Tonight, I give you a true artist. A man of Danish birth and Jewish ancestry who caught the last neutral ship from Petsamo, Finland to the United States, this man escaped the Nazis by a hair. And when he arrived in America, he had $17 and absolutely no skill in English. But with his remarkable musical talent and his wonderfully dry humor, he made it big.
I give you two of his pieces. One spoken, one played on the piano.
Ladies and gentleman, the Clown Prince of Denmark... the Great Dane...
Mr. Victor Borge...
Inflationary Language
Happy Birthday
