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. As always, find extended cuts in the comments at laughtracksradio.com and thanks for sharing our shows!
