    “Silence of the Hams” ?

    The week better end with the scariest of all, “Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy”.

    Hopkins looks so young. But Fats was just a Hugo Fitch clone.

    I never understood how Bergen made a career as a ventriloquist. You could see his lips moving. Of course, he got his start on radio ;-)

    Because he was funny. And he had a talented daughter.

    Until Hannibal Lector came along, this was probably the role Anthony Hopkins was most remembered for… at least, for my generation.

  • Eric Hinkle

    What about Jeff Dunham and Achmed?

  • maggie smith

    I never thought he was funny and nobody knew about his daughter until she grew up.

    That, and being the doctor in The Elephant Man.

    Oops, forgot about that one!

    During one radio show the audio technician found the sound level kept varying. When he couldn’t find a cause in the booth, he looked out at the studio. The boom mike operator was dutifully aiming the mike back and forth between ventriloquist and dummy.

    Whatever his technical faults, Bergen was talented enough to be convincing. :-)

    People who work with the Muppets quickly acquire the habit of speaking directly to them and ignoring the muppeteers. Same sort of thing, I suppose.

    I never saw this movie but the commercials scared the crap out of me when I was a kid!
