Kovacs was a pioneer of TV comedy in the 1950's, edging closer, I think, to performance art than what people typically think of as comedy. Even with Percy Dovetonsils the comedy is odd, low key, and character generated, even though there is a poetic punch line toward the end.

Classic television from the always experimental Ernie Kovack, who was so ahead of his time, commedians are still stealing his stuff today. It was later reported that Jack Lemmon is in the monkey suit with the drum mallets.

The closing credits to one of Ernie's ABC Specials. Something of a lost art considering networks now want the time to plug their upcoming shows. My favorite part of this is the credit for the Production Coordinator- given Ernie's propensity for exceeding budgets, what we see may not have been too far from the truth.

Wow, a commercial shot on B&W videotape instead of film!! And watch how Ernie sells those cigars!! OK, so he doesn't directly sell the cigar itself, but isn't it a fun commercial, and how many commercials show the sponsor's product riddled with bullet holes at the end?!!?

Kovacs was of Hungarian background but looks Cuban as Capt Segura. Our Man in Havana was shot in Cuba 2 months after Fidel Castro came to power but the story is set in pre revolutionary times. Read the book TROPICANA NIGHTS by Ofelia Fox, widow of former Tropicana owner Martin Fox it is a facinating read.

I really like Ernie Kovacs!! He knew how to make commercials -- well, not 'fun', but strange!! Not sure if he or Stan Freberg is my favorite, but they did the coolest commercials 40+ years ago. And the odd thing is, Ernie did commercials shot on videotape (like this one) when most were only using film...
