MINI BIO:
Breezy, beaming, black-haired, Broadway-based comedian who never quite made a home for himself in films, even though he made many more movies than most people realize. In vaudeville as a boy, he also made appearances in silents as a child actor, before making a name for himself on stage, radio and, especially, television, where he was phenomenally successful in the late 1940s and through the 1950s with his own show, when his wit and geniality shone through even poor material and had him dubbed "Mr. Television" or "Mr. Tuesday Night." His latter years were mainly spent on the nightclub circuit, although he continued to do sporadic but typically extrovert cameos in films.
