Back in 2015 we posted a classic Morey Amsterdam standup routine
with Polish jokes, doctor jokes, and golf jokes. This week we found another one of his routines.
Amsterdam was a great stand-up comedian in the days when political
correctness was unheard of. His ability to come up with a joke on any
subject earned him the name of The Human Joke Machine.
Amsterdam
had his own TV shows from 1948 to 1950. Among his regular guests was
song-and-dance man Art Carney. In 1950 he hosted the comedy-variety show
Broadway Open House, TV's first late-night entertainment show, on NBC.
It demonstrated the potential for late-night programming and led to the
later development of The Tonight Show.
Enjoy!
