My dad's favorite Victor Borge routine. If anyone said 'Loo-ten-ant', he'd correct them with a grin, saying, 'Loo-leven-ant'. RIP, daddy, and Victor, and thanx so so very much, dear gentlemen, for the magic, music, and memories.
My fellow Dane. When he performed in Denmark which he did often, the would cleverly play on words using both languages, if you understand both languages he is very funny. Of course he is funny in English as well. His real name was Boerge Rosenbaum, and he left Denmark to escape the Gestapo.
I wish when I were younger my parents had had this tape instead of the older performance. Borge's accent continued to become easier to understand over time, and for the Ed Sullivan audience, he seemed to spend a lot of time explaining "inflationary language." On the tape we had, this routine was right before and overlapping "Phonetic punctuation," and he seemed to hurry through them expecting the audience to know what was coming. These routines are confusing enough in the best of circumstances; imagine being 8 years old and hearing them one after the other at a frenzied pace.
No. There's a famous photo, published in nearly every newspaper in the country, of Johnson lifting his pet beagle up by the ears. There was a fair amount of public comment and criticism about it.
Truly a great .. excuse me ... grNINE dane. As a dane I should probably thank Hitler for making him have to flee Denmark. His talent deserved the bigger audience and he enjoyed both countries.
This is not the video I inelevended watching, but I'm glad I got the opporthreenity.
Don't start with me. Lol.🥰 Xxxxxxxx
