Jack Carter (and His Type of Classy Comedian) is Gone

Do you think many if any of today’s comedians, male or female, could be as funny or fast, no less as witty, as the great comedian Jack Carter, who passed away at age 93.

To answer the above question they could not do it, without the blue material.

Nothing inherently wrong with blue material, but the greats like Carter, could be funny without it. Today few, if any even try.

Whether on “The Match Game,” or What’s My Line,” (first as a mystery guest and then as a panelist) or on so many comedy roasts, Jack Carter with his rapid fire delivery and great wit always entertained.

He did so with class. Where has that type gone?!
