TELEVISION’S ORIGINAL COMEDY GENIUS
Ernie Kovacs influenced many comedians and their
shows because of his experimental, uninhibited and
often adlibbed style of television comedy. Ernie and
his wife Edie Adams received Emmy nominations for
Best Performances in a Comedy Series in 1957. Much
of Kovacs’ talent wasn’t fully recognized until after his
death in an automobile accident, January 13, 1962 in
Los Angles. He was only 42.
