Description
Meet Alan King, an icon of old-school comedy who was a fixture on nightclub stages, tv variety and talk shows, and the big screen from the 1960s through the 90s. While King started off as a rapid fire punchline machine, he developed into a fine storyteller, often drawing on his Jewish background for inspiration. He also became a sought after character actor, but his true calling was as the Abbot of the New York Friar's Club where he had a big hand in their legendary and legendarily profane "roasts." As always, find extended cuts in the comments at laughtracksradio.com, and thanks for sharing our shows.
