My Take
Jack Carter represents, to me, the golden age of American entertainment, the rapid-fire comic born in Brooklyn and mentioned in the same breath as Milton Berle. Working across stage, film and television and staying active into his nineties, he showed the rare nerve it took to make live audiences laugh in TV's earliest days. Younger generations may not know his name, but so much of today's show business rests on craftsmen like him. I have a real soft spot for performers who built the foundations, and I quietly tip my hat to a working comedian who lasted that long.
