2022/04/19

Travel with us back in time to a Catskills resort in the 1950s. You're having a great time and notice that the featured stand-up comic is also the emcee, the game leader, and the campfire host. That was the mark of a "tummler" -- Yiddish for an all around entertainer who kept the energy high. And, if you were lucky, your tummler might have been the great Jan Murray who became a fixture on television variety, talk, and game shows as well as the standup stage from the 1950s through the 1980s.
