Shecky Greene

Shecky Greene is considered by many to be the ultimate, consummate nightclub performer. He is one of less than half a dozen comedians who has headlined Las Vegas hotels and been paid in the six figures a week to do so (the others being Buddy Hackett, Don Rickles, Bill Cosby and Johnny Carson -- a rare fraternity indeed). Over the years Shecky played many Las Vegas casinos and lounges, including the Starlight Lounge, the Tropicana and the Last Frontier, becoming one of the biggest names in lounge entertainment in Nevada. He was being offered film roles, TV shows, bookings in the best cafes. Shecky turned them down in favor of his nightclub work. (Actually, he did say "yes" over the years to many talk-variety show appearances.) Along the way Shecky has picked up numerous awards for nightclub performances, including the Las Vegas Entertainment Award for "Best Lounge Entertainer," the Jimmy Durante Award for "Best Comedian," and "Male Comedy Star" from the Las Vegas Academy of Variety and Cabaret Artists. He did eventually work in films, including Splash, Mel Brooks' History of the World -- Part 1, and Tony Rome. He has appeared on many game shows and was a substitute host on Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show." In recent years Shecky has appeared on television series ranging from "Laverne and Shirley" to "The A-Team" to "Northern Exposure." He spends several hours a day helping fellow talents to improve their acts. Delighted that comedy is strong again, Shecky likes the new breed of comedians, but does not necessarily agree with the language used. "Funny is funny," he says; "shock is not funny." Racquetball is his favorite exercise, but he also enjoys riding and walks on the beach.
