Buddy Hackett – August 2013

Posted in: Quote of The Month



August’s quote of the month is from American comedian and actor Buddy Hackett. He began his career by performing in nightclubs in the Catskills Borscht Belt resorts. He then performed in the Broadway show ‘Lunatics & Lovers’. His Broadway performances caught the attention of TV producer Max Liebman who cast Hackett in two television specials. Hackett would be a frequent guest on many talks shows and would often upstage the hosts thanks to his brand of off-color and racial jokes. He made the most appearances of any other guest in the history of ‘The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson’. In addition, Hackett was a frequent guest on the game show ‘Hollywood Squares’. Also, Hackett had a successful film career and appeared in several hit movies such as ‘It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World’, ‘The Love Bug’ and ‘Scrooged’. Hackett grew up in Brooklyn, New York and would often discuss his early childhood and upbringing in many of his acts. In this month’s quote, Hackett discusses his choices for food at the dinner table at his family’s home…

“As a child my family’s menu consisted of two choices: take it or leave it”. – Buddy Hackett
