Ernie Kovacs, Lou Pack
TV and radio star Ernie Kovacs, right, dishes out the extra scrambled eggs while taxi driver Lou Pack pouts bacon on Ernie’s and his plates, in the Kovacs 17-room New York apartment, June 8, 1956, New York. Pack lets himself into the apartment at 5:10 a.m., six days a week, fixes the eggs and bacon, eats a silent breakfast with Ernie while both read the papers, then drives Ernie to an ABC radio network station for his disc jockey program. That’s the start of a day as scrambled as any eggs. After the three-hour show, Kovacs dashes to an NBC TV studio for rehearsal and his half-hour zany television show. His wife, singer Edie Adams, is on the show with him. The rest of the day is busy with production and business sessions, with an hour out for a steam bath. After dinner at home with Edie and Ernie’s two young daughters by a previous marriage, Kovacs writes his show until 2 or 3 in the morning. He says he gets along on an hour or two of sleep, or less. As if he were not busy enough, he will substitute for Sid Caesar on his TV shown this summer, starting on June 18, 1956. (AP Photo)
