The late television host Ed Sullivan happened to be in the audience and asked the comedian to appear on his show. Taylor found himself in demand for television and nightclub work after that Later he appeared on scores of variety and game shows. He also hosted "The $1.98 Beauty Show," a Chuck Barns production on which the winner received $1.98.

"And that's all she would receive," Taylor said. He even appeared in a Cheech and Chong movie, "Things are Tough All Over." "Cheech and Chong were very professional," he said.

With his famous handlebar mustache, exaggerated facial expressions and outlandish stage wardrobe including a full-length coat made out of Christmas tree tinsel Taylor is a study in visual comedy. His act is built upon visual humor. Taylor usually appears on stage with a large plastic trash receptacle filled with numerous props, including rubber chickens, brassieres, a walking stick with a six-pack of cola tied to the handle. "That's my Coke cane," he tells the audience. He's also fond of racing through the audience and tossing confetti on people's heads.

"I came up with this act when I realized that I just can't memorize lines," he explained. "There's no thinking involved. It's all based on just looking and laughing. That's what works for me." In fact, Taylor struggled to make a name for himself for many years before coming up with an act that worked for him. Born in Washington, he initially planned on a career in politics.

"Nowadays, the (politicians) are the ones doing the comedy," he dead-panned. At one point, he even got a job as a Senate page. However, his political career was BE KING OF THE ROAD TOO!

Despite his reputation as a class clown during his school years, the comedian didn't seriously consider a comedy career until this time. When he returned to this country, he whipped up a nightclub act and was booked at the old Giquot Club in Atlantic City.

However, the owner disliked his act so much that the comedian was fired after one performance. Discouraged, Taylor wandered to the Boardwalk until he came upon a group of elderly Jewish people speaking Yiddish. He then came up with a new act in which he'd pantomime to Yiddish records. Thus, the owner of the Cliquot Club agreed to rehire him, and his act went over well. Yet, he was still faced with an uphill career climb in the following years.

"I worked in some of the crummiest joints on the planet," he said. His frequent road tours eventually cost him his marriage to showgirl Rusty Rowe, whom he divorced in the early '60s. Then, after 15 years of struggling to make it in show business, Taylor landed a prestigious booking at a Cats- Casino Line Lee PAMTANO (series of consecutive winning hands on either banker or player) if a run develops. That is a very big if, because there are times when you can go through an entire shoe with nothing greater than three or four winning hands in a row.

He bets the previous winning hand and increases his bet. He starts out small, then parlays half of every winning hand.

"After all, everyone knows I wear one." However, Taylor doesn't experience too many career lows these days. He attributes this to his ability to play second banana. "Second bananas work all the time," he said. "If a show fails, the stars have trouble getting work. But the second bananas can always go on to something else."
