[From "Kovacs Corner" on YouTube.com] - Although it is posted all over YT, no tribute site would be complete without Kovacs' signature comedy sketch. Of course, it's The Nairobi Trio's syncopated rendition of Robert Maxwell's "Solfeggio". As if you didn't already know, the costumed gorilla with the cigar in his mouth is Ernie. The pianist's curly blond locks suggest that it is his wife Edie Adams. The timpanist has never been identified but, in this particular performance, his apparent small stature suggests it is Kovacs' sidekick the late Bobby Lauher. At other times, the role was reported to have been played by Ernie's best friend Jack Lemmon, Milton Berle, and the Chairman of the Board himself, Frank Sinatra.

Kovacs was a pioneer of TV comedy in the 1950's, edging closer, I think, to performance art than what people typically think of as comedy. Even with Percy Dovetonsils the comedy is odd, low key, and character generated, even though there is a poetic punch line toward the end.

[From "Kovacs Corner" on YouTube.com] - This was one the last video productions completed by Ernie before his death in 1962. "Eugene" was a character from his Sylvania Award winning 30 minute NBC special "The Silent Show". By drawing together gags from his previous live shows, like the "Tilted Table", and combining them with new production techniques, like video superimpositions, Ernie left a final artistic work which could be reasonably classified alongside Charlie Chaplin, Marcel Marceau, and Buster Keaton. Way before chroma key, green screen, and CGI, Ernie tested the artistic elements of the new medium and it's primitive, by today's standards, video special effects. His early career in radio also made him open to the complimentary effects of sound and music, and not just the visual side of the medium. He no doubt gave many of today's on and off screen television and internet based talent the inspiration for their current work. The fact that Kovacs could take whatever shoestring budget he had, and make the best out of it, proves that imagination and talent have no limitations. ...BTW, Ernie recorded this sketch with an open microphone on the set. You can hear the control room crew laughing during many of the routines, especially "The Tilted Table". [Updated July 20, 2010] - The background song that is played during the "The Tilted Table" sketch is entitled "There's a Little Spark of Love Still Burning". It was recorded in 1915 by tenor Henry Burr for RCA Victor and it <b>...</b>

[From "Kovacs Corner" on YouTube.com] - This clip show an early incarnation of magician Matzoh Hepplewhite. Also featured is Ernie's female sidekick at the time, Barbara Loden. At the time of her death at the age of 48 from breast cancer, she was married to the director Elia Kazan, by whom she had one child. She was perhaps best-known for her role in Kazan's 1961 film, "Splendor in the Grass", in which she played Warren Beatty's sister, as well as for portraying a fictionalized version of Marilyn Monroe in Kazan's stage production of "After the Fall", written by Monroe's former husband, playwright Arthur Miller. In 1970, Loden wrote, produced, directed, and starred in the independent film, "Wanda". Innovative in its cinéma vérité style, it was one of the very few American films directed by a woman to be theatrically released at that time. The film won the International Critics' Prize at the Venice Film Festival in 1970 and was presented at the 1971 Cannes Film Festival. Getting back to Ernie, you can bet that the stagehands filled that pint bottle with something more substantial than tea!

[From "Kovacs Corner" on YouTube.com] - One of Ernie's most remembered video sequences involved the Kurt Weill/Bertolt Brecht song "Mack the Knife" (or "Die Moritat von Mackie Messer") sung by the late German comedian and actor Wolfgang Neuss. While running the audio through an oscilloscope, Ernie had a television camera record it's synchonized wave form display. It was a pioneering effort to combine an artistic, musical, and a comedic context to a technical aspect of video production. Appearing this video are Kovacs regulars Bobby Lauher, who plays among others the Scottish character, and Joe Mikolas as the baratone. Jolene Brand makes an appearance as magician Matzoh Hepplewhite's assistant. Ernie, of course, is costumed as Matzoh and he also makes a straightforward appearance as the carpenter driving the nail into Joe's head.

[From "Kovacs Corner" on YouTube.com] - This blackout clip has Ernie satirizing topics which always appear to have social relevence...even after 48 years! Does the style of the cartoon characters seem familiar? Keep in mind that Ernie at the time was also a fan and occasional contributing writer to Mad Magazine. The weather forcast segment with Jolene Brand appears to be a not-so-veiled jab at NBC-Radio personality Tedi Thurman, who was popularly known as "Miss Monitor". (Ernie and Jolene also threw in a good measure of Jayne Mansfield to boot!). Broadcast radio fans can view more information about Tedi, and listen to a sample of her vocalization of the weather forcast, at www.monitorbeacon.net . BTW, Jolene's refers to "Pluvius". Jupiter Pluvius was an ancient god who was the reliever of droughts.

