Hundreds of comedians have come and gone to entertain the masses
on television over the years. There was Lucile Ball who earned the
title "Queen of TV Comedy" for her zany slapstick role of Lucy
Ricardo on the sitcom I LOVE LUCY. And Bob Hope ("Well, I wanna tell
ya..."), Jack Benny ("Well!"), and George Burns ("Say Goodnight,
Gracie!") also wowed us with their comic timing, sophisticated humor
and funny one-liners.
But, in the midst of all this frivolity, there was another type
of comedian. One that created unique comic characters like Edith
Ann, Freddie the Freeloader, The Church Lady and the Samurai
Warrior. It is to those comedians and their pantheon of comic
characters that this section is dedicated.
Each individual entry is arranged alphabetically by the last name
of the comedian and includes the "Name of the Show" on which
comedian appeared and a short summary of the comic characters they
portrayed on that show.

You don't know anything about boxing! |
| Davy: |
That's not so! I used to be quite a scrapper at school,
y'know. There was this one big bully, always used to be
pickin' on me, so one day I went wham-o! with a
right and wham-o! with a left! |
| Peter: |
What happened? |
| Davy: |
She never bothered me again |
