My Take
Joey Bishop earns my respect just for being the so-called Frown Prince and steady hand of the Rat Pack, holding his own among giants like Sinatra and Dean Martin as the group's quick-witted strategist. Working in television as early as 1948 and later hosting his own late-night talk show with a young Regis Philbin at his side, he was something of a pioneer of the format. I love that his comedy ran on dry timing and intelligence rather than noise. Living to 89 and passing in 2007, he feels like a genuine chronicler of a vanished golden age of show business.
