Description
|
|
|
|
Before his untimely death at age 42, television pioneer Ernie Kovacs left behind a sublime body of comedic work whose influence can be seen in the humor of Monty Python, Saturday Night Live, and David Letterman. In the last year of his life he made eight TV specials for ABC, which show Kovacs at the peak of his creative experimentation with the medium, featuring many of his comic masterpieces and iconic set pieces. Five of these programs are preserved here in complete uncut form, along with several of his celebrated—and delightfully offbeat—commercials for Dutch Masters cigars.
