Buddy Hackett
Release Date:
If ever there was an irreverent, spicy comedian, it had to be Buddy Hackett. Buddy was a nightclub comic and one of the biggest headliners in Las Vegas history. He also had some acting credits including “It’s a Mad Mad World,” “Music Man,” and “The Love Bug.” Hackett made many appearances on “The Tonight Show” with Johnny Carson and Jack Paar. Buddy had bell’s palsy as a child which caused his slurred speech and strange facial expressions. Did he ever appear nude on stage? I’ll let him answer that. On the radio, his recording of “The Chinese Waiter” was played many times.
