June 28, 2015: Rapid-fire comedian and frequent guest on The Ed Sullivan Show, Jack Carter died of respiratory failure. He was 93. During his long career, which began just after World War 2, Carter appeared in everything from Broadway's Call me Mister to Showtime's Shameless. He attended the Academy of Dramatic Art, at first intending to become a dramatic actor, but found his home in comedy.
Carter spent two years hosting NBC's Cavalcade of Stars before getting his own show, The Jack Carter Show, which ran for three seasons. He appeared in Laugh-In, Match Game, along with a myriad of other successful TV comedies. Carter even made a few forays into film, with parts in Viva Las Vegas and Mel Brooks' History of the World, Part I.
That's Carol Doda on #3, the first topless dancer in the world.
Passed away on November 9th, 2015.
