  3. – I sit in the subway sometimes, on buses, or the movies, and I look at the people next to me and I think… “What would you say if I told you I was a witch?”

  8. Once again getting lost in the delightful surrealist world of Ernie Kovacs, a major influence on… basically everyone in absurdist teevee world. Without Ernie, there'd be no Pythons, no Pee-Wee, no Swedish chef.

  13. TODAY IN QUEER TV HISTORY

    THE ERNIE KOVACS SHOW - 7/2/1956, NBC

    One of the few ongoing queer characters on 1950s American television was Percy Dovetonsils: comedian Ernie Kovacs's beloved lisping, purse-lipped poet who recited bad verse on a set representing his Greenwich Village penthouse. Kovacs used this character on various shows for more than ten years.

    Given 1950s censorship of LGBTQ content, Percy's sexuality was mostly hinted at, though on rare occasions he would do things like comment on a cameraman's "muscular legs" or pluck petals from a flower reciting "He loves me, he loves me not..." This clip is from the premiere of Kovacs's summer 1956 series on NBC.
