Walter Harper (Jacket Design) Very good in Very good jacket. [2], 299, [3] pages. Illustrations. Inscribed by the author on fep. Henry Morgan (born Henry Lerner Van Ost Jr.; March 31, 1915-May 19, 1994) was an American humorist. He is remembered best in two modern media: radio, on which he first became familiar as a barbed but often self-deprecating satirist; and television, where he was a regular and cantankerous panelist for the game show I've Got a Secret. Morgan made one movie in which he had the lead role, producer Stanley Kramer's sophisticated comedy So This Is New York (1948). In 1949, NBC television gave him his own show, The Henry Morgan Show. Morgan's longest-lasting television image was struck in June 1952, when he was invited to join I've Got a Secret, produced by game show giants Mark Goodson and Bill Todman. Morgan's tenure on the show was marked by his periodic complaints about the (allegedly) horrid conditions in which he had to work, in between firing questions at the show's guests with the secrets. Morgan's mordant wit played well against the upbeat personalities of the other panelists, and producer Allan Sherman would deliberately stage elaborate "secrets" involving Morgan personally. Always known as much for his sarcastic grouchiness as his barbed self-deprecation, Morgan's 1994 memoir, Here's Morgan! The Original Bad Boy of Broadcasting, found him satirizing many of his former co-stars while straining not to examine his professional life beyond a series of in-and-out zaps, asides, and declarative statements-almost as if the reader were listening to a vintage radio satire of Morgan's life. This includes an Obituary written by the author while alive!
