The Best of Ernie Kovacs DVD

Ernie Kovacs was a unique comedic genius whose anarchic style was the unwitting forerunner to such hip, cutting-edge programs as Saturday Night Live. Armed with a seemingly endless parade of hilarious comic characters and brilliant musical parodies, Ernie Kovacs delighted audiences of all ages for over a decade until his untimely death brought down the curtain on one of television's most memorable and talented comedians. Now, compiled from over 600 hours of classic Kovacs footage, comes this riotous retrospective of one of the most original entertainers ever. Among the hilarious highlights you'll see here are:
  • The "crazy" 1812 Overture and the "Kitchen Symphony."
  • The gorilla "Swan Lake."
  • Clips from Kovacs' final "Eugene" broadcast.
  • Characters Miklos Molnar, Auntie Gruesome and Percy Dovetonsils.
  • Material broadcast just after Kovacs' death in 1962.
  • Much, much more.

For anyone who loves comedy, THE BEST OF ERNIE KOVACS is a must-have addition to your video library, a testament to the brilliance of the man who set the standard for small-screen hilarity.
