Link goes to wrong Joey Adams

The link for Joey Adams gets redirected to Joey Lauren Adams, a talented actress born in 1968. I do not think she is the Borscht Belt comedian who was inducted into the Friars Club in 1977 and wrote the book Borscht Belt in 1973. Did the redirect from Joey Adams to Joey Lauren Adams wipe out a previous article on the older Joey Adams? Or, was there never a Wikipedia article on the Borscht Belt comedian Joey Adams? r3 22:04, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's an awfully generous 'B'

The only reference cited is a blog which is heavily biased in favor of Morgan's anti-sponsor, and later, anti-American views. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.127.59.57 (talk) 22:53, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Originator of phrase "Five cent psychiatrist"

Henry Morgan is the originator of the phrase "five cent psychiatrist" which persists to today via Charles Schultz's "Peanuts". See the article "Henry Morgan: Kidding of silly commercials wins him fame on new network show" from "Life" magazine, October 14, 1946 page 129:

One of Morgan's favorite sayings is, "What America needs is a good five-cent psychiatrist."

Morgan early radio show quip
[edit]

As a kid in the forties I would listen to his radio show and remember this line “in 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue “ Dentistmensch (talk) 19:38, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

To Tell the Truth
[edit]

Henry impersonated a Polish spy on The Tell The Truth and got unamimously voted, perfect Polish accent, got all the obscure questions right. Very funny when he took off the hood and they saw it was Henry, star of a rival show. 2601:600:9080:22A0:8874:2838:4565:487 (talk) 05:46, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
