Milton Berle in a Thimble

Milton Merle was a sickening, lip-heavy, nasty, lewd, unfunny comedian who was known as "Uncle Miltie" and "Mr. Television" during the so-called "Golden Age of Television".

Milton Berle's idea of stand-up comedy consisted of insulting people and cross-dressing, as though both were the most natural and inoffensive thing in the world.

American TV viewers west of the Hudson River eventually proved his theory about comedy to be wrong.
