Ernie Kovacs

When doing some online reading about IAMMMMW I came across the factoid that Ernie Kovacs was contracted to play the Sid Caesar character opposite his wife Edie Adams. Before shooting, though, Kovacs died in a car accident. Two factoids about Kovacs that made me laugh: 1. (taken verbatim from his IMDB listing): "Ernie Kovacs, California-bound on jet 707, was told he could smoke one of those formidable cigars of his - if he didn't annoy the lady passengers. 'So I decided not to smoke,' concludes Ernie. 'It was more fun to annoy the lady passengers.' " - Bennet Cerf 2. His epitaph. Where we saw it: we didn't | We deign to rate it: "It's appropriate that television is considered a medium since it's rare if it's ever well done." outta 100
