featuring Jolene Brand, Bobby Lauher, and Joe Mikolas.

Kovacs was the thinking person's funnyman.

Indeed, he made you think,and never took the cheap laugh.

Kovacs was great. He never went for the obvious gag. He expected his audience to think its way to hilarity, which I, personally, find very flattering.
