'I was raised on #shtick. My dad had written gags for The Phil Silvers Show. Silvers, known as the “King of Chutzpah,” was a classic Borscht Belt-type comic who had the good fortune to be around for the dawn of television.'
- Anthony V Orkin.

I haven't got much time, so if you love your country, if you're a patriot, you listen and you listen hard. You've got to get to a phone and you've got to make a call!
- Phil Silvers in his best film role as the devious Otto Meyer.

Lovely mention from Kingsley Hall of @benefitsuk, a politically charged punk band from Teeside. They performed at @justdroppedin last week and before the gig discovered the Museum.

From 1957 until 2004 Bilko was shown on BBC1 & BBC2 over 1100 times making it the most repeated US comedy show in the Corporation's history! It was, and still is in a class of it's own!

The museum @philsilvers.bsky.social at FarGo Village #Coventry is a treasure trove of popular cultural history and comedy. And then there's #FunkoPop merchandise enroute to the museum. All in the heart of Coventry's own mini-Camden.

During World War II, Maurice Gosfield served in the U.S. Army as a Technician fourth grade (T/4) in the 8th Armored Division. No bone spurs excuses for our Maurice! Later cast by Nat Hiken as the unforgettable Duane Doberman!
