Jewish Guilt

One of the reasons I find myself rushing to get all my picks posted before the 30th is because I made a commitment to Lair to do so.
Having made that pledge I have put my self in the crosshairs of something our host and I know about quite well, jewish guilt.

Of course we jews didn't invent guilt it was invented by our mothers to keep us in line.

One of my picks knows all about this too, Joey Bishop.
Not a jewish name you say well how about Joseph Abraham Gottlieb, now what could be more jewish than that.

Joey was born in the Bronx in 1918 which was the same year my dad was born in Brooklyn.

At one point he held the record for most guest hosts for Johnny Carson on the tonight show (it may still be a record, 177) until he decided to take on Carson head to head with his own show on ABC which lasted only 2 years.

Now extra points if you can guess his regular sidekick on the show, which ran from 1967-1969, who is not only still performing but doing better than he has ever done.

Click above to get the answer. Comment if you knew before hand, no cheating now.