[From "Kovacs Corner" on YouTube.com] - As the creator of the "video mashup", the late Ernie Kovacs marries his love of music to his sense of comedic absurdity. If you listen carefully, it sounds as if this production was taped in the studio with a live orchestra. Notice when "Prince Siefried" throws his bow to the side and you can hear it land. Kovacs was known to go through exhaustive, and expensive, production elements if he felt it was warranted. The prime example is the clip where he portrays the television used car salesman who smacks the fender of the Nash Metropolitan, and it goes crashing through the elevated stage platform to the ground below. It reportedly used that week's entire production budget.

[From "Kovacs Corner" on YouTube.com] - Only Ernie Kovacs could envision Tchaikovsky's masterwork accompanied by mechanical toy monkeys, splattered eggs against a frying pan, and a rather zoftig ballerina played by actress Muriel Landers. Preceeding the clip are two blackout sequences featuring Jolene Brand in a bathtub, and Ernie himself. [Update May 31, 2010] BTW...to answer some verbal inquiries, Ernie's out-of-sync audio was not a problem on my part at uploading the YT video. It was Ernie's deliberate action at disorienting the viewer, which was to match the disorienting visual of the small girl on his shoulder.

[From "Kovacs Corner" on YouTube.com] - After his debut over WPTZ in Philadelphia, and a brief stint at local station WCBS, NBC programming chief Sylvester "Pat" Weaver, the father of actress Sigourney, brought Ernie into the New York market over WRCA-TV. Later the call sign was changed to WNBC-TV, which is still the NBC Television Network's flagship station in NYC. This morning program predated The Today Show with Dave Garroway. Prior to this time it was assumed that nobody would watch a television program prior to 7AM. Ernie proved them wrong! Remember, the rules and and writing techniques that we take for granted today were just being created, tried, and tested. The audience seems asleep and Ernie makes a heroic effort to keep the pace of the show moving. So little remains of these early television programs that we by circumstance may not see the very best of Ernie's material from this period. Enjoy it as an example of a surviving work. By the way, Ernie just finished a three hour stint on the NBC Radio Network for "Monitor" before this show!

[From "Kovacs Corner" on YouTube.com] - This was Ernie's quirky concept for a game show. His panelists in this clip are Cesar Romero ("The Joker" from the 1960's Batman TV series), fellow Hungarian Zsa Zsa Gabor, and Jim Backus (the voice of Mr. Magoo, and actor in the character of "Thurston Howell III" on the TV series Gilligan's Island). Other panelists included his wife Edie Adams, radio, film and televison star Hans Conreid, and writer, comedian, and future film director Carl Reiner. TV Guide wrote in 1959: "Innovative comedian Ernie Kovacs hosted this game show in which celebrity panelists tried to guess the identities of guests, who were usually associated with a newsworthy event. Clues included recordings, film clips and reenactments." The show was not so much about playing a TV game as much as Ernie, with his ever present cigar, creating and playing the previously videotaped clue sequences.

Kovacs was of Hungarian background but looks Cuban as Capt Segura. Our Man in Havana was shot in Cuba 2 months after Fidel Castro came to power but the story is set in pre revolutionary times. Read the book TROPICANA NIGHTS by Ofelia Fox, widow of former Tropicana owner Martin Fox it is a facinating read.

[From "Kovacs Corner" on YouTube.com] - Ernie uses his mastery of dialects in his comedic characterization of German Disc Jockey, "Wolfgang von Sauerbraten". It is interesting to note that, early in his career Ernie was actually a DJ over WTTM in his hometown of Trenton NJ. Kovacs seemed to have a fondness for the nonsense word "Pffft", as he used it with some regularity. It's fitting that his best friend, Jack Lemmon, starred in a 1954 movie entitled "Phffft".

[From "Kovacs Corner" on YouTube.com] - This silent movie inspired video exemplifies Ernie's somewhat twisted but all too real take on the clichéd idea that "the good guy always gets the girl". Jolene Brand plays the girl, with Joe Mikolas as the top hatted villain. Bobby Lauher is the chump. I threw in a Kovacs blackout at the beginning as an extra added attraction! [Updated October 27, 2010] A very appreciative note of thanks goes out to YT subscriber "ishouldntbeyoutubing" for identifying the background classical music as "Till Eulenspiegels Merry Pranks" by Richard Strauss.
