"Ernie's Journeys" is a bold collection of essays focused on early
television's original comic genius, Ernie Kovacs, whose
experimental, uninhibited visual comedy influenced generations of
future comedians and comedy programming years after his untimely
death in 1962. Intriguing chapters include a comparative look at
Ernie and Buster Keaton, who incidentally co-starred with Ernie in
an ill-fated pilot for a comedy western sitcom; speculations as to
what Kovacs would have made of modern technology, like the
Internet; and a rare look at Kovacs compared to fellow rebel icon,
Lenny Bruce. "Ernie's Journeys" is a splendid addition to other
Kovacs biographies in the libraries of all Kovacs fans, and anyone
who loves to laugh. The Legendary Laughter Series highlights
classic comedy from the silent era to the television age,
engagingly written, revealing the stories behind the laughs ? by a
lifelong student of the great laughmakers and a fellow practitioner
of comedy. Relax, pull up a whoopie-cushion, and enjoy
