Saturday with Bert Lahr

For some reason, here, today, October 10, 2026, following another lulu of a bad, very bad, not good, no bueno, no fun week in which our favorite MLB team was 10,000 miles from a winning W-L record and the playoffs, we tip our hats to an all-time favorite performer, the one, the only Bert Lahr. . . yes, that inimitable stage and screen great, known for his derring-do as The Cowardly Lion, in Lay's Potato Chips ads and Waiting For Godot - THAT GUY!Wikipedia adds "Irving Lahrheim (August 13, 1895 – December 4, 1967), known professionally as Bert Lahr, was an American stage and screen actor and comedian. He was well known for his quick-witted humor and his work in burlesque and vaudeville and on Broadway." The gang at Way Too Damn Lazy To Write A Blog loves him! Love his first appearances in movies, the ultra-wacky Bert, not toned down in any way, as he is in FLYING HIGH!Bert's almost as wacky as headliner of 2-reelers made in Astoria for Educational Pictures ("The Spice Of The Program"…
