Editorial Reviews

Product Description
He came from a broken home in Trenton, New Jersey. He turned his adolescent escape into a legendary career. As a kid, Ernie Kovacs escaped troubles at home by pretending to be someone else, throwing himself into school drama productions. He never stopped performing. In shows and films like Ernie in Kovacsland, The Ernie Kovacs Show, Operation Mad Ball and Bell, Book and Candle Ernie introduced audiences to a new brand of comedy. His inspired lunacy and innovative style made him a national sensation, and paved the way for generations of comics to come. Here, BIOGRAPHY® explores his life and career through extensive clips and interviews. Discover how his bout with tuberculosis, contracted after he was mis-diagnosed with the disease and sent to a TB ward, helped forge his determination to succeed, and hear from his wife, daughter and colleagues like Jack Lemmon and Steve Allen. Laughter, lunacy and luck are present in equal measure in the story of a comedy pioneer.
