The Ross Report

car5404

Kliph Nesteroff has whipped up a very impressive and interesting profile of the late comedian Joe E. Ross, who was featured on Sgt. Bilko and who starred on Car 54, Where Are You? and It's About Time. Ross was a very amusing man on those rare occasions when he managed to actually do what Nat Hiken (producer and creator of those first two shows) told him what to do. But his friends still tell stories about how he seemed cluelessly intent on sabotaging his own career by not learning his lines or by doing things that folks around him found grossly offensive. Read the sad/funny story.
