More Information:

A business check for $100 dated September 29, 1960, signed by legendary TV comedian Kovacs to his mother Mary (who also endorsed the reverse) in blue ink. Kovacs' ad-libbed, often experimental style influenced comedic programming for years after his tragic death in an automobile accident. Shows such as Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, Monty Python's Flying Circus, Saturday Night Live, Captain Kangaroo, Sesame Street, and even David Letterman all owe elements of their style to Kovacs. The check is in Very Fine condition with the usual cancellation marks. From the Ernie Kovacs/Edie Adams Estate Archive. Accompanied by James Spence Authentication auction LOA.
