Throwback Thursday Comedy Special: Myron Cohen Tells Story Jokes on the Ed Sullivan Show

A few weeks ago we posted an old Myron Cohen routine that got a lot of likes, so today we're posting another one of his routines that we found in the same treasure trove of video clips from The Ed Sullivan Show.

Let's turn the clock back 52 years to June 1969 for a few minutes with this legendary comedian masking his perfect English diction with a Yiddish accent.

Cohen is a perfect example of comedy depending on timing and delivery and he was a master of both. His jokes are better described as funny very short stories with a twist. In this segment he moves effortlessly through jokes about a coffee shop, taxi, lumberjack, and divorce.

Enjoy!
