ERNIE KOVAC: Please Stand By. An affectionate tribute to the comedic legacy of Ernie Kovacs, who grew numerous from friends and family, and vintage clips from his various series. Kovacs (1919-62) began in the theater, but it was during a stint as a New Jersey DJ that his style took shape. Switching to TV in 1954, he recognized the potential of the medium to present visual gags. Though Kovacs' efforts often bewildered audiences and network executives, his work was a precursor to shows like Laugh-In and Monty Python's Flying Circus. As Jack Lemmon says, "he literally invented things that had never been done." Also interviewed are Steve Allen and Kovacs' widow, Edie Adams.
