On This Day in History

Melissa Manchester was born back in 1951!
Not a comic, not really at all.
As a matter of fact I’m pretty sure the only
funny thing she ever did was add vocals to a
National Lampoon vinyl album track on a
recording that came out in the early seventies.
Happy Birthday Melissa!
This be the track, with Norman Rose…

The Late, Great Harvey Korman was born back in 1927!
His comedic pedigree was ginormous, truly a one of a kind.
Starred in more than a few Mel Brooks movies, a cast
member of the Carol Burnette Show, lots of guest spots
on the best sitcoms ever and general all around
funny guy.
This is a great scene, some would say classic, from
Blazing Saddles where Harvey plays the bad guy at
the table looking for gang members to do his bidding…

Matt Groening was born back in 1954!
Matt is somewhat known for being the creator of
a rather obscure television animation that some folks
find funny, it’s rarely watched and might not even
be on the air anymore, I’m not really sure.
Happy Birthday Matt Groening!
Whoever you are…

Emo Philips was born back in 1956!
One of the better ones, when he was
at his peak his coleslaw was formidable.
I consider a few of his jokes as good as it gets.
Happy Birthday Emo, may you have MANY more!
Rumor has it he’s touring with Weird Al this year…
