He told me and Dan Pasternack that Elvis was originally going to be the headliner - but the first night went so poorly and they switched the order to Elvis opening and Shecky closing for the rest of the engagement.
#RIPSheckyGreene
The name ‘Shecky’ is often used to suggest an old school, hacky comic - but truth is Shecky was a true artist. An innovator, improviser, storyteller & confessional comedian when all of those were unheard of in standup.
One of the GREATS. reviewjournal.com/entertainment/…
Shecky Greene was a brilliant, complicated man. When Paul Provenza and I visited him in Las Vegas last year, he said that he was the 1st comic ever to perform in a casino lounge. And he shared that he was on the same aircraft carrier in WWII as Jonathan Winters. What a life. RIP.
