Harry Parke Facts
Died at the dais only moments after he had sat down from his comedic presentation at a Lucille Ball/Desi Arnaz Friar's Roast. When Milton Berle, seated next to him, shouted, "Is there a doctor in the house?" the audience laughed, not yet realizing that Berle was serious.

From December, 1936, to March, 1939, covering 39 episodes, he was a featured regular on Al Jolson's CBS radio show, "The Lifebuoy Program." In keeping with his mangling of language, he called Jolson both "Joslyn" and "Jostin".

When Harry slumped down onto Milton Berle's lap on the day of Harry's death, Berle directed crooner Tony Martin to sing, attempting to divert the crowd. Martin's unfortunate song choice was "There's No Tomorrow".
